Description
Summary:From the evening of July 23rd to the morning of August 1st, the Department of Geosciences at UiT The Arctic University of Norway, arranged an educational cruise to the northern Svalbard Margin/Yermak Plateau (Figure 1) for the courses GEO-3144 and GEO-8144 (Marine geology and geophysics cruise). The main aim of the cruise was to introduce the students to work at sea, which included acquisition of marine geological data (acoustic data and sediment cores) and lab analyses of split gravity cores. The students worked 12-hour shifts during the cruise The cruise may be known as: IG19-3_AMGG
