Ship-based Survey for Marine Sediments

ALKOR cruise: 31 MARCH and 01 April, 2025 (Kiel - Eckerförde- Kiel)
As part of a 2-day excursion with RV ALKOR, marine geological topics from the Bay of Kiel are dealt with. As part of the cruise, the practice of various marine geological devices (multi-beam echo sounder, sediment echo sounder, CTD measurements, gravity corer and grab) is practiced and applied to the Kiel and Eckernförde Bay.

After the research cruise, the students not only saw marine geological equipment, but also got to know it in real ship use. Special marine geological topics of a humid marginal sea are familiar to them.
