Summary of Field Work: |
The goal of the ECOGIG program is to understand the impact and signatures of natural hydrocarbon seepage on the Gulf of Mexico's coupled benthic/water column ecosystem. We will also continue to track impacts of and recovery from the Macondo/BP Deepwater Horizon Blowout. To achieve the goals of our program, we will collect water column (using the CTD rosette/niskins) and sediment (multiple corer and deep gravity corer) samples and carry out bottom water geophysical/geochemical surveys using a deep-towed instrument sled (that we will provide). On each annual cruise, we will visit up to 8 sites in the North/North Central Gulf of Mexico. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
For each cruise, we will need a CTD/rosette, MOCNESS, 0.322 EM wire for towing, ADCP, sufficient deck space for Multiple Core deployments/recoveries, a radioisotope isolation van, and if possible a cold van. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
Our science party includes members of the ECOGIG mooring/sediment trap and lander/seafloor monitoring teams. Also, on the spring cruise, scientistis from the Univ. of Mississippi will join the cruise to help deploy the landers. |

Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
N/A -- on the spring cruise, we will bring along the UM "i-SPIDER" team for the first leg (6 days). Our moorings are deployed on a fixed schedule so mooring turn-around cruises must be scheduled in late March and late September.
