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 Information  
Project Title: Deep Water Hydrography in the Glacial Western North Atlantic Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Lloyd D. Keigwin, WHOI Project Institution: WHOI
Project ID: 104971 Version #: 4
Date Submitted: 8/7/2015 1:59:00 PM Created By: Lloyd D. Keigwin
Date Last Modified: 9/19/2016 1:39:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/MGG - 1558307 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: multibeam and seismic (3.5 kHz) surveying of seafloor to identify targets for piston, gravity, and mutlicoring between Woods Hole, MA and Azores
Summary of Facility Requirements: need global or ocean class vessel
Summary of other requirements and comments: This cruise is part of a collaboration with a German colleague. Dr. Janne Repschlager is expecting to sail as part of my scientific party on the cruise I have proposed (and has been recommended for funding) and meanwhile she has been funded by the German agency for a complementary cruise on their R/V Merian. She wants to work (survey and core) around Azores including in waters on the west flank of the Mid Atlantic Ridge (MAR) down to ~3 km. I am invited on her cruise, as part of our collaboration. My cruise will start coring in water as deep as we can find good sediment (>5km) and we will work west up the MAR coring and surveying to 3 km. This way, between the two projects we will have a complete collection of cores from MAR (~2 km) down to > 5km for paleoenvironmental reconstructions. Janne says our collaboration was partly responsible for her getting funded, so it will be important that R/Vs Armstrong and Merian have complementary schedules.
