Processed multichannel seismic data offshore the Costa Rica margin, acquired during the R/V Maurice Ewing survey EW0104 (2001)

This 2001 Ewing cruise was part of a multidisciplinary investigation of the thermal state of the subducting lithosphere offshore of the Costa Rica margin. Its companion cruise, Ticoflux II, was on board the R/V Melville in 2002. The goals were to determine the comparative thermal state of the subducting lithosphere in these regions, the associated heat and fluid fluxes responsible for the subducting slab thermal states, and how these variable affect subduction zone processes, including chemical flux rates.

2001年的Ewing巡航作为对哥斯达黎加海缘海底地壳热状态的多学科调查的一部分，于2002年在R/V Melville号船上进行了其伴随巡航——Ticoflux II。此次巡航的目标在于确定这些区域海底地壳的热状态比较，以及与海底地壳热状态相关的热量和流体通量，并探究这些变量如何影响俯冲带过程，包括化学通量速率。该项目由美国国家科学基金会（NSF）资助，资助编号为OCE00-01892、OCD00-01944、OCE00-02031。
