Photomosaics (GEOTIFF format) Derived from Near-bottom Digital Images acquired with ROV Jason II at two Diffuse Hydrothermal Vent Fields 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. Charles Fisher and Elizabeth Podowski). These georeferenced photomosaics are of GeoTIFF (Raster) format. 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.
