Summary of Field Work: |
This shiptime is required for installation and maintenance of our international observatory. We intend to deploy the ROV ROPOS and therefore need to install the deep water LARS system, and will need on the order of 25 berths between ROPOS and Scientific crew. Ideally the cruise would be Victoria-Victoria with ROPOS mobilized in Victoria.
Locations: NEPTUNE Canada footprint (Barkley Canyon, Endeavour Ridge, ODP 1027 and 889, Folger Passage) |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Request for this shiptime was expressed in general to UW during the Summer of 2009, and this specific request was communicated at the end of September 2009 to both UW and UNOLS. However we had not yet been given access to the system at that time. |
