Multichannel seismic (MCS) reflection survey was conducted on northern Kyushu-Palau Ridge during the KH-16-6 Leg 2 cruise. Obtained data will provide indispensable information to understand the geological structure in the surveyed area, and contribute to the future development of the IODP (International Ocean Discovery Program) proposal as the site survey data for the proposal.
