| Title | PAPATUA Expedition (PPTU) |
| Abstract | The primary objective of this cruise is to derive a geological model of the process by which seafloor spreading occurs in a back-arc basin, and to test the hypothesis that the opening of the basin has been controlled in part by the mechanism of rift propagation with the direction of propagation running from north to south. |
