SECOND CAMPAIGN – NORSEAT 2023

From September 1st to September 12th, 2023, our team conducted the second survey aboard RV Belgica. The primary goal of this survey was to obtain sediment core samples from three distinct research areas: Dury Voe, Basta Voe, and Sullom Voe. In addition to collecting core sediment samples, we also conducted geophysical data acquisition using TOPAS and MULTIBEAM systems, significantly enhancing our swath grid and coverage area compared to the previous survey. The scientific team for this second NORSEAT campaign comprised experts from various institutions, including Ghent University, Geological Survey of Belgium, University of Coimbra, University of Heidelberg, University of Koln, Flanders Marine Institute (VLIZ), and Sea Network POGO Ocean.
