MAREANO's first cruise to the Arctic Mid-Ocean Ridge — 2025007011 Cruise Report

Abstract

The 2025007011 cruise report provides an overview of the activities completed during MAREANO’s first cruise to the Arctic Mid Ocean Ridge (AMOR) in September and October 2025. The work done on this cruise required an adjustment of methodology to fit the needs of working in deep and heterogeneous environments that is common on AMOR. This report records the activities performed on the cruise, detailed descriptions of the new methods used, preliminary analyses of the data with a first look at the habitats and geological setting present in the surveyed region, and recommendations for future MAREANO cruises in the area.
