R/V KNORR CRUISE 
May-June 2001

The purpose of this study is to gain valuable knowledge on the properties of the Black Sea. The Black Sea is the worlds largest anoxic basin and provides much needed insight on the interface between oxic and anoxic water layers. The chemistry and biology of the Black Sea have been severely impacted by anthropogenic effects. It serves as a prototype example of how human impact can change the coastal ocean. 

There were two main objectives of this cruise.

The 1st Leg of the cruise started on 23 May 2001 and ended on 1 June 2001, the 2nd Leg  started on 1 June 2001 and ended on 6 June 2001. Field studies and measurements were performed at total of 25 stations in the western Black Sea.
