The start of the team’s final week aboard the Langseth
The team had to recover the guns and streamers for a brief detour to Jacksonville, but the equipment was soon redeployed and ship operations were back to normal. The final stretches of data are now being collected, and we are hopeful that the end result provides a detailed picture of the margins of the Blake Plateau and the Carolina Trough.
Photos and updates from Susie and Anastasiia.

The science team has been meeting every few days to go over the seismic data, and this shot is of the meeting regarding processing and interpretation of line 1003.
