Summary of Field Work: |
To assess the structure and function of iron-oxidizing bacteria (FeOB) through the sampling of microbial mats at known hydrothermal vent sites. Our plan is to conduct field sampling at NW Eifuku along the northern Mariana Arc in year 1 and then Loihi Seamount (Hawaii) in year 2. We will conduct our targeted sampling with ROV Jason 2 and accomplish high resolution mapping of these vent sites using AUV Sentry. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
ROV Jason 2
AUV Sentry
Hydrographic winch
EM 300 |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We will require -80oC ultrafreezer space on board ship. This will be extra important for the first year cruise as dry ice shipping is NOT possible from Guam and samples will have to remain on board and be shipped from an alternative port of opportunity at a later date. |

Dates to Avoid: |
After May the likelihood of typhoon season significantly increases! We definitely don't want to wait till summer due to this weather issue. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Another vessel that can carry Jason 2 along with at least 26 scientists plus ~10 members of Jason team would also be acceptable. Possibility is good that this cruise will be extended a few days by NOAA, we are excited about the prospect of having our NOAA colleagues involved with this cruise to the Mariana Arc/Backarc. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
This is for science party only, Jason Technicians would also have to be accommodated. |
|
 Dynamic Positioning |  ADCP | Multibeam | Seismic |
| Dredging/Coring/Large Dia. Trawl Wire | Stern A-frame | Fiber Optic (.681) | 0.680 Coax Wire |
| SCUBA Diving | Radioisotope use - briefly describe | NO Radioisotope use/Natural level work | Other Operator Provided Inst. - Describe |
| 0 PI-Provided Vans - briefly describe | MOCNESS | | |
|
Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
Need to be able to accommodate Jason-2 and Sentry, which includes need for subsurface positioning network.
|
|
|
|
Explain Major Ancillary Facilities
Requirements and list description
and provider for "other" systems. |
We plan to use both ROV Jason 2 and AUV Sentry, with Jason accomplishing our sampling and Sentry doing the high resolution mapping. The "science days required" listed above are ROV dive days on station, so port and transit days would have to be added. |
