GSRPMN12020 MarBiol UGent 2021

Sampling data captured in Oceanic Exploration Research For the reporting year 2020, GSR focused on following key aspects of exploration and development; • The offshore testing of the tracked pre‐prototype nodule collection vehicle called PATANIA II; • The continuation of our baseline study with further analyses of the 2017 biological samples; • The collection by the JPI‐O MiningImpact 2 consortium of samples and deep-sea data within the framework of the deep-sea mining test; • The elaboration and preparation of a new offshore campaign. Initially, it was planned for 2020, but COVID19 forced a delay to Spring 2021.本数据集为2020报告年度海洋勘探研究中采集的采样数据，GSR聚焦于勘探与开发的以下核心方向： • 代号为PATANIA II的履带式预原型结核采集车海上测试 • 延续基线研究，对2017年采集的生物样本开展进一步分析 • JPI-O MiningImpact 2联合研究组在深海采矿试验框架内采集样本与深海数据 • 拟订并筹备全新海上勘探作业：原计划于2020年启动，受新冠疫情（COVID-19）影响，该作业推迟至2021年春季开展
