Summary of Field Work: |
Kits (CORKs 1382A and 1383C) in each of two boreholes located in North Pond on the flank of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge using an ROV. The systems will be left in place for three to five days then recovered. In addition, an elevator (free vehicle) with an autonomous filtration system will be dropped to the sea floor, left in place for one to two days to filter near-bottom seawater, then floated to the surface for recovery. A Niskin bottle rosette with CTD and pinger would be used to collect additional seawater samples. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
A deep-sea rated ROV (4,480 m) is required for deployment of the filtration systems. Laboratory bench space (10 -15 linear ft) and access to a sink and a fume hood on the ship is required for processing of samples. Refrigerator (4°C, walk-in) and freezer (-20°C, 10 cu. ft and -80 °C; 10 cu. Ft.) space are also required for storage of unpreserved and preserved (formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde) fluid samples. A Niskin rosette (24 x 10L) with CTD and winch with conductive cable capable of reaching close to the seafloor at the site (4,480 m) is requested for seawater collection. |

Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We need to use Jason II for deployment of seafloor equipment. We are proposing to collaborate on this cruise with C. Geoffrey Wheat who is funded to work at the same location. We will be coordinating logistics to conduct work at the CORK observatories located in North Pond. |
