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 Title: Collaborative Research: Using thermocouple arrays to investigate temporal and spatial microbial colonization in actively forming hydrothermal vent deposits Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Margaret K. Tivey, WHOI Project Institution: WHOI
Project ID: 101226 Version #: 2
Date Submitted: 8/10/2007 1:27:00 PM Created By: Margaret K. Tivey
Date Last Modified: 7/22/2008 8:32:00 PM URI Serial #: 20070809141240DJ
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/BIO - 0751839 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Other equipment: ICL loop (4" loop)from Alvin or Jason to interrogate equipment.

We are requesting 8 dives (either 8 Alvin dives, or ROV days, to be piggy-backed on Anna-Louise Reysenbach's already funded program, Distribution and diversity of thermoacidophiles from deep-sea vents, (adding 1 to the science party), specifically to have 4 dives added to her dive time at the Guaymas Basin, and 4 added to her program at EITHER the Rainbow Vent Field OR the Kilo Moana Vent Field on the Eastern Lau Spreading Center (whichever is best based on timing). The dives we are requesting need to be at timed intervals, with dive #1 deploying instruments, then two days later a second dive, 4 days after that a third dive, and 20 days later (which may require our having 1 dive on the leg AFTER Reysenbach, with 2 added to their science party), the fourth and last dive which would recover all equipment (two thermocouple arrays, dataloggers, and a MAVs current meter). Four days of transit time is requested in case there is a need to transit back to the instrumented site for the last pick-up if we are on someone else's leg.
