Multi-channel seismic field data collected by a ferry boat, the Mozorola, and a barge, the Morrito #2, in Lake Nicaragua (May 6-24, 2006) and Lake Managua (May 26-31, 2006)

Principal investigators chartered a ferry boat, the Mozorola, and a barge, the Morrito #2, to conduct this survey of Lake Nicaragua (May 6-24, 2006) and Lake Managua (May 26-31, 2006) (respectively). The objectives were to test deformation models related to oblique subduction and to investigate the longer term geologic history of the Nicaragua depression. The research team collected high-resolution seismic data, 3.5 kHz subbottom profiles, sidescan data, and cores.

主要研究者们租用了渡轮莫佐罗拉号以及驳船莫里托2号，以对尼加拉瓜湖（2006年5月6日至24日）和马那瓜湖（2006年5月26日至31日）进行此次调查。研究目标在于验证与斜向俯冲相关的变形模型，并探究尼加拉瓜凹陷地区的长期地质历史。研究团队收集了高分辨率地震数据、3.5千赫兹海底剖面数据、侧扫声纳数据和岩芯样本。
