Expeditions
We have a strong background in designing and organising sea-going expeditions and participated in numerous national & international cruises to the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian Oceans, and to the Mediterranean Sea, North Sea and Gulf of Mexico.
Sediment cores (retrieved by MeBo, gravity, piston, box and multicorer,) and underwater video footage (obtained by ROV, submarine) collected during these cruises are essential to conduct palaeoceanographic and cold-water coral ecosystem studies.
