Downward-looking Seafloor Photomosaics (GEOTIFF format) Derived from Near-bottom Digital Images Acquired with ROV Jason II during the Melville expedition MGLN07MV (2006)

This data set was acquired with a Insite Scorpio Digital Camera on the ROV Jason II during Melville expedition MGLN07MV conducted in 2006 (Chief Scientist: Dr. Charles Fisher; Investigator(s): Dr. Stacy Kim and Kamille Hammerstrom). These data files are of GeoTIFF (Raster) format and include Photomosaic data and were processed after data collection. Data were acquired as part of the project(s): Collaborative Research: Site evaluations and background studies of interactions among fluid chemistry, physiology, and community ecology for Ridge 2000 Lau Basin Integrated Studies and Bacterial population structure: evaluating gene flow in the symbionts of deep-sea mussels, and funding was provided by NSF grant(s): OCE02-40896, OCE02-40982, OCE02-40985, OCE02-41 250, and OCE04-53901.
