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 (OSU, USC, RU): Continental shelf diagenesis II: The importance of increasing oceanic hypoxia to coastal iron supply and the ocean’s iron isotope composition. Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: James McManus, OSU_COAS Project Institution: OSU_COAS
Project ID: 102353 Version #: 5
Date Submitted: 2/8/2010 4:50:00 PM Created By: James McManus
Date Last Modified: 7/7/2010 12:36:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/CO - 1029889 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: We are requesting field work in the Northern Gulf of Mexico. We will be deploying benthic incubation landers and collecting cores.
Summary of Facility Requirements: We request participation OSU coring and dredging Facility for coring services.
Summary of other requirements and comments: We will need a refrigerated cold room or a working refrigerated laboratory van on board the ship. We will need a multi-core and a gravity core. We will also need a CTD, and rosette system.

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
No Interval:   # of Cruises:  

Description of Repeating cruise requirements:
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
We are looking for a ship that can handle all of our operations, and has a refrigerated cold room, or sufficient deck space to place a van on the deck and still have sufficient working room for coring operations, lander operations, and hydrocast operations. Generally speaking the intermediate size ships should work as will of course the Large.

In terms of dates we are seeking two cruises in successive years, one in spring and the other in summer. These can be exchanged.
Work Area for Cruise
Short Description of Op Area
for use in schedules:
Gulf of Mexico
Description of Op Area: Seafloor in the Northern Gulf of Mexico, from about 10 meters water depth to off the shelf in deep water. Area generally to the south of the Mississippi River, and west.
Op Area Size/Dia.: 600

We may need up to two vans if there is no refrigerated room. There other van would be for coring operations and/or lander operations.
