EK60 Water Column Sonar Data Collected During EX1905L2
Okeanos Explorer (EX1905L2): New England and Canada (ROV and
Mapping) (EK60). This 21-day expedition leg will start in Halifax, Nova Scotia,
on August 26, 2019, and end in North Kingstown, Rhode Island, on September 15,
2019. The expedition will include 24-hour-a-day operations, including daytime
ROV dives to depths ranging between 250-3,000 meters (~820-9,843 feet),
overnight mapping operations to depths of 5,000 meters (16,404 feet), as well as
continuous shore-side participation via telepresence technology. ROV dives will
focus on exploring submarine canyons and slope habitats, seamounts, deep-sea
coral and sponge communities, midwater habitats, unique geological features, and
other poorly known deep-sea habitats. Mapping operations will concentrate on
seafloor and water column areas with little or no high-quality sonar data, as
well as being used to support ROV operations and identify potential maritime
heritage sites. Data collected on this expedition will support the development
of habitat suitability models and geohazard models and enhance our understanding
of poorly explored deepwater areas offshore of the U.S. Mid-Atlantic, New
England, and Nova Scotia.
