Abstract - A summary of methodologies, technical details and ship-board results of a swath bathymetry, geophysical and geological survey in the Marsili Basin with R/V Universitatis is presented.

During the survey, detailed, full coverage bathymetry, SBP reflection seismic, magnetometric, gravimetric lines, bottom and water sampling were carried out in the Area.

Sommario - Vengono presentati le metodologie e l'insieme dei risultati ottenuti durante una campagna di rilievi batimetrici e geofisici nella zona del Bacino del Vulcano Sommerso Marsili con la R/V Universitatis . Sono stati effettuati rilievi batimetrici, magnetometrici e gravimetrici di dettaglio, assieme a linee Chirp e a campionamenti della colonna d'acqua e del fondo mare.
