Summary of Field Work: |
Will conduct a series of deckboard experiments using trace-metal clean waters collected from he Eastern Boundary Upwelling System (EBUS) of the California Current System off California (and possibly Oregon) at two (2) or more locations; tentatively picked as Point Reyes, CA and Big Sur, CA. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Require vessel capable of housing a trace-metal clean working lab (fabricated onsite), a radioisotope van, plenty of deck space for incubators, & running surface seawater. A-frame for CTD-rosette needed and a crane suitable for deploying a seawater pumping system interfaced with a towfish to be operated outside the vessel wash while underway. This has been successfully on AGOR-class vessels during ECOHAB-PNW cruises (2004-2006) in the PNW |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
As mentioned above, the AGOR class I vessels (R/V Melville, Thompson, Atlantis) all very suitable for the research proposed. |
