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: Collaborative Research: The transition from rifting to seafloor spreading at the western tip of the Cocos-Nazca Rift Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Emily Klein, Duke Project Institution: Duke
Project ID: 105254 Version #: 7
Date Submitted: 3/11/2016 2:51:00 PM Created By: Jon C. Alberts
Date Last Modified: 1/27/2017 12:19:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/MGG - 1558342 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Geophysical mapping of the western end of the Cocos-Nazca spreading center in the equatorial Atlantic. We will collect multibeam bathymetry, magnetic, and gravity data. We will also complete 60 dredges.
Summary of Facility Requirements: We will need a multibeam echosounder, the MISO surface-towed magnetometer and the wire to tow it, a gravimeter from the shared equipment pool, and 3 dredges.
