Summary of Field Work: |
Sea going work involves use of Alvin for rock collection and sea floor observations, and Sentry for sea floor mapping on the R/V Atlantis. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
In addition to HOV Alvin, we will require ship's multibeam system and AUV Sentry for seafloor mapping. We will bring WHOI Towcam for seafloor photography. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Note that this project was originally planned for Spring 2014 using R/V Knorr and ROV Jason.
Please note the weather window of February through May to avoid hurricane season and also North Atlantic winter storm season. |
