Summary of Field Work: |
Investigation and characterization of newly discovered vigorously venting methane seep sites with diverse microbial and macrofaunal communities on the Cascadia Subduction Zone east of Newport Oregon using the ROV Jason and AUV Sentry. Fieldwork will include high resolution mapping, subbottom profiling (CHIRP), push and gravity cores, fluid sampling with IGT gas tight and major bottle samplers, and CTD work. The field program will include 13 days offshore. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
The proposed work on the R/V Thompson will include use of the ROV Jason and AUV Sentry, shipboard CTD casts with rosette, coring and ADCP's. If weather prevents dive and CTD operations, we will utilize the EM302 system for bubble plume and bathymetric mapping. |
