摘要

        IFREMER is a French institute that undertakes research to advance knowledge on the oceans, monitor the marine environment and help the sustainable development of maritime activities. For this IFREMER designs and implements tools for observation and monitoring. It also operates many of the French oceanographic vessels, as well as underwater systems and ocean instruments and manages oceanographic databases.

        Since 2008 Ifremer has conducted and participated in several research cruises in the Caribbean region, in the scope of the “Law of the Sea” project, e.g. the Antiplac cruise in 2008, or as research projects, e.g. the Antithesis cruises in 2013 and 2015. Main focus of the research projects were in the Lesser Antilles region, where several deep seismic cruises were conducted and offshore Haiti, with a seismological recording of the aftershocks of the 2010 Haiti (Mg 7.0) earthquake. For the future, several follow-up projects are being prepared, both in the Lesser Antilles subduction zone, with a 3D wide-angle seismic data acquisition followed by coring of fluid extrusion sites, and offshore Haïti, combining a deep seismic experiment with a study of fluid behaviour in the main faults. The results of these cruises will be the base for the iODP drilling proposition Haïti-Drill. This presentation will give a description of the Ifremer institute, show a summary of the most important results from past cruises in the Caribbean region and expose the future projects.
