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 Information  
Project Title: Training Chief Scientists for the Ocean Research of Tomorrow Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Clare E. Reimers, OS Project Institution: OSU_COAS
Project ID: 102753 Version #: 3
Date Submitted: 1/6/2011 7:09:00 PM Created By: Clare E. Reimers
Date Last Modified: 2/24/2011 10:52:00 AM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/IPS - 1125396 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Multi-disciplinary cruises will be run in 2011 to teach groups of young scientists how to effectively plan for, acquire, utilize and report on time at sea for research and educational outreach. The cruise tracks and field work will depend on science objectives proposed by the participants who will apply to the training program 3-6 months prior to a cruise.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Intermediate General Purpose Research Vessel
Summary of other requirements and comments: A least 2 marine technicians per cruise and possibly a coring technician.

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
Yes Interval: 2 months # of Cruises: 2

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: There is no strict time interval requirement. The goal is to run two separate 7-day training cruises with different groups of students and different work plans.
Scheduling needs to be late enough in the year to allow an announcement and application process for the cruises to occur.
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
Each cruise needs to be long enough for all students to complete individual projects and be introduced to a variety of ship capabilities and situations. C. Reimers' familiarity with Wecoma and access to HMSC facilities will simplify the organization of the training workshop and cruise experience.
