Ship Time Request Overview

STR Management has moved to MFP

The US Academic Research Fleet is moving to Marine Facilities Planning (MFP) for scheduling initially and eventually cruise planning.

For all NEW or RESUBMITTED Projects/Ship Time Requests, go to https://mfp.us and create a new SME. Some STRs for projects starting in 2022 and beyond have already been moved to Marine Facilities Planning (mfp.us). Check your MFP Science Portal for any projects that might already be moved. If you need to make edits to projects that begin in 2022 and beyond, please contact mfp@unols.org for assistance. Be sure to indicate the Project and STR IDs that you would like to edit. For more information on getting into MFP, see the More Information button below.

Project Description and Facility Requirements
Project Web Page: http://www.ecogig.org
Summary of Field Work: The goal of the ECOGIG program is to understand the impact and signatures of natural hydrocarbon seepage on the Gulf of Mexico's coupled benthic/water column ecosystem. We will also continue to track impacts of and recovery from the Macondo/BP Deepwater Horizon Blowout. To achieve the goals of our program, we will collect water column (using the CTD rosette/niskins) and sediment (multiple corer and deep gravity corer) samples and carry out bottom water geophysical/geochemical surveys using a deep-towed instrument sled (that we will provide). On each annual cruise, we will visit up to 8 sites in the North/North Central Gulf of Mexico.
Summary of Facility Requirements: For each cruise, we will need a CTD/rosette, MOCNESS, 0.322 EM wire for towing, ADCP, sufficient deck space for Multiple Core deployments/recoveries, a radioisotope isolation van, and if possible a cold van.
