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 Proposal: Acoustic Instrumentation for Imaging and Quantifying Hydrothermal Flow in NEPTUNE Canada Regional Cabled Observatory at
Main Endeavour Field, Juan de Fuca Ridge
Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Russ Light, UW_APL Project Institution: UW_APL
Project ID: 101397 Version #: 3
Date Submitted: 1/22/2008 8:11:00 PM Created By: Russ Light
Date Last Modified: 6/4/2010 12:36:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/OTIC - 0824612 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Test deployment/reovery of benthic tripod at VENUS cabled observatory at Saanich Inlet, BC
Deployment of benthic tripod by ROV to connect to the NEPTUNE Canada Regional Cabled Observatory at Main Endeavour Field, Juan de Fuca Ridge
Summary of Facility Requirements: (1) ship days of R/V THOMSON and ROV ROPOS
Summary of other requirements and comments: Currently our proposal budget includes the costs of (4) days of the R/V Tully and ROPOS but it is hoped that NSF and UNOLS will work out an agreement that will allow the bartering of UNOLS ship time (e.g. R/V Thompson) for the use of the Tully. In that case funds will be returned to NSF which will not be needed for the Tully. NEPTUNE Canada requires the use of the ROPOS ROV for instrument deployment and recovery.

Description of Repeating cruise requirements:
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
NEPTUNE CANADA/Mairi Best (Associate Director for Science) informed us that she has secured ~25 days (Sept 8th-Oct 3rd 2010) of the R/V Thompson for the Endeavor cruise. Her intent is to mobilize the ROPOS ROV onto the Thompson and dedicate the cruise to infrastructure and instrumentation, which includes the deployment of the COVIS instrument, at the Endeavor site.
