The Cruise Summary Report for Heincke 208 has been submitted to the international database held at the BSH Hamburg, Germany, according to the DOD standards. For your information I have also enclosed station list as well as a cruise track and high resolution maps showing our sampling in Norwegian waters. The samples are currently being processed. Oceanographic data (CTD casts) are available upon request. Thank you very much for your cooperation, Sincerely, Prof. Dr. Antje Boetius Stiftung Alfred-Wegener- Institut für Polar- und Meeresforschung Mitglied der Hermann von Helmholtz- Gemeinschaft Deutscher Forschungszentren e.v.

CRUISE PERIOD start 09/05/2005 to 21/05/2004 end (set sail) day/ month/ year day/ month/ year (return to port) PORT OF DEPARTURE (enter name and country) Bremerhaven, Germany PORT OF RETURN (enter name and country) Bremerhaven, Germany RESPONSIBLE LABORATORY enter name and address of the laboratory responsible for coodinating the scientific planning of the cruise Name: Alfred-Wegener-Institut für Polar- und Meeresforsc Address: Columbusstr Country: D Bremerhaven CHIEF SCIENTIST(S) enter name and laboratory of the person(s) in charge of the scientific work (chief of mission) during the cruise. Prof. Antje Boetius, MPI/AWI OBJECTIVES AND BRIEF NARRATIVE OF CRUISE enter sufficient information about the purpose and nature of the cruise so as to provide the context in which the report data were collected. This cruise contributed to the EU-Project (METROL - METhane fluxes in ocean margin sediments: microbiological and geochemical control). The scientific work is part of the collaboration between MPI, AWI and the Universities Cardiff and Bristol. In the framework of this project the question is addressed how methane turnover is controlled in shallow gassy sediments. Objectives of this cruise are A) The quantification of the microbial turnover of methane in gassy sediments as well as the characterisation of the geochemical conditions for the anaerobic methane oxidation and its temporal and regional variation; B) Quantification of the flux of methane into the water column and its dispersal and consumption C) the characterisation and identification of microorganisms involved in the methane oxidation in aerobic and anaerobic sediment layers and in the water column. As part of these investigations, characteristic organic molecules are to be identified which can be used as biomarkers for the anaerobic methane oxidation. Station work focusses on areas already intensively studied in earlier years by Hovland & Judd (1988). Geographical information comes from the British Geological Survey and from Statoil. PROJECT (IF APPLICABLE) if the cruise is designated as part of a larger scale cooperative project (or expedition), then enter the name of the project, and of organisation responsible for co-ordinating the project. Project name: METROL Coordinating body: EU

3 Page 2 PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATORS: Enter the name and address of the Principal Investigators responsible for the data collected on the cruise and who may be contacted for further information about the data. (The letter assigned below against each Principal Investigator is used on pages 2 and 3, under the column heading PI, to identify the data sets for which he/she is responsible) A. Antje Boetius, MPI, D Bremen B. Ed Hornibrook, University Bristol, UK C. John Parkes, University Cardiff, UK D. Gerd Wendt, Uni Rostock, D Rostock E. F. MOORINGS, BOTTOM MOUNTED GEAR AND DRIFTING SYSTEMS This section should be used for reporting moorings, bottom mounted gear and drifting systems (both surface and deep) deployed and/or recovered during the cruise. Separate entries should be made for each location (only deployment positions need be given for drifting systems). This section may also be used to report data collected at fixed locations which are returned to routinely in order to construct long time series. APPROXIMATE POSITION PI See top LATITUDE LONGITUDE of page. deg min N/S deg min E/W DATA TYPE enter code(s) from list on cover page. DESCRIPTION Identify, as appropriate, the nature of the instrumentation the parameters (to b measured, the number of instruments and their depths, whether deployed and/ recovered, dates of deployments and/or recovery, and any identifiers given to t site. Please continue on separate sheet if necessa

4 Page 3 SUMMARY OF MEASUREMENTS AND SAMPLES TAKEN Except for the data already described on page 2 under Moorings, Bottom Mounted Gear and Drifting Systems, this section should include a summary of all data collected on the cruis whether they be measurements (e.g. temperature, salinity values) or samples (e.g. cores, net hauls). Separate entries should be made for each distinct and coherent set of measurements or samples. Different modes of data collection (e.g. vertical profiles as opposed to underway measurements) should be clearly distinguished, as should measurements/sampling techniques that imply distinctly different accuracy s or spatial/temporal resolutions. Thus, for example, separate entries would be created for i) BT drops, ii) water bottle stations, iii) CTD casts, iv) towed CTD, v) towed undulating CTD profiler, vi) surface water intake measurements, etc. Each data set entry should start on a new line it s description may extend over several lines if necessary. NO, UNITS : for each data set, enter the estimated amount of data collected expressed in terms of the number of stations ; miles of track; days of recording; cores taken; net hauls ; balloon ascents ; or whatever unit is most appropriate to the data. The amount should be entered under NO and the counting unit should be identified in plain text under UNITS. PI see page 2 NO see above UNITS see above DATA TYPE Enter code(s) from list on cover page A, B 18 CTD statio H09 H10 DESCRIPTION Identify, as appropriate, the nature of the data and of the instrumentation/sampling gear and list the paramete measured. Include any supplementary information that may be appropriate, e. g. vertical or horizontal profile depth horizons, continuous recording or discrete samples, etc. For samples taken for later analysis on shore, indication should be given of the type of analysis planned, i.e. the purpose for which the samples were taken.

Insert a tick(a) in this box if a track chart is supplied GENERAL OCEAN AREA(S): Enter the names of the oceans and/or seas in which data were collected during the cruise please use commonly recognised names (see, for example, International Hydrographic Bureau Special Publication No. 23, Limits of Oceans and Seas ). Northern North Sea SPECIFIC AREAS: If the cruise activities were concentrated in a specific area(s) of an ocean or sea, then enter a description of the area(s). Such descriptions may include references to local geographic areas, to sea floor features, or to geographic coordinates. Please insert here the number of each square in which data were collected from the below given chart 216, 252 see above THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION Please send your completed report without delay to the collating centre indicated on the cover page
