  Gorda Ridge Seismic Event 2001: Cruise report USCG Ship Healy  
 

 
 

Chief Scientist (Peter Michael) report:

No significant thermal anomalies from hydrothermal plumes were in the area. Several dredges were collected to recover rocks from the seafloor, but they were all clearly old. The entire segment was resurveyed with multibeam sonar to compare with bathymetry collected before the earthquake swarm. In summary, Healy also found no evidence for eruption of lava onto the seafloor..
