A start-up meeting to review all aspects of the OSCAR project was held on 3 September 2014 at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton. This was the first assembly of the whole project team since the start of the project, and included:
– introductions to PIs and research groups,
– an overview of the background and history of the project,
– a review of the hypotheses and questions driving the scientific objectives, and
– an outline of the expedition plans for oceanographic and seismic data acquisition.
