BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

MARINADA Cruise (29HE20020803) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 2002, Continental Slope Stability (COSTA-ETC) .The main objective of COSTA is to assess the stability of the European continental slope in relation both to the natural processes that occur in the slope and to the effects of human activities (for example the extraction of hydrocarbons in deep waters). This objective will be achieved through rigorous analysis of 1) landslides that have occurred from prehistory to the present. 2) areas conducive to sliding. 3) areas of interest for deepwater oil and gas exploration
