Summary of Field Work: |
This is a REU student cruise around the Hawaiian Islands. Due to its duration of 2-3 days we will map unexplored areas in the vicinity, collect underway geophysical data such as magnetics, gravity, sub-bottom reflections (3.5 kHz), and daily XBTs for sound velocity control. Dredging for rock samples. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Multibeam sonar, towed magnetometer, gravimeter, sub-bottom profiler (e.g., 3.5. kHz). sound velocity profilers (Expendable Bathymetric
Thermographs (XBT's)). |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
This is a student cruise for a REU site program at SOEST. We wish to take ~10 undergraduates on a short cruise to introduce them to ocean-going science. We prefer the cruise to take place as early as possible during their visit (June-July). If the Kilo Moana is not available then the Ka`imikai-O-Kanaloa could be a substitute. |
