Acoustic echo-sounding and core samples collected from the research vessel Alis in the South Pacific Ocean from 2015-08-27 to 2015-09-10 (NCEI Accession 0234167)

This dataset contains description of measurements taken by acoustic echo-sounder and core sampler from the research vessel Alis in the South Pacific Ocean. The oceanographic campaign SAMOA-SPT (South Pacific Tsunami) on board R/V Alis (IRD research vessel of the IRD, Nouméa, New Caledonia) has allowed the recognition of the acoustic (multibeam bathymetry and imagery), seismic (high resolution seismic) and sedimentary (interface and Kullenberg piston coring) characteristics of the backwash-related submarine tsunami and storm (tropical cyclone) deposits. This is US State Department Marine Scientific Research (MSR) Research Application Tracking System (RATS) U2015-021. Cruise report is in PDF.
