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.

  Project Information  
Project Title: Collaborative Research: Elucidating conduit, eruption and pyroclast transport dynamics of large silicic submarine eruptions Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Bruce houghton, UH_SOEST Project Institution: UH_SOEST
Project ID: 104037 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 8/8/2013 2:34:00 PM Created By: Samuel A. Soule
Date Last Modified: 7/1/2014 6:44:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/MGG - 1357443 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: We will conduct seafloor mapping and sampling at the summit of Havre Volcano in the Kermadec Arc using the AUV Sentry, ROV Jason, and gravity corer. Sentry and Jason will run in tandem and conduct detailed surveys and sampling guided by recent bathymetric differencing maps that delineate the locations of newly deposited material. We will conduct operations at the Havre summit for 14 days and coring for 3 days.
Summary of Facility Requirements: We require the use of NDSF ROV Jason and AUV Sentry as well as gravity cores provided by the WHOI pool. Due to the size of the science party required to operate Jason and Sentry as well as stand watches and process samples during 24-hr Jason operations, we require a global class vessel with berthing for up to 29.
