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: CAREER: Oxygen sensitivity of aerobic respiration and nitrification in oxygen minimum zones and biogeochemical feedbacks to deoxygenation Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: J. Michael Beman, UC Merced Project Institution: UC Merced
Project ID: 104920 Version #: 2
Date Submitted: 7/23/2015 2:05:00 AM Created By: J. Michael Beman
Date Last Modified: 3/28/2017 12:34:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/CO - 1555375 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Examination of aerobic respiration, ammonia oxidation, and nitrite oxidation in the oxygen minimum zone (OMZ) of the eastern tropical North Pacific (ETNP). This work will consist of two cruises to/from San Diegeo and Mexico transiting the ETNP. Stations follow previous work in the ETNP and are located within reasonable distance from shore. 3 days will be spent at each of seven stations, with 0.5-1.5 days transit between each station. Sampling will consist of CTD/rosette measurements/sampling followed by in situ and shipboard incubations. One cruise is requested for winter-spring 2017 and another for summer 2018
Summary of Facility Requirements: We will need a CTD/rosette and sufficient deck space for deployments/recoveries
