Summary of Field Work: |
The main focus of the project is to examine microbial activity and biomass in surface waters of Delaware coastal waters, the Delaware Bay and estuary, and the Chesapeake Bay. Other standard biogeochemical properties will also be examined in order to understand the variation in microbial growth rates, biomass, and community structure. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The work requires a small ship with a CTD rosette, surface mapping capabilities for surface salinity and temperature (minimum), and deck incubators. Vans are required also for radioactive and general chemical work. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
We wish to sample in spring and fall of 2014 (Year two of the project). The goal is to do a transect of the Delaware Bay over four days during spring and fall.
We then will do a three day diel experiment at the mouth of the bay
Each cruise should seven days. So, the total request is for 7 X 2 = 14 days per each year
of the project. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
The Sharp is an obvious choice for work in the Delaware Bay and for anyone based at the Lewes campus of the University of Delaware, home base of the Sharp. It is also the ideal size of ship for this work in estuaries and coastal waters.
We are flexible about the exact dates. Our main goal is to have two cruises in times that differ greatly in biological activity. |

Short Description of Op Area

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
The science party size, which is the largest comfortable one for the Sharp, would provide
enough people to do both the microbiological and oceanographic work proposed here |

requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
The radioactive work will be with 3H and 14C.
We also request use of the general chemical van. This van has proven to be very useful for carrying out some of our analyses which cannot be done in the wet or dry labs.
