Abstract:

A summary of the ship-board activities of a Reflection Seismic, magnetics and coring survey on the offshore SW Portugal is presented. The survey used R/V Urania  of CNR for 35 days, inclusive of transits from Livorno and to Napoli. Along with a description of technical details of the equipment employed, we discuss problems regarding data acquisition and quality, as well as presenting some initial results.
