Summary of Field Work: |
We propose one cruise that will take place approximately 16 months into the project (~January 2013). The cruise will include 12 dives with DSV Alvin or ROV Jason, to allow time for a total of 5 deployments of the VENT-TSSID to measure in situ carbon fixation and nitrate reduction rates as well as ancillary sampling collection at the 9°46’N to 9°53’N segment of the East Pacific Rise (EPR). In particular, we propose to focus our efforts on studying ‘Crab Spa’, a diffuse flow vent site (T: 20-30°C) that has been used by Co-PI Sievert and colleagues as a model system to gain insights into chemoautotrophic processes and has been frequently sampled over the last several years (01/2007; 01/2008; 10/2008; 5/2010). This vent site has been very well characterized, both geochemically as well as microbiologically. |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
we are proposing to use HOV Alvin or ROV Jason. For Alvin we would need Atlantis, for Jason similar ship |
