EM302 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During SKQ201402S

SKQ201402S Cruise (EM302). The basic premise of this project is to conduct a high-resolution, near-bottom magnetic survey of the Hawaiian lineations using the magnetically quiet, stable platform, AUV Sentry. This vehicle would collect the best quality data available without having to use deep-towed sensors in 6000-m deep water. The use of an AUV also allowed us to carry out an interleaved multichannel seismic program to image the shallow crustal structure and sediment thickness while the AUV’s batteries were being recharged.
