BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

COSTEM-3 Cruise (29GD20110209) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2011, The COSTEM project studies the current processes that control the sedimentary dynamics on the external platform, the headwaters of submarine canyons and the upper slope of the continental margin of the Ebro and the Gulf of Valencia. The main objective of the study is to expand the knowledge of the current mechanisms of sediment transport from the platform to the slope, and determine the role played by this system in energy episodes such as heavy storms or the presence of internal waves

HERMIONE-I Cruise (29GD20110510) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2011, Hotspot Ecosystem Research and Man's Impact on European seas. Contemporary sediment transport processes were measured by an instrumented mooring line equipped with a downward-looking 300 kHz acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) from Teledyne RDI and three turbidimeters (AQUA logger 520 from the Aquatec Group) deployed from 10 May to 22 September 2011 on the northern flank of La Fonera Canyon, at 980 m depth within the Montgrí tributary valley axis. Seafloor sediment samples from the canyon flanks were collected using a six-tube multicorer from KC-Denmark during the HERMIONE-1 cruise onboard the RV García del Cid

COSTEM-4 Cruise (29GD20110605) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2011, The COSTEM project studies the processes that control sedimentary dynamics in the external platform, in the area of ​​the headwaters of the submarine canyons and the upper slope of the continental margin of the Ebro and the Gulf of Valencia. The main objective of the study is to expand the knowledge of the current mechanisms of sediment transport from the platform to the slope, and determine what role the energy episodes exert in this system, such as strong storms or the presence of internal waves

HERMIONE-II Cruise (29GD20111009) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2011, Hotspot Ecosystem Research and Man's Impact on European seas

COSTEM-5 Cruise (29GD20111020) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2011, The COSTEM project studies the current processes that control the sedimentary dynamics on the external platform, the headwaters of submarine canyons and the upper slope of the continental margin of the Ebro and the Gulf of Valencia. The main objective of the study is to expand the knowledge of the current mechanisms of sediment transport from the platform to the slope, and determine the role played by this system in energy episodes such as heavy storms or the presence of internal waves
