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 Title: EAGER: Chief Scientist Training Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Kenneth Coale, MLML Project Institution: MLML
Project ID: 104213 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 1/28/2014 2:13:00 PM Created By: Jonathan M. Prince

Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/IPS - 1432962 - Funded
NAVY/ONR/OAS - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: A series of UNOLS Chief Scientist Training Cruises to provide opportunities for teaching early career marine scientists how to effectively plan for, acquire, utilize and report on, time at sea for multi-disciplinary research projects and education. These cruises will also offer new investigators opportunities to test preliminary or unfamiliar research methods, work collaboratively, with others and acquire samples and experience critical for developing future oceanographic programs for both research and education. The plan is to run three short cruises and a series of day cruises. This approach will allow for a large number of participants, but will also provide opportunities for several participants to lead a cruise.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Research Vessel POINT SUR and the associated shared use instrumentation and equipment such as the CTD system, multi-core, nets, etc. Actual equipment requirements to be determined by participants.
Summary of other requirements and comments: 2 days prior to each cruise for instruction and mobilization.
Ship time total is 12 days, with 4 days each requested from NSF, ONR and MLML/CSU
