RV SONNE 241 Cruise Report / Fahrtbericht, Manzanillo, 23.6.2015 – Guayaquil, 24.7.2015 : SO241 - MAKS: Magmatism induced carbon escape from marine sediments as a climate driver – Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California

During RV Sonne Expedition SO241, heat flow data were collected in the Guaymas Basin, Gulf of California, to characterize the thermal structure of a sediment-filled rift basin affected by active magmatic intrusions. Heat flow observations were supported by the acquisition of approximately 1100 km of 2D seismic reflection data to identify features such as sills and bottom-simulating reflectors. Additional thermal observations were made at multiple seep sites and at a newly discovered hydrothermal mound using coring tools, fluid sampling equipment, and visual surveys.
