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.

GEOLOGY PROSPECTION OF THE SEA FLOOR
This survey has been projected in the frame of La Restinga Volcano monitoring. After a wide number of surveys conducted by R/V Ramon Margalef during the volcano crissis (from october 2011 to february 2012) the aim this time is to compleate a bathymetric surver again in order to find out possible changes in geomorphology, Sound velocity profiles will be carried out in order to obtain the best accuracy on the data adquired.
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).
