First line of the MCS cruise
The initial streamer deployment was a success, but the turning motion of the ship to start the first “line” of MCS data acquisition caused the streamer and acoustic source to dive too deep. This rapid downward trajectory set off the Streamer Rescue Device (SRD), but fortunately the MCS team and ship crew were able to replace the problematic SRD and quickly re-deploy the equipment.
The first line of data is now being collected, and the whole team is looking forward to doing some preliminary analysis and gradually creating a more complete subsurface profile of the study region. Photos and updates from Harm
