Summary of Field Work: |
We are requesting seven (7) days of time with ROV Jason and R/V Atlantis for the testing and deployment of two seafloor camera systems that measure fluid flow in mid-ocean ridge systems. We will be deploying the camera systems for short tests, recovering them, and then deploying them again for a longer test period, up to several weeks. We will be recovering both instruments at the end of our time at the vent field in question.
Our first choice for the location of the deployment is Axial Volcano. The recent eruption makes this a particularly interesting location for our work. Additionally, new bathymetry data and photomosaics collected at Axial as part of the OOI program will greatly aid our ability to plan our fieldwork effort.
Although Axial is our first choice, we are flexible as far as where we would like to deploy these instruments. We only require that the sites have well-characterized venting and have both focused and diffuse flow in close proximity. Potential alternate locations include 9-50N on EPR, Main Endeavor Field, and Lucky Strike or TAG on the MAR. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We need the ROV Jason and a ship that can launch and recover this vehicle. We also need an elevator for the deployment of one of the camera systems. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Ideally we would be paired with other science parties so the number of days on site is longer than 7 days. We could use 4 days nearer to the beginning of the cruise and the rest near the end to maximize the length of instrument testing.
The work area below (Axial) is simply our first choice. As mentioned above, we can accomplish this work at any seafloor vent field with both high-temperature focused flow and diffuse venting in close proximity. |
