Processed Data Hydrosweep DS-2

R/V Maurice Ewing - Lamont, Sep. 1991

The following images show deep sea depth data from the fracture zone between the Nazca Plate and the Pacific Plate (for exact position, see top image). This is a geological active area with scientifically interesting features like continental plates, ridges, trenches and many vulcanos.

The data have been measured with the STN Atlas Multibeam Echosounder Hydrosweep DS-2, recorded in Sep.1991 on board "R/V Maurice Ewing" (see Homepage and Photograph), which is operated by Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory.
