Downward-Looking Seafloor Photomosaics (GEOTIFF format) Derived from Near-bottom Digital Images Acquired with ROV Jason II in the Lau Back-arc Basin during the Melville expedition TUIM07MV (2005)

This data set was acquired with a Insite Scorpio Digital Camera on the ROV Jason II during Melville expedition TUIM07MV conducted in 2005 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Charles Fisher; Investigator(s): Dr. Stacy Kim and Kamille Hammerstrom). These georeferenced photomosaics are of GeoTIFF (Raster) format and include Photomosaic data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Site evaluations and background studies of interactions among fluid chemistry, physiology, and community ecology and Venture Deep Ocean, Lau Basin Expedition 5 of 5, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE02-40896, OCE02-40982, OCE02-40985, and OCE02-41250.
