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.

  C-MORE  -  2016  -  Kilo Moana  
  Project Information  
Project Title: Center for Microbial Oceanography: Research and Education Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: David Karl, UH_SOEST Project Institution: UH_SOEST
Project ID: 104741 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 2/10/2015 2:16:00 PM Created By: David Karl
Date Last Modified: 2/10/2015 2:16:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/BIO/EF - EF-0424599 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: All field work will be conducted at Station ALOHA 22 45' N, 158 W where previous C-MORE work has been conducted. For this expedition, we will be conducting CTD casts, in situ experiments using drifters and floats, testing of new sampling module for long-range autonomous underwater vehicle (MiVegas project), recovery of autonomous Seaglider, and recovery of long-term sediment trap mooring. This will be the final field phase of the 10-year C-MORE project.
Summary of Facility Requirements: We request use of the R/V Kilo Moana to accomplish our goals. This will provide an adequate platform to support the 20+ person scientific party that we expect to participate in this final expedition. The Kilo Moana has been used previously for most C-MORE field operations so we are familiar with its capabilities and their crew is familiar with our needs and operations.

Description of Repeating cruise requirements:
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
We need to conduct this expedition in the first half of the calendar year due to the timing of in situ experiments, the need for equipment testing, and to complete the fieldwork prior to the termination of the C-MORE project.
