The aim of the TAN1806-QUOI (Quantitative Ocean-Column Imaging using hydroacoustics) voyage on RV Tangaroa was to improved methods to characterise bubbles in the water column originating from seafloor targets such as cold gas seeps and hydrothermal vents. The July 2018 20-day voyage focused on the C...
