First 48h joint survey in the 🇧🇪 North Sea: #USV Gobelijn mapped sub-bottom on 10m grids; #RVSimonStevin took vibrocores + sparker seismic. Teamwork! Part of projects #ClayTectonics & #LOTE. #OceanRobots #agentschapMDK #Bluecluster #ugent #owiLab @uniofbradford.bsky.social @vubrussel.bsky.social

🌧️ Day 3 - No sailing today aboard the #RVSimonStevin for the MARCO-BOLO team due to weather, but the #ROV got some harbour testing in!

Prepping for more data collection once conditions improve.
