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: CAREER: Gulf of Maine Temperature Trends and Variability from the early Holocene to the Present Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Katherine A. Allen, Maine Project Institution: Maine
Project ID: 106174 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 6/15/2018 12:41:00 PM Created By: Katherine A. Allen
Date Last Modified: 5/6/2019 2:36:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/MGG - 1847742 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: At 12 sites in the Gulf of Maine: collection of sediment multi-cores, CTD/water column sampling, MOCNESS plankton tows. May aim to collect one gravity core in Jordan Basin (site #8) if radiocarbon dating reveals a temporal gap between existing multi and piston cores at that location (WHOI core repository).
Summary of Facility Requirements: Multi-corer, hydrocast (Niskin rosette, CTD), MOCNESS, appropriate winch/wire for all of the above. Possible gravity corer.

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements Science party includes PI, 4 collaborators, 5 students, 2 student-media/documentarians, 2 techs. PI Allen has experience with multi-coring, gravity coring, and hydrocasts (most recently: RV Armstrong cruise Fall 2017 with PI Lloyd Keigwin), but additional technical assistance is needed with winch operation and MOCNESS.
