| INDOPAC was a cooperative international expedition consisting of some 15 legs on THOMAS WASHINGTON. The expedition investigated the deep circulation of the waters, the nature of the crust beneath the sea floor in the marginal basins of the western Pacific Ocean in cooperation with CHIU LIEN, SAMUDERA, and ATLANTIS II. One of the most significant accomplishments of the cruise was the recovery of live benthic amphipods from 5700 meters in pressure retaining traps. This was the first successful attempt to recover and maintain live deep-sea benthic animals in the laboratory. Legs 4, 5 and 6 provided preliminary site surveys for the International Program of Ocean Drilling series of drill sites across the marginal basins of the Philippine Sea. |
