Description:
The R/V ATLANTIS II Cruise 93 Leg 7 left Port Louis,
Mauritius, 8 April 1976 on a 29 day geophysical and
geological survey in the Mascarene and Somali Basins in the
Western Indian Ocean. Table 1 lists the members of the
scientific party. Seventeen piston cores were successfully
recovered in the Mascarene Basin, Amirante Trench and
Somali Basin regions. Table 2 summarizes these coring
stations. Single channel continuous seismic profiles were
made on 2920 km of ship's track in the Somali Basin. Echo
soundings, total geomagnetic field and gravity field data
were collected throughout the entire leg. The R/V ATLANTIS II
arrived in Mombasa, Kenya, on 6 May 1976. For analysis of the
data collected during this cruise see Bunce and Molnar
(1977) and Johnson and Bunce (1977). We present here
summary charts of the underway data collected during this
cruise.
