Abstract

From the morning of October 28th to the evening of October 28th 2020, fieldwork was performed comprising retrieval of live siboglinid worms for genetic and environmental studies hereunder pore water content of sulphate, sulphide and methane and sediment TOC, TC and isotopes. The working area was a basin located in outer Kvalsund, Troms, northern Norway. A total of 2 box core stations and 2 gravity core stations were obtained and two CTD casts. Echosounding and chirp data were recorded on stations and on transits.

The cruise may be known as: CAGE20_WORM
