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: Collaborative Research: Imaging the Cascadia subduction zone: a ship-to-shore opportunity Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Helene D. Carton, LDEO Project Institution: LDEO
Project ID: 102978 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 7/12/2011 9:37:00 AM Created By: Helene D. Carton
Date Last Modified: 2/17/2012 8:34:00 AM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/EAR - EAR 1147622 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: This is an onshore-offshore add-on to program "Collaborative Research: Evolution and hydration of the Juan de Fuca crust and uppermost mantle: a plate-scale investigation from ridge to trench", by S. Carbotte and colleagues, planned for the summer of 2012. We are proposing to extend shooting (OBS component - no additional streamer operation) along the Washington margin transect by 52 km (to the shallowest water accessible), along the Oregon margin transect by 8 km, as well as shoot along 5 shorter lines on the shelf off Oregon totaling 440 km. Those shots will be recorded by the additional OBS's and land stations.
Summary of Facility Requirements: We require the R/V Langseth to operate in "2D" mode with the full airgun source array. We are requesting 6 short-period OBS's from the OBS Instrumentation Pool equipped with 3-component seismometers and hydrophone. We are requesting time on R/V Wecoma to carry out the deployment and recovery operations. We are requesting 48 USArray FlexArray short period instruments to record the airgun shots on land.

This is an add-on to Carbotte et al. two-ship MCS/OBS survey. We are proposing to deploy 6 additional OBS's from the OBSIP pool as well as 48 USArray FlexArray short period instruments in Oregon and Washington to record the airgun shots (from the initial program + additional shots this add-on).
