MC800 multicorer w/ MISO camera/telemetry
| A real-time camera coupled to a multicorer system can be used in a variety of sedimentary settings where spatially restricted habitats occur. Examples of these habitats include hydrocarbon seeps, mud volcanoes, sediment-covered hydrothermal vents such as Guaymas Basin, the zone where the chemocline impinges the seafloor in silled basins such as the Cariaco Basin, Black Sea, Deep Hypersaline Anoxic Basins (DHABs) and Jords such as Saanich Inlet. |

MISO Facility - deep-sea imaging
| The intent of establishing the Multidisciplinary Instrumentation in Support of Oceanography (MISO) Facility at WHOI is to provide an adequate pool of commonly used and essential digital imaging equipment and associated sensors and acoustic transponders for various experiments and programs in the ocean sciences that would benefit from having easy access to certain types of oceanographic sensors and tools. The approach is to ensure that adequate technical support is available to maintain the equipment pool and mobilize/demobilize it when needed by scientists and provide operational expertise for use of the equipment. |

Proposal Abstract
The ocean covers 70% of the earth and plays a key role in regulating our climate, weather, and atmosphere. Plankton form the base of the ocean food web and are controlled by physical, chemical, and biological interactions operating across a broad range of scales from the individual organism to the ocean basin. Traditional sampling with nets and bottles is limited in time and space and destroys fragile forms, which are dominant components of oceanic communities. Prior support from the Dalio Explorer Fund allowed us to conduct unprecedented multi-scale high-resolution sampling of plankton and environmental variables during the M/V Alucia’s transit from Honolulu to P |
