In situ profiles were measured using a free-fall CPT probe from Marum, Bremen (Stegmann et al. 2006a, 2006b) deployed from the ARARAT platform. The apparatus derives undrained shear strength from the measured resistance of the cone and the sleeve of the probe (Stegmann et al. 2006b). Configuration of the CPT length was adapted to thicknesses of seismic stratigraphic units, and varied between 2 and 6 m. For a more detailed information on CPT testing and processing, refer to Steiner et al. (2012) and Steiner (2013).
