Multibeam near-bottom bathymetry from the Lucky Strike ridge segment along the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.  The bathymetry data were acquired during AUV Asterx and  ROV Victor6000 surveys during three different cruises (MOMARETO 2006, MOMAR'08-Leg1, & BATHYLUCK'09).  The dataset includes a central grid (LuckyStrike_microbathymetry_Centre) that combines data from several AUV and ROV dives, and where original bathymetry grids for each dive have been manually shifted and combined into a single grid, using other datasets (shipboard bathymetry, acoustic sonar data from the Lustre'96 data) for geographical reference. The rest of the grids are from individual ROV or AUV dives. All grids are provided in NETCDF GMT .grd format, and with two associated GEOTIFFS with both the bathymetry DEM and the hillside (illumination) file.  All grids are given in WGS84 (WGS 84 - WGS84 - EPSG:4326).

Near-bottom multibeam bathymetry and acoustic backscatter acquired at the Rainbow Massif  (Mid-Atlantic Ridge). High-resolution bathymetry data (2 m/pixel) were acquired by the autonomous  underwater vehicle (AUV) IdefX, deployed during the ARC-EN-SUB (https://doi.org/10.17600/18000663)  cruise in May 2022. The dataset consists of grids for each individual AUV dive, as well as a global grid merging the ten completed dives. This global grid was obtained by manually shifting and combining original bathymetric grids of each dive using other datasets (primarily shipboard bathymetry from Paulatto et al. [2015]) for geographical reference. The combined grid shows the inter-dive shift artefacts, absent in the individual dive grids. Elevation grids are provided for each AUV dive without interpolation (fillgap 0), with medium (fillgap 3) and high (fillgap 15) interpolation.Acoustic backscatter grids are edited without interpolation (fillgap 0). All grids are provided in NETCDF GMT .grd format, and with two associated GEOTIFFS with the bathymetry DEM, the acoustic backscatter, and the hillshade (illumination) file.  All grids are given in WGS84 (WGS 84 - WGS84 - EPSG:4326), in projection Mercator.

This dataset comprises multibeam bathymetry and very high resolution seismic data acquired over the Lansdowne Bank (New Caledonia, SW Pacific), during the SEDLAB cruise. The latter was a 29 day research cruise on the French national fleet ship R/V ALIS that took place in April and May 2018. The main aim was to characterise the sedimentary dynamics and the stratigraphic architecture of the Lansdowne Bank, a partly drowned, isolated rimmed carbonate platform of around 4000 km2 located offshore New Caledonia in the SW Pacific. More than 2000 km2 of new multibeam data, 7 single-channel SPARKER seismic profiles, along with 15 rock dredges and 8 sediment gravity cores were acquired on the bank top and adjacent slopes. These data reveal that the bank is typified by an almost continuous 4 km wide reef rim located in ca. 50 m water depth, showing typical “spurs and grooves” patterns. This outer rim surrounds a paleolagoon that gently deepens towards the inner platform, reaching up to 100 m water depth. Pinnacle reefs, up to 20 m high, are common close to the external reef rim, but are also scattered within the inner platform. Surprisingly, no obvious transfer axes across the reef rims, internal channels, tidal shoals or any clear current-related bedforms were imaged on the bank top. The bank is bordered by very steep slopes showing numerous bypass features such as canyons, channels and gullies. Additionally, spectacular bank margin collapses were identified. They are evidenced by up to 10 km wide intraslope and bank edge failure scarps, resulting in a scalloped geometry of the bank margin. Scarps are associated with km-sized blocks at the base-of-slope. Integration of all surface and subsurface data, together with post-cruise sedimentological, biostratigraphic and radiometric analyses on rock and sediment samples will hopefully bring new insight into the onset, aggradation and drowning history of the platform in relation to past sea-level changes and vertical tectonic movements. We believe that such results are relevant for the understanding of carbonate slope processes as well as platform-to-basin sediment budgets.

Gridded shipboard multibeam bathymetry and backscatter mosaics along the axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. The used data are part of the dataset acquired during the SMARTIES cruise (2019). The gridded datasets cover different portions of the axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge south of the Romanche transform fault.
