Abstract
THE experiments described here were carried out in October 1971 on MV Researcher during a cruise in the eastern Mediterranean with personnel from the Department of Geodesy and Geophysics, University of Cambridge. Figure 1 shows the location of reflection surveys G and H, planned as a detailed study of the south-western boundary of the alleged Turkish plate, which is drawn by McKenzie as an arc around the south side of Turkey1,2. Two short refraction lines X and Y were placed in Famagusta Bay and Morphou Bay respectively to trace the extent of the rock formations already distinguished by seismic methods on land4.
