Summary
The Geological Survey of Norway, as a sub-contractor to the University of Bergen in the European Union's project COSTA (Continental Slope Stability; EVK3-CT-1999-00006), has performed a coring cruise with FF"Seisma" to the site of the 1996 slide in Finneidfjord. The main objective of the COSTA project is the assessment of continental slope stability along the European Continental Margin with respect to natural processes and human activity. The cruise was split in two 1th - 5th August and 7th - 8th September, due to technical breakdown of coring equipment. During the cruise, 26 stations were sampled and 21 vibra cores and 6 Niemistö cores retrieved. Keywords: Cruise report Sampling Vibracoring Marine geology Coring COSTA Slide Mass movement
