Ship Request

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 Information  
Project Title: TESTING MODELS OF MAGMA MOVEMENT ALONG THE EAST PACIFIC RISE USING COMBINED GEODETIC AND NUMERICAL EXPERIMENTS Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Marie-Helene Cormier, URI_GSO Project Institution: LDEO
Project ID: 100512 Version #: 3
Date Submitted: 3/1/2007 7:27:00 PM Created By: Marie-Helene Cormier
Date Last Modified: 2/10/2009 1:07:00 PM URI Serial #: 20040212130800IY
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/MGG - 0426575 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: 20 pressure sensors have been deployed in February-March 2007 and will be recovered in 2010. 3 science days were/are needed for each leg. The study area is a RIDGE2000 "integrated study site" and is frequently visited, so operations can be scheduled as piggy-backs to other surveys. A medium or large ship would be fine for this project.
Summary of Facility Requirements:  
Summary of other requirements and comments: The pickup cruise for the bottom pressure recorders (BPRs) put out in March 2007 (Cormier/Webb/Buck) would be best paired with Scott Nooner's geodetic work at the same location, which requires either Alvin or an ROV. Scott Nooner will be sailing this June on the R/V Atlantis and is supposed to have another leg in 2009 and a final leg in 2010. It would make sense to pick up the BPRs on that last leg. The acoustic releases on the BPRs will expire in about Jan. 2011. If it becomes impossible to schedule the BPR pickup and Scott Nooner's ROV work in that time frame, we will need to arrange a pickup leg for the BPRs independently of his work.
