Since the foundation of the Department of Geosciences (FB5) at the University of Bremen in 1986, R/V Meteor Cruise M6/6 was the first joint expedition to carry out geologic and geophysical research, namely in the South Atlantic, Ocean, a later Bremen Focus Research Area. Besides the paper recording of the Parsound sediment echosounder data, physical properties measurements were carried out onboard on many of the recovered sediment cores.
