Ship Request

STR Management has moved to MFP

The US Academic Research Fleet is moving to Marine Facilities Planning (MFP) for scheduling initially and eventually cruise planning.

For all NEW or RESUBMITTED Projects/Ship Time Requests, go to https://mfp.us and create a new SME. Some STRs for projects starting in 2022 and beyond have already been moved to Marine Facilities Planning (mfp.us). Check your MFP Science Portal for any projects that might already be moved. If you need to make edits to projects that begin in 2022 and beyond, please contact mfp@unols.org for assistance. Be sure to indicate the Project and STR IDs that you would like to edit. For more information on getting into MFP, see the More Information button below.

Summary of Field Work: Marine geophysics for the purpose of determining geologic framework, landslide hazards, sediment thickness, and crustal nature in support of delimiting the US extended continental shelf under provisions contained in Article 76 of the Convention on the Law of the Sea and better understanding offshore landslide hazards.
Summary of Facility Requirements: 2D multichannel seismic reflection with long offset streamer (8 km);, 25-meter groups; 60-liter (approx.) multi-element airgun array; sonobuoy refraction; OBS refraction; marine gravity; marine magnetics; 3.5 kHz sub-bottom; 12 kHz bathymetry; DGPS navigation
Summary of other requirements and comments: multibeam bathymetry, CHIRP subbottom profiling, gravity, and magnetics.
