Summary of Field Work: |
Year 1 - AUV photo surveys of seamounts in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands and Emperor Seamounts. Depth Range 300-600m
Year 2 - ROV or submersible surveys of seamounts in the northwestern Hawaiian Islands and Emperor Seamounts. Sampling of deep-sea megafauna. Depth Range 300-600m |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Year 1 - We request the Sentry AUV or the Nereus HROV. We also request a ship capable of launch/recovery of Sentry AUV or Nereus HROV. It is critical to have ship's multibeam system that can acquire backscatter data. RV Thompson is first choice if it has backscatter capable multibeam. Total request for vehicle and ship time is 39 days including transits between stations but not including transit to/from port.
Year 2 - Request the ROV JasonII, Nereus in ROV mode, or Alvin. We also request a support ship capable of launch/recovery of Jason II ROV, Nereus, or Alvin. Backscatter is not required for this cruise. Total request for vehicle and ship time is 34 days including transits between stations but not including transit to/from port. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
Any ship large enough to deploy the Jason II ROV would be fine for this request. Or of course the Atlantis if we use the Alvin instead. |

 Important Info on Foreign Research Clearances
|
|
Are you or any member in your science party bringing in any science equipment items which are regulated for export by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)?
|
No |
If yes, have you applied for the necessary permits through your export control office?
|
No |
| Questions about ITAR/EAR regulations?

Comments about foreign clearance requirements or
description of any other special permitting requirements

Requested Start Port |
Intermediate Port(s) |
Requested End Port |
|
Midway Island, US Pacific Islands, USA |
None |
Honolulu, HI, USA |
Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
Midway is the closest port, Honolulu can also be used but requires longer transit. We prefer to end in Honolulu to facilitate shipping of frozen samples and cruise supplies. |

|
Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
We request a CTD with oxygen sensor and rosette. The primary purpose would be to get water column 14C profiles along with CTD and oxygen data.
We will also require a -80 freezer for preservation of genetic samples at sea.

|
Explain Major Ancillary Facilities
Requirements and list description
and provider for "other" systems. |
Require Jason II, Nereus in ROV mode, or Alvin with appropriate support ship. Key requirement for vehicle is ability to take samples of deep-sea corals.
Pisces IV/V with KOK support ship based in Honolulu would also work very well for this project and has been used for sampling in same areas, depths, and species successfully. |
