Summary of Field Work: |
Multibeam mapping of areas north of the Chukchi Cap (Nautilus Basin), southern and northern sides of Alpha/Mendeleev Ridge into Makarov Basin. Mapping will be in collaboration with Canadian icebreaker Louis S. St. Laurent. If conditions permit we will meet Swedish Icebreaker ODEN (working for Denmark) with Russian icebreaker for sampling program on Lomonosov Ridge. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
HEALY, multibeam, coring and dredging, possibly WHOI ROV and/or Navy AUV |

Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
Multibeam is essential. ROV may require dynamic positioning. Dredging and coring will be backup to ROV sampling. Seismic is Knudsen chirp subbottom.
