Faust Capel Basins Survey (GA-2436/ TAN0713) - Bathymetry grids

The remote Eastern frontiers project aimed to provide a geological and petroleum prospectivity assessement of the Faust Capel Basins. Funded through Australian Governement Initiatives (Energy Security Program).
The Faust Capel Basins survey GA-2436/ TAN0713 was acquired by Geoscience Australia onboard the RV Tangaroa (operated by NIWA) from the 6th of October to the 22nd of November 2007.
The geographic range stretched from Wellington to the Faust Capel Basins to Lord Howe Island and back to Wellington. Approximately 8,945 sailing km of multibeam bathymetry was acquired. The high resolution bathymetry data imaged seafloor features in unprecedented detail, revealing the effects of recent magmatic activity and fluid migration on the seafloor. It also produced a new image of a flat topped unexplored seamount. A member of the Lord Howe Rise seamount chain.

偏远东部边境项目（Remote Eastern Frontiers Project）旨在开展福斯特-开普盆地（Faust Capel Basins）的地质与石油勘探潜力评估。本项目由澳大利亚政府能源安全计划（Energy Security Program）资助。
针对福斯特-开普盆地的GA-2436/TAN0713号调查任务，由澳大利亚地球科学局（Geoscience Australia）依托新西兰国家水与大气研究所（NIWA）运营的“坦加罗阿号”科考船（RV Tangaroa），于2007年10月6日至11月22日期间完成。
本次调查的航行范围从惠灵顿（Wellington）出发，途经福斯特-开普盆地、豪勋爵岛（Lord Howe Island）后返回惠灵顿，累计获取约8945航行公里的多波束测深（multibeam bathymetry）数据。该高分辨率水深数据以空前精细的分辨率对海底地貌进行成像，揭示了近期岩浆活动与流体运移对海底造成的影响；同时还获取了一座此前未被探测的平顶海山的全新影像——该海山属于豪勋爵海隆（Lord Howe Rise）海山链的组成部分。
