Study of the edge of Spanish Platform on the Canary Islands Basin.
In this cruise the mooring lines deployed in April 2012 have been recovered. In addition communication between acoustic receivers and a deck unit has been tested. This is part of the international program OTN ("Ocean Tracking Network," in Spanish "Red de Seguimiento Oceánico"). This work is preparatory for the deployment of a curtain listening across the Strait of Gibraltar.
Hydrograpich survey. Antartctic cruise CTM2009-06256-E CTM2009-08287-E
They focus on the seabed research of Mediterranean sea (Spain ), both indirect and direct. Carry out a survey of the fishing beaches to later elaborate fishing charts. Systematic bathymetric survey of the study areas with 100% coating (Multi-beam echo sounder EM-300). seismic profiles according to the ship's defeat (Topas 710 system). Performance of sound velocity profiles in the water column. Side sweep sonar in selected areas. Sediment sampling (Shipeck dredges - Box corer). Sampling of Rocky Outcrops (Rock Dredge).
Calibration of Multi-beam echo sounder( EM-300 ) and single channel seismic reflection (TOPAS).

Monitoring the conservation status of vulnerable ecosystems of the MPA of “El Cachucho”, including identification and mapping of habitats and characterization of benthic communities
The campaign targets under TASIFE 0414, to carry on board the research vessel Angeles Alvariño, are the set up and maintenance of equipment deep underwater photography TASIFE 2013. Specific objectives focus on the investigation of benthic Banks areas of 'Reserva Marina de La Palma' and 'ZEC Franja Marina Teno-Rasca (Tenerife)' by direct and visual methods. Specifically: · Extensive visual videogrammetry HD with sled towed "NEXUS". · Recognition with multibeam bathymetric probe.
GEOLOGY PROSPECTION OF THE SEA FLOOR
The objective of the NUREIEVA-3D campaign is the acquisition of a high-resolution 3D seismic cube of the submarine extension of the Portmán Bay mining spill deposit, in the vicinity of Cartagena, Murcia province, in order to establish the geometry and three-dimensional internal structure of said reservoir. To carry out the campaign, it will be necessary to install, test and deploy from the ship a complete 3D seismic system that will be provided by the subcontracted company GeoSurveys
