Abstract - A summary of the methodologies, technical details and ship-board results of a swath bathymetry and geophysical survey in the Sea of Marmara is presented. During 20 days of work with R/V Urania high resolution morphobathymetric images, a dense grid of Subbottom and Side Scan Sonar profiles and cores were obtained.

Sommario - Vengono presentati le metodologie e l'insieme dei risultati ottenuti durante una campagna Multibeam, Subbottom e Campionamento nel Mare di Marmara Orientale. Durante 20 giorni di lavoro in zona sono state ottenute immagini batimetriche ad alta risolozione, un denso grigliato di linee SBP e Sismica Multicanale e 56 carote a gravita' e pistone..
