Arctic University of Norway, arranged an educational cruise to the northern Svalbard Margin/Yermak
Plateau (Figure 1) for the courses GEO-3144 and GEO-8144 (Marine geology and geophysics cruise).
The main aim of the cruise was to introduce the students to work at sea, which included acquisition of
marine geological data (acoustic data and sediment cores) and lab analyses of split gravity cores. The
students worked 12-hour shifts during the cruise

The cruise may be known as: IG19-3_AMGG
