Title
  • Processed seismic data of Cruise BGR11 2011
  • Prozessierte seismische Daten der Fahrt BGR11 2011
Description
  • From 1st May to 25th May 2011 the French Institute from Brest Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer (IFREMER) together with BGR conducted a scientific cruise on the IFREMER research vessel L'ATALANTE, which constitutes the 1st leg of the MIRROR survey. In order to acquire supplementary marine geophysical research data to the MIRROR scientific survey a 2nd leg was performed from 2nd June to 11th June 2011. Both legs are spread over the shelf edge and slope of Morocco, the adjacent Essaouira Rise, and the easternmost abyssal plain, and are located between 33°30' N and 30°30' N. The region of MIRROR Leg 2 is situated south of Leg 1. The main research objectives were to image the deep structure of the crust, to test the origin of the magnetic anomaly S1, and to test rifting models in order to understand the nature of the continental margin of Morocco as well as the opening history of the Atlantic Ocean. Another objective was to realize a comprehensive sediment basin analysis for specifying the hydrocarbon potential of the region. In total multi-channel seismic lines with a length of 1,391 km and additional 271 km with the other geophysical methods (magnetic field measurements as well as bathymetry) were acquired. The seismic data acquired during Leg 2 were processed onboard and two of the lines were interpreted. Line BGR11-208 traverses from DSDP Site 415 to Site 416 and ties the MCS grids of both MIRROR legs as well as other former MSC surveys of BGR. Therefore, the line enables a reliable regional seismostratigraphic interpretation and a moderately well mapping of the Jurassic, Cretaceous, and Cenozoic sequences. Large compressional structures are present in the sedimentary cover along the seismic line pointing to transform faults or an activated fracture zone. Regarding the NWW-SEE trending line BGR11-202 the area of investigation can be subdivided into three structural units, a zone of rifted continental margin, a zone of initial seafloor spreading, and a zone of regular seafloor spreading as well as post-Cretaceous igneous activity. Huge rotated basement blocks are located under the shelf and uppermost slope and striking salt domes at the lowermost slope. The zone of initial seafloor spreading is characterized by a sub-basement reflector with overlying tilted basement blocks. The sub-basement reflector trends generally horizontal and appears to be a detachment fault. The magnetic slope anomaly S1 is located at foot of the slope near the western boundary of the zone of rifted continental margin.
  • In der Zeit vom 02.06. bis 11.06.2011 wurde ein Kooperationsprojekt zwischen dem französischen "Institut Français de Recherche pour l'Exploitation de la Mer" (IFREMER) und der deutschen BGR an Bord des FS L'Atalante durchgeführt. Untersuchungsgebiet war der Kontinenthang vor Marokko sowie das sich daran seewärts anschließende Essouira Vorgebirge im Bereich zwischen 33°30' N und 30°30' N. Hauptziel der Untersuchungen war der tiefere Bereich der Kruste, die Erkundung der geologischen Hintergründe der magnetischen S1-Anomalie, sowie ein tieferes Verständnis für den marokkanischen Kontinentrand und die Öffnungsgeschichte des zentralen Atlantiks. Es wurden insgesamt 1391 km Mehrkanalseismik akquiriert. Die Linien verbinden die Bohrlokationen DSDP site 415 und site 416. Küstenparallel zeigen die Daten ausgeprägte Kompressionsstrukturen. Senkrecht zur Küstenlinie kann das Untersuchungsgebiet in drei Gebiete geteilt werden: einen Bereich geklüfteter kontinentaler Kruste, einen Bereich mit initialer ozeanischer Kruste, und einen Bereich normaler ozeanischer Kruste in Verbindung mit kreidezeitlichen magmatischen Intrusionen. Im landseitigen Bereich finden sich mehrere rotierte Blöcke des Grundgebirges, die von ausgeprägten Salzstrukturen überlagert sind.
