This dataset contains geoscientific data logged during PACLARK 1 (FR02/86) cruise on RV Franklin 3-20 April 1986 in the Western Woodlark Basin, Papua New Guinea. These data include logged station coordinates and information for CTD/hydrocasts, dredges, sediment cores, bathymetric surveys and camera tows. Please see the associated cruise report for details. Cruise FR02/86 was undertaken to locate evidence of hydrothermal activity in the Western Woodlark Basin (east of Papua New Guinea, in the Solomon Sea) and to map submarine geology in an area of ocean ridge propagation into a continental margin. Survey methods included bathymetric profiling, magnetometer surveys, dredgers and gravity corers, a deep-tow camera system, and CTD casts with other associated instrumentation including a transmissometer. Numerous rock, sediment and water samples and some biological samples were collected for laboratory study. Related cruises are FR 01/88, FR 08/91, HMAS Cook - PACLARK III and RV Akademik Mstislav Keldysh and MIR submersibles - SUPACLARK.
