|
Summary of Field Work: |
The Co-Pis propose to coordinate the use of R/V Marcus Langseth to acquire a 600 sq. km 3D seismic volume encompassing the 3 IODP Expedition 313 drillsites on the inner-middle shelf of the New Jersey (NJ) continental margin. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
4 streamers, each 3 km in length, spread 75 m apart, towed at 4.5 m water depths, 150 m offset between 80 sail lines each 50 km in length; 2 linear airgun arrays shooting in alternate 'flip-flop' mode; standard UKOOA navigation standards and shipboard QA/QC of system performance to evaluate extent of need for in-fill shooting |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
Following the recommendation of the ML Langseth community workshop report (Tahoe, Mar2010) the Co-PIs request up to 12 berths be reserved for 'scientists in training' to sail on part or all of the cruise to stand watch, participate in the operation of a complex research cruise, and take part in onboard instruction led by the Co-PIs on geology and geophysics related to the collection, processing and interpretation of 3D MCS data. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
only UNOLS vessel capable of 3D MCS that is the purpose of the cruise; high-resolution requires shallow (4.5 m or less) tow depths and that requires optimal sea state, hence fair weather |
