Sparker seismic profiles (52 to 64) in the Ceuta canyon region

Seismic profiles were obtained with a Sparker system composed of a multitap SIG ELC820, and the source varied during the course of the cruise from Applied Acoustics CSP600 to CSP700. The GRACE cruise aimed to study the geological risks associated to the Ceuta Canyon and its adjacent areas onboard the R/V Belgica (RBINSOD Nature, Belgium). The GRACE cruise pursued two main objectives: to better understand the Ceuta Canyon, including its origins, influence of tectonic features, and chronostratigraphy of the deposits; and to study the potential hazardous geological and oceanographic processes occurring in the Ceuta Canyon and adjacent areas.
