Abstract - We present the shipboard activities and results of Cruise MNG01_09 on R/V Urania (19-27 april 2009) on Southern Adriatic Sea. Morphobathymetric, geological and geophysical works were performed on the montenegrinian margins within the framework of international Projects ADRICOSM-STAR and MEDPOL. The cruise was scheduled to continue the systematic mapping of the montenegrinian shelf areas by Multibeam and CHIRP SBP, sample the seabottom by box-corer and gravity corer and acquire classic hydrological data on the water column. Most of the proposed work have been performed, and some results are presented hereinafter, alongwith tecnical details on procedures and instrumentation.

Sommario - Vengono presentate le attivita' ed i risultati preliminari della crociera MNG01_09 con R/V Urania (19-27 aprile 2009). Sono stati raccolti dati morfobatimetrici e SBP sul margine montenegrino e nalla baia di Cattaro, all'interno dei progetti internazionali ADRICOSM-STAR e MEDPOL. Di seguito vengono mostrati alcuni dei risultati ottenuti, assieme alle metodologie e alle strumentazioni impiegate.
