ALPHA is an amphibious seismic investigation with the aim of studying the crustal structure of the Adriatic plate and its collision wit Eurasia on- and off-shore of Montenegro and Albania. In February 2012 we set up land profiles across Montenegro and northern Albania with 4.5 Hz Geophones and cube digitizers to record shots from the German research vessel Meteor on cruise M86/3.
