Dates To Avoid: |
The slick sampling requires calm surface conditions (typical for summer and early fall). Undergraduate participation (one of our broader impacts) will greatly benefit from having the cruise scheduled outside of the regular course term. 2015 could also work, but is a bit late for the course of the project. |

| Justification/Comments: |
The Atlantis would be the ideal vessel for these operations, with either HOV Alvin or ROV Jason. If we use Jason, then another vessel capable of hosting Jason and Sentry (sufficient size with Dynamic Positioning) is acceptable.
There is some flexibility in the requested dates. Collecting surface slicks is an important complement to our deep ocean efforts, and requires calm conditions to find and sample the slicks (performed by RHIB using the coast guard method). |

| Ancil Facility Comments: |
Either ROV Jason or HOV Alvin are needed for guided sampling within hydrocarbon seep environments. AUV Sentry will be used for mapping and imaging dive targets and for dive planning. Multibeam will be used to image study areas and to identify gas plumes in the water column. Sediment will be collected by gravity coring (or equivalent). We expect to have collaborators using radioisotopes, and include the van request for completeness (though this could be cancelled in the scheduling process). |
