Summary of Field Work: |
This proposal
focuses on post-drilling activities that will be achieved using a non-IODP ship and ROV for establishing
and serving CORKed observatories. More specifically we propose two field seasons to:
- Recover short-term microbial and geochemical samplers that will be deployed on the
wellheads of three CORKed boreholes that will be drilled and established during Exp. 336;
- Download data from physical sensors and collect fluids from the different subseafloor
hydrologic horizons;
- Deploy sensors and samplers during the first cruise (Yr1) and recover them during the
second cruise (Yr2);
- Deploy new sensors and samplers during the Yr2 that will operate for additional years;
- Conduct a microbial and geochemical analytical program;
- Use multi-disciplinary data to document the evolution of borehole conditions |

Optimum Start Date:
|
3/28/2014 |
Dates to Avoid: |
The Merian has been scheduled already, so our flexibility is minimal. That said, these dates, like with the UNOLs system, are still subject to change.
I am not sure of how long the mobilization and demobilization will take for Jason on Merian, so this is not accounted for in our time estimate - only the transit and science. |

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year) |
Yes |
Interval: |
12 mo |
# of Cruises: |

|
|
Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
The science and length of cruise are anticipated to be the same. The ship is anticipated to be the merian again, but the german research council only funds on an annual cycle. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
water depth on site 4500 meters requires Jason. |

Short Description of Op Area
for use in schedules: |
22°N MAR |
| Description of Op Area: |
CORK servicing of IODP installations, to be in place 2011 (Fall); fluid sampling, well-head installations. Shallow sediment coring, heat flow measurements, outcrop (basalt) sampling. |
| Op Area Size/Dia.: |
