During the 2010 INDEX SATAL Expedition, Okeanos Explorer and the Indonesian Research Vessel Baruna Jaya IV focused on exploring “boxes.” This map summarizes operations conducted to systematically explore a priority “box” at different scales: the area was mapped with multibeam sonar to help identify features of interest; CTD/Rosette casts were conducted to look for evidence of active venting; and finally, ROV dives were made to examine features of interest at a fine scale.
