BUSCADOR RECOLECTA

MAYC-95 Cruise (29HE19951004) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 1995, Continental margin and deep basins: sedimentary record variable. During the campaign of October 1995 two types of scientific activities have been carried out: 1) Physical oceanography studies in transit between Cartagena and Las Palmas de Gran Canaria: 10 CTD stations up to 1000 m and 70 XBT stations up to 800 m. Continuous measurements with thermosalinograph and currents with ADCP. The salinity of the samples was calculated with the autosal. 2) Studies of marine geology on the continental margin of Agadir and the Agadir basin (Morocco): 13 seismic profiles of air cannons and TOPAS system, 3 EM-2 echosounder profiles, 13 gravimetric and magnetometric profiles. The different techniques used have allowed the morphological and seismic recognition of the system formed by the continental margin of Agadir and the Agadir Basin in order to quantify the transfer of sediments from the mainland to the Agadir Basin and to establish the chronology of the important events sedimentary
