Abstract

The first marine geological charts to be drawn up were those of the English Channel and in the Atlantic. The cartographic method used for these charts is not, however, considered suitable for the Mediterranean in view of the geological differences between these seas. It is first proposed to describe surveys carried out in both the Channel and the Atlantic and then to outline the principles underlying our work that gradually became more clearly defined as the Mediterranean operations progressed.
