Summary of Field Work: |
see previous UNOLS form referenced above. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Research Vessel plus combined Submersible/AUV. (Atlantis/Alvin/SENTRY preferred). |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
This is an update of my previous request and pertains to the second cruise related to the above project. Previously I requested the Jason, but after our success with the Alvin on the SEEPS 07 cruise, I would like to change my reqest to again use the Alvin for the SEEPS 09 cruise. Night operation will be performed from the Atlantis. I would also like to request AUV time, either ABE or SENTRY, which were not available when the proposal was written, but which we intend to outfit with a mass spectrometer to aid us in targetting seep locations. We would also like to request two additional days of dive time (from 10 to 12) to make up for loss of bottom time in switching from JASON to Alvin. |

Optimum Start Date:

Dates to Avoid: |
This is a combined research and teaching cruise and needs to be scheduled with the student course component in-mind. Early summer break is optimal, but during the spring is also an option (less desirable). |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
This is the 2nd installment of the SEEPS cruise series. The first cruise took place during July 2007, with the Atlantis and Alvin. This worked well for our scientific needs and we sould like to again use the Alvin for the second installment of the cruise.
NSF approved this cruise for 10 science days. We would like to request 2 additional days (thus the reason No is checked above) to make up for the loss of bottom time associated with the switch from Jason to Alvin.
This is part of a CAREER project and accomodating the student schedules is important for success of the educational component of the cruise. While early summer 2009 is optimal timing, thinkgs can be moved on my end with sufficient advance warning (eg, my teaching schedule needs to be changed etc...). |
