| Surficial sediments and detailed submarine morphology of the southern Strait of Dover have been mapped using different complementary techniques: side-scan sonar survey, bottom sediment sampling, and bathymetry. The geometry and regional pattern of sand bodies - sand waves, megaripples, sand ribbons, etc. - as well as current-meter data and eight radioactive tracing experiments in different settings, are presented and analyzed. The mean regional net sand transport is 0.2 m super(3)/linear metre/day. The strong tidal currents of the region studied are considered as the main factor responsible for sand transport, while the swell plays an important but local role in maintaining particulate matter in suspension. |

| Seamewe 1 cruise has been devoted to the survey of the projected track of a telecommunication cable between Djibouti and Suez. The data include seabeam bathymetric maps at various scales, mud penetrator, magnetic and gravimetric records along the track lines. Temperature measurements, Kullenberg cores, grab samples and sea-floor photographs were performed at several places. Sidescan sonar pictures were recorded in Suez Gulf and over Djibouti shelf. |
