Tech/Engineering - Geology / Geological survey report
English term or phrase: экспедиция
В 1961-62г.г. на соляном куполе Акжар проводилась структурно-геологическая съемка Эмбенской нефтепоисковой экспедицией. В советское время так назывались геологические партии... я не уверена, можно ли так и перевести - expedition?

Explanation:
далее по тексту идет crew как современный термин.
- geological survey team or crew...

Недаром же далее следует фраза "В советское время так назывались геологические партии...", объясняющая "странное" употребление этого слова.

Акцент здесь - на ином для англоязычных значении этого заимствованного слова в РУССКОМ языке, и более ничего, а не на самом "crew". Обычно в таких текстах пишут: ekspeditsia in Russian.

И, сглашусь, "экспедиция" остается у нас в широком употреблении наряду с "партией".
