PI-Provided Vans - briefly describe
Instrumentation Comments: OSU Coring Facility and URI Subsurface Life Field Laboratory.

We will need support from the Oregon State University Coring Group funded through the Ship Facilities Program of NSF. From the OSU group, we will need large (4" diameter) piston corers, a multi-corer, a refrigerated core container, standard core supplies (core liners, storage tubes, etc.), standard sediment description instruments (microscope, etc.), a core cutter, and shipboard coring support from the OSU Coring Support Group. If this proposal is funded, Professor Nicklas Pisias, Director of the OSU Coring Group, will include the costs for this program in his budget submission to ship facilities. Our shipboard science party will be responsible for all analysis and processing of cores (including core cutting, labeling and curation) once each core is delivered to the catwalk.
We will also need deck space appropriate for the URI Subsurface Life Laboratory (standard UNOLS lab container).
Ancil Facilities Requested: OSU Coring Facility (MARSSAM)
