Full description

This dataset contains geoscientific data logged during PACMANUS 1 / PACLARK 5 cruise (FR08/91) on RV Franklin 24 September to 14 October 1991 in Western Woodlark Basin and Eastern Manus Basin, Papua New Guinea. These data include logged station coordinates and information for sediment grabs and cores, CTD/hydrocast operations and samples, camera/video tows and footage, bathymetric surveys and geological and fauna samples. Cruise FR08/91 was an outstanding success and achieved all major objectives, significantly expanding geological knowledge of two key areas of sea floor comparable with the environments of ancient "volcanogenic massive sulfide" (VMS) orebodies. Highlights were the discovery of a new active hydrothermal field ("PACMANUS") forming sulfide deposits associated with dacite in the eastern Manus Basin, and the acquisition of cored sections through low temperature Fe-Mn-Si oxide deposits on Franklin Seamount, a basaltic andesite volcano in the western Woodark Basin. Operations comprised a total of 30 rock dredges, 18 gravity cores, 13 camera-video tows, and 14 CTD-hydrocasts was conducted in the two areas in addition to 12 kHz echosounding. Total distance covered was 2479 nautical miles, of which 360 miles was between stations in the 2 areas of operations and the remainder was in transit.

Notes

Credit
The National Facility Steering Committee ORV for the opportunity to undertake this cruise, and the Master, officers and crew of RV FRANKLIN for unstinting support and assistance during shipboard operations. Special appreciation is extended to Professor H. Sakai (Yamagata University, Japan) and colleagues for generously providing data from the 1990 AQUARIUS Cruise to guide planning for the PACMANUS leg, to Professor John Sinton (University of Hawaii, USA) for unpublished data on rocks collected on the 1985-86 cruise of RV Moana Wave, and to Dr Keith Crook (ANU, Canberra) for advice on the tectonic and sedimentological setting of the eastern Manus Basin. Activities in the western Woodlark Basin benefited from unpublished research by previous PACLARK participants. For travel and logistic expenses - Papua New Guinea
