Summary of Field Work: |
1) Setting up a series of in-situ incubations at methane seeps off Southern California
2) Sample Collection including sediments and microbial mats, as well as long-term deployments. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
HOV or ROV, with preference for HOV. Need to perform fine scale manipulations at sea floor associated with in-situ stable isotope probing incubations. Require collection of incubations at sea floor and rapid return to the overlying vessel for processing and experimentation. Max depth to be ~ 900m for incubations. We also require a radiation van on the host vessel. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
The requirments for the proposed maniputlations at the sea floor are best matched with Alvin's capabilities. These include fine scale manipulation for gas injections, as well as rapid return to the host vessel after sample collection is complete. |

Optimum Start Date:
|
7/15/2013 |
Dates to Avoid: |
Cruise will double as a UCSB course as a Broader Impact criteria, and these are optimal dates for the capstone cruise. Also, this time window provides optimal weather for submarine deployment success in these waters. |

|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Cruise will double as a UCSB course as a Broader Impact criteria, and these are optimal dates for the capstone cruise to enable participation by ~ 15 students. Also, this time window provides optimal weather for submarine deployment and recovery success in these waters. |
