Abstract

The cruise to the Atlantic-Arctic gateway region is organized and funded through the Geological Survey of Norway (NGU) and focuses on studies of methane leakage at the seafloor on the Mid Norwegian shelf and continental margin. Cruise 20200108 in June 2020 was directed to two areas to study ongoing seepage of hydrocarbons and their controlling factors. Along the Lofoten margin, to investigate the outcropping bedrock structures in two canyons; on the Mid-Norwegian shelf, to inspect a recently discovered seep site.

The cruise may be known as: CAGE20_0
