To acquire high resolution deep-tow data along the rift valley floor of the Carlsberg Ridge and Andaman backrc spreading center. The data acquisition involves multibeam mapping, underway geophysical data such as magnetics, and acquisition of CTD data, collection of water coulumn samples and seabed samples. These studies are aimed at imaging the seafloor at high resolution to characterize the rift valley floor in terms of magmatic activity and to explore for the plume signature in the water column using CTD and MAPR data. Water samples are collected to identify the chemical and biological signatures.
