Cruise Report Guidelines
Each team has to produce a Cruise Report. The Cruise Report
should report the activities carried out during the leg your team
was in (1.5 day), not during the entire cruise.
Since two teams participated in each leg there will be two similar
Cruise Reports produced per leg. Each team must do their report
independently of the other team that was on the same leg.
Each Cruise Report must contain at least these informations
(adapted from the NSERC instructions):
- Vessel used;
- Cruise start/end dates;
- Names of people aboard (crew and science personnel);
- A map showing the cruise ship tracks and all stations sampled

- Work accomplished;
- Problems encountered if any;
- Amount and type of data collected;
- At least one typical example of observations collected with the Biosonics echo-sounder;
- At least one typical example of observations collected with the towed ADCP;
- At least one typical example of observations collected with the sub-bottom sonar (Chirp);
- At least one typical example of observations collected with the sidescan sonar;
- At least one typical example of observations collected with the multibeam sonar;
- A figure showing the observations from all the CTD casts collected during your leg;
- All Secchi disk measurements collected during your leg;
- A few sample images of identified organisms collected with the plankton net;
- A figure showing the moored ADCP measurements;
- A figure showing the moored thermistor data;
- Plans for scientific analysis;
Oral Presentations Guidelines
On Monday 27 October (ideally) or Tuesday 28 October (to be determined in class Thursday 16 october)
each team will have 15 minutes to orally present the content of their Cruise Report.
As there will be two similar Cruise Reports per leg, there will be two similar oral
presentations per leg. Each member of your team must present orally for ~ 5 minutes.
