CONCLUDING REMARKS AND FUTURE WORKS

Main targets of MARM11cruise have been reached. A schematic list of first results is indicated.

• Geophysical data

  First results highlighted the high-resolution of the Multibeam, Chirp, Sparker and Side Scan Sonar systems on board of Urania that fitted perfectly the requirement of accuracy in mapping the subtle trace of active faults in the Gulf of Saros.

• Sampling of the seabed The seabed have been sampled by ISMAR gravity corers and turkish Water/sediment corers, that were also used for preserving the uppermost veneers of sediment and overlying waters.

• ROV survey we launched the ROV on the gulf of Saros  just few m of the NAF, on areas potentially interesting for gas and fluid emissions.

Analysis of the data collected during the expedition is under process, and will continue during the forthcoming several months.

No problems were encountered regarding neither the people nor the environment during the cruise.
