Summary of Field Work: |
The goal of this proposal is to install an instrument string in the IODP borehole observatory offshore of Vancouver Island that already has an active ACORK observatory. We will also install a wider array of seafloor geodetic instruments. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Global class ship capable of supporting either the Jason or ROPOS ROV team. Either the Jason or ROPOS ROV would be necessary to install the instruments. We have been working with the JASON ROV team in anticipation of a cruise in fall 2015 but had to delay the cruise till the weather window in 2016 due to delays in our construction of the instrument package. |

|
Optimum Start Date:
|
7/1/2016 |
Dates to Avoid: |
Work will be offshore of Vancouver Island with an ROV, so the optimal weather window is ~July-September.
It may be possible to combine our cruise with a NEPTUNE Canada cruise to the same region/node location. |
