Yunus, 28th November 2020
The objective of this cruise was to the final recovery, from Imrali Basin of an instrumented frame deployed during a previous Istanbul University RV Yunus-S cruise, Nov 19-20, 2019. Because of COVID-19 restrictions, the cruise, initially planned in May 2020 was delayed until November The frame was successfully recovered but instruments were out of battery power. Learn more...

Yunus, 19th and 20th November 2019
Recovery, servicing and fourth deployment of the BPR instrumented frame with RV Yunus-S. The BPR frame was equipped with a bottom pressure recorder and a recording current meter with oxygen probes. Both devices provided time series for the whole deployment period, but the salinity probe was faulty. Data include a record of the Sept 26, 2019 M5.8 Silivri earthquake and of a turbidity current triggered by this event. Learn more...

Yunus, 8th and 9th May 2019
Recovery, servicing and third deployment of the BPR instrumented frame with RV Yunus-S. The bottom pressure recorder provided 6 months of data but the recording current meter (RCM) experienced a battery failure after just one month. A new oxygen probe was refit on RCM in addition to the salinity, pressure and temperature probes. Learn more...

Yunus, 12th and 13th November 2018
| Recovery, servicing and second deployment of the BPR instrumented frame with RV Yunus-S. The bottom pressure recorder provided 6 months of data but the recording current meter (RCM) had failed because of a leak on the oxygen optode. The RCM was repaired and redeployed with salinity, pressure and temperature probes. Learn more...

Yunus, 29th and 30th January 2018
During this cruise of RV Yunus-S, a last acoustic ranging data set was downloaded. Only 3 of the transponders responded and their batteries were almost exhausted. Two of the IUEM transponders were retrieved from the seafloor. The other 8 transponders will be recovered with an ROV. The first of a series of deployments of the BPR instrumented frame was also done. The BPR frame was equipped with a bottom pressure recorder and a recording current meter with salinity, pressure, temperature and salinity probes. Learn more...

Yunus, 4th and 5th May 2017
| The objective of the cruise was to download data from the sea-bottom acoustic ranging beacons in the Kumburgaz Basin, Marmara Sea that were installed during Marsitecruise in Oct-Nov 2014. This cruise was organized by the Technical University of Istanbul (ITU) using Istanbul University RV Yunus-S. 9 out of 10 beacons responded and transmitted one more year of data. In May 2017, the stations had been recording for 2 years and 4 months. Learn more...

In April 2015, a second set of acoustic ranging data, spanning a period of 6 months, was downloaded from the seafloor transponders using a modem from the sea surface. All 10 beacons responded and data was retrieved successfully. Learn more...

MARSITE cruise, 29th October 2014 to 16th November of 2014
The cruise objective was to better understand the behaviour of the submerged section of the North Anatolian fault in the Marmara Sea. 10 acoustic ranging beacons provided by IUEM (Brest, France) and GEOMAR (Kiel, Germany) were deployed on the seabed to measure displacements across the Main Marmara Fault south of Istanbul. The ROV VICTOR-6000 was deployed for sampling (interstitial waters, gas, brines) and in situ measurements aiming to understand the processes of fluid migration along faults. Lastly, an acoustic bubble detector (BOB), two ocean-bottom seismometers and an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) were deployed by the ROV, to study the natural methane degassing phenomenon at the sea floor. The third part of the cruise was to acquire sediment cores, recover these instruments. A first set of acoustic ranging data, acquired by the seafloor beacons for the duration of the cruise, was downloaded at the end through an acoustic modem for control. Learn more...

MARMESONET LE SUROIT, 2009
| The MARMESONET cruise of RV Le Suroît was part of the Marmara Demonstration Mission Program supported by ESONET Network of Excellence (European Seafloor Observatory Network), within the 6th European Framework Program. Main partners were: Ifremer, CNRS/CEREGE, Istanbul Technical University, TUBITAK, Institute of Marine Science and Technology of Dokuz Eylül Universitesi (Izmir), INGV (Rom) and ISMAR (Bologna). Marmesonet was also the follow-on of the Franco-Turk collaborative program that resulted in numerous cruises in the Sea of Marmara since 2000. Learn more...

MARNAUT, 2007
| MARNAUT was a cruise of RV L'Atalante with manned submersible Nautile. Its objectives were centered on the relationships between active faults, fluid emissions, and landslides. MARNAUT was also a step toward the development of permanent seafloor observatories on the North Anatolian Fault in the Sea of Marmara, within the European framework of the ESONET Network of Excellence. MARNAUT involved French institutions (CNRS/INSU, Ifremer and College de France), Turkish partner institutions (ITU, Istanbul Technical University and MTA, Maden Tetkikve Arama, Ankara), SIO (Scripps Institution of Oceanography, San Diego, USA), ISMAR (Istituto di Scienze Marine, Bologna, Italy), Berlin Free University, and Geomar (Germany).
