The focus of this project is the East Lau Spreading Center, a 390 km-long first-order ridge segment in the Lau backarc basin. This spreading center has been selected to be an integrated studies site by the Ridge 2000 program. This project will provide nested sidescan and hydrothermal surveys of the spreading center using a hull-mounted bathymetric and side-scan system, a 30 kHz sonar, and a 120 kHz sonar. The goal is to provide information on the spatial and temporal variations in crustal architecture, detect hydrothermal plumes and map variations in hydrothermal characteristics.

该项目的重点是East Lau扩展中心，这是LAU Backarc盆地长390公里长的一阶山脊部分。 Ridge 2000计划已选择该扩展中心作为综合研究地点。 该项目将使用船体安装的测深和侧扫系统，30 kHz的声纳和120 kHz声纳，为扩展中心的嵌套侧扫和水热调查提供。 目的是提供有关地壳结构中空间和时间变化的信息，检测水热羽并绘制水热特征的变化。
