Cruise diary: During the November cruise with «G.O. Sars» we have seen a lot of sandy mud with some occasional patches of fine gravel on the seafloor. Although soft bottom sediments are not always the most exciting for geologists; they may provide important clues about biological traces and activity in the sediments.
MAREANO is in the planning phase for a survey with Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) next year. Therefore, we kindly ask the industry for specific feedback on USV as a survey platform – already by December 16.
Cruise diary: This April saw MAREANO return to Kvitøyrenna to pick up the missing pieces of our previous sampling campaigns, a first step towards delivering a completed puzzle.
MAREANO maps depth and topography, sediment composition, contaminants, biotopes and habitats in Norwegian waters. The results of the surveys are available on this website, visualised through maps. A number of our partners also supply data and maps from their own studies.
