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:
Summary of Field Work: The cruises for this project involve finding coastal phytoplankton blooms and then drifting with them for three days (i.e., Langrangian sampling). We will sample with round-the-clock CTD casts. We will also deploy drifting sediment traps and primary production arrays (stable 13C). Three cruises are requested: Gulf of Maine (Endeavor), Orgeon coast (Oceanus) and Sargasso Sea (Atlantic Explorer).
Summary of Facility Requirements: We will need CTD, A-frame for sediment trap and primary production array deployment, sufficient deck-space for incubators in a location that does not obstruct sunlight.
