Notes

Credit
The scientific party thanks the Master, officers and crew of RV Franklin for their usual expert and unstinting support of our activities during what was an exceptionally busy cruise. Untiring assistance from the onboard ORV staff during operations was also critical to our success. The Vessel Manager at CSIRO Marine Research, Hobart, provided invaluable help before and during the cruise. We thank the ORV National Facility Steering Committee which awarded us ship time for this research, and the PNG Marine Scientific Research Subcommittee for approving our operations in their territorial waters. Our selection of targets was greatly facilitated by unpublished bathymetric data provided by the RAN Hydrographic Service, Wollongong, and by previous Franklin echosounder records provided by the Data Centre at CSIRO Marine Research. Colleagues at CSIRO Exploration and Mining, Sydney, helped with logistic preparations. Operational costs of the expedition were funded chiefly from the CSIRO appropriation and by the P2+ consortium of mining companies that supports our research on modern hydrothermal activity and its applications to land-based exploration. Participation of non-CSIRO scientists was supported by the Centre for Ore Deposit and Exploration Studies (University of Tasmania), the Australian National University (Australian Research Council grant to R.J. Arculus), the Korean Ocean Research and Development Institute, the University of Lisbon, the University of New South Wales, AusAID (grant for CSIRO-Indonesia collaboration), the Geological Survey of Papua New Guinea (grant from the World Bank), and Macquarie University.
