1997 Seismic Data, Antarctica

Korean Antarctic survey carried out as part of step 2 project in year 1 of ‘The Antarctic Undersea Geological Survey’ in 1997 was conducted in a continental shelf in the northwestern part of the Antarctic Peninsula. The research period took a total of 8 days, including 6 days for the seismic survey and 2 days for the drilling investigation. We took on lease Norway R/V 'Polar Duke' and 10 researchers from ‘Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute’ participated as field investigation personnel. The Teac single-channel recorder, EPC Recorder, Q/C MicroMax system etc. was used mainly by Sleeve gun used as a sound source, compressor for creating compressed air, DFS-V Recorder for multi-channel Seismic record, 12 –channel geophone of seismic streamers. Additional Gravity Core was used for sediment research through drilling.
