Expedition NA012 in the Black Sea explored the transitional zone between the oxic and anoxic water layers along the paleoshoreline at ∼155 m depth. This expedition conducted comprehensive side-scan sonar survey grids at depths from 100- 400 m off Eregli and Sinop, Turkey to document acoustic changes in sediments across the oxic/anoxic boundary. Additionally, the team collected sediment cores from the oxic, suboxic, and anoxic layers, and identified anomalies logged as targets on the sonar.
