Vessel: RV Heincke
Dates: 28.10. (Bremerhaven) to 12.11.2013 (Bremerhaven)
Area: German Bight
Involved Projects: NOAH / MARUM SD1 CCP5
PI: Christian Winter (MARUM)
Participants: Arne Schwab (MARUM), Gabriel Herbst (MARUM), Mareike Büld (Uni HH), Jana Friedrich (HZG), Felix Jansen (MPI), Celine Naderipour (HZG), Andreas Neumann (AWI), Moritz Holtappels (MARUM, MPI), Sören Ahmerkamp (MPI), Ulrike Schückel (Senckenberg), Roi Martinez (AWI), Till Oehler (AWI), Markus Benninghoff (Uni HB)
This cruise visited different sedimentary domains in the German Bight. Ship based hydroacoustic mapping and sampling of the bed and water column was combined with autonomous lander deployments at selected domains.
The 15 days ship cruise with RV Heincke was from Oct 29 2013 to Nov 12 2013 to the German Bight. The main scientific topics of the cruise HE412 were biogeochemical and physical processes at the seafloor and the effect of different forcing conditions on exemplary sea bed environments. The cruise had a methodological focus on autonomous observatories: Shallow water sea floor landers with different instrumentation that were deployed at different environments. The bathymetry and sea floor structure of different areas were mapped with a ship based multibeam echo sounder (MBES) and parametric echo sounder (SES) and seafloor samples were taken for on board and later laboratory analyses. These include core incubations, and different geobiochemical and sedimentological analyses.
On board scientists and scientific interests cover the disciplines of marine microbiology, biology, geosciences. People from different German Marine research institutions (MARUM, AWI, MPI, HZG, SNG) and Universities (U Bremen, U Hamburg, U Oldenburg) co-operated in this cruise. A major part of the cruise originally had been dedicated to an assessment of the BMBF NOAH project representative sea floor areas in the whole German EEZ. However, strong westerly storm conditions restricted the geographical focus of the working areas mainly to the East of Helgoland Island.
