Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We request a 7-day cruise, starting and ending in Morehead City, NC, aboard the R/V Oceanus, with a preferred start date of 1 June 2011. We request a 16 May 2011 (+/- 2 week) start date for the cruise based on our experience with culturing deep-sea benthic foraminifera – early summer collection, as we propose, is best in terms of the annual cycle of growth and reproduction of these organisms. We request Morehead City (or Beaufort, NC) because it will be a big plus to be able to stage out of a UNOLS marine lab (e.g., the Duke University Marine Lab). We request R/V Oceanus because of its size, its deck layout, and the coring experience of its crew. However, we have worked successfully from R/V Cape Hatteras and R/V Endeavor in the past, and could do so for this project, if necessary. |
