Scientific Purpose/Goals: high-resolution MCS survey of the continental slope NE of the Hudson canyon. This area is unique along the Atlantic slope in having many landslides and hardly any submarine canyons. The cruise aimed to characterize and tie shelf, slope and rise stratigraphy together. It was also a test cruise for the new MCS streamer purchased by the center
