Summary of Field Work: |
the proposal is to map, sample and document the geology and microbiology of the hydrothermal vent systems present within the caldera of Brothers volcano in the Kermadec arc. We propose 16 days of ROV time to collect rocks, mineralized samples, microbiology, push cores, as well as carry out geophysical transects for conductive heat flux, microbathymetry and magnetics. An IODP proposal to drill Brothers volcano has been forwarded for scheduling with the most likely timeframe being 2018. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The project requires a ship with ROV capability including USBL navigation and dynamic positioning. The ROV needs to operate within an active hydrothermal vent field and caldera of an underwater volcano ca. 2000m depth range. We require 18 days on station (including 2 days contingency) with two transit days from New Zealand. We are requesting ROV Jason and a UNOLS vessel capable of supporting ROV operations. |
