Doppler transects will be made in navigation

CAÑONES-II Cruise (29GD20010524) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, Multidisciplinary study of the dynamics of a submarine canyon and its repercussion on the ecology of the continental margin of the North-Western Mediterranean. The 7 anchors with current meters and sediment traps installed in the area of ​​the Palamós canyon during the CAÑONES I campaign will be recovered and will be returned to install. 23 CTD stations will be made and water samples will be taken with the rosette of 12 bottles

CAÑONES-III Cruise (29GD20010710) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, The eight anchors installed in the last campaign will be removed and will be reinstalled, samples will be made with the maxicorer

CAÑONES-IV Cruise (29GD20011126) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2001, This campaign is the end point of the temporary cycle of the anchorages, in which the material must be collected

HUELVA Cruise (29GD20020528) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 2002, Diagnosis on the environmental and health situation of the Ria de Huelva. It is also intended to install an anchor

PALEOPAC Cruise (29HE19960309) carried out on the Research Vessel Hespérides in 1996, The PALEOPAC campaign was developed in the South Pacific in March 1996. During the campaign, kasten cores, gravity corers, maxicores, bathymetric profile with EK 500 and EM 12 probe and very high resolution profiles with BPS parametric probe were taken. The concrete areas of the study have been the southern Chilean margin around the Gulf of Penas, the "sea mounts" located in the basins off the Chilean continental margin and the Nazca Ridge. The intensive zone of work and sampling has been the Nazca Ridge. The purpose of the campaign has been to take cores in areas of the Pacific that allowed to study the paleoceanographic variability from the record of indicators of paleotemperatures and paleoproductivities accumulated in the sediment. The analysis of parameters such as the biogenic opaline, the content of organic matter and certain radioisotopes make it possible to reconstruct the records of paleoproductivity, paleotemperature and ocean circulation during periods of hundreds of kiloyears.

FANS-3 Cruise (29GD19970707) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 1997, Study of the fluxes across narrow shelves. Study the distribution of water masses, sediment, nutrients, chlorophyll and oxygen, to combine with time series and study the circulation in the platform and the processes that regulate flows in it, especially those related to transfers between the littoral-platform-slope.In this campaign two lines instrumented with current meters and transmisometers will be collected

FLUXALB-I Cruise (29GD19971027) carried out on the Research Vessel García del Cid in 1997, To study the sedimentary flows associated with the exchange in semi-enclosed seas and fronts.During the campaign 3 moorings with sediment traps, current meters and transmisometers will be installed. 2 profiles of 5 points will be made taking large volume water (160L) with the rosette of 24 bottles. There will be 4 CTD transects with a total of 40 stations taking samples of water with niskin bottles installed in a rosette of 12 bottles. Sample of sediment samples with maxicorer (3) and gravity controls (2). Register of continuous thermosalinograph

Will be made 2 profiles of 6 points taking samples of water of large volume (30L). Three transects of CTD will be realized with a total of 60 stations, taking samples of water with niskin bottles installed in rosette of 12 bottles .Pattern of atmospheric particulate material .Meteorological conditions registration
