Funding Agencies: |
NSF/OPP/ANT - 1542962 - Funded |
|
Summary of Field Work: |
We propose to add a coring component to an already funded cruise aboard the NB Palmer. The cruise will take place along a section at approximately 170°W in the SW Pacific sector of the Southern Ocean. Lead PIs for the funded cruise are Rebecca Robinson (Univ. Rhode Island) and Mark Brzezinski (Univ. California Santa Barbara). |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We request the marine sediment coring facility operated by NSF Polar Programs; specifically, we request the jumbo piston coring system and the equipment to collect 10-foot gravity cores. This request has been discussed with Tim McGovern at NSF. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We request two additional days of ship time be added to the schedule of the funded cruise to allow for core collection. |
