This cruise is the last scheduled within the DFG Special Priority Program 1144 to the major study site at 5° to 11°S, on the southern Mid-Atlantic Ridge (MAR). Work will focus on the first two of the 6 core cross-disciplinary questions the SPP 1144 was conceived around: • How does the energy and mass transfer from the mantle into the ocean take place? • What are the time scales on which processes at spreading axes occur?
