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: Installation of a Seafloor Geodesy Observatory in the Northern Chille Subduction Zone Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Jeffrey J. McGuire, WHOI Project Institution: WHOI
Project ID: 105062 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 10/8/2015 12:50:00 PM Created By: Jeffrey J. McGuire
Date Last Modified: 10/8/2015 12:50:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/MGG - 1459095 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: The goal is to deploy 9 seafloor geodesy tripods on the continental shelf offsore of Iquique Chile in the northern part of the Chile subduction zone. The exact study area is still being determined based on an 2015 AUV mapping cruise, but could range from 1000m to 4000m water depth.
Summary of Facility Requirements: We require a ship that can support an ROV to install the geodesy instruments properly. The ROV needs to be able to lift and position a tripod that weighs 80-100 kg in water.
