Summary of Field Work: |
Characterization of living and fossil benthic foraminifera and sediment properties in different seafloor habitats to generate modern analogs for assessments of environmental changes and paleoenvironmental history based on fossil foraminifera. Cruises will focus on hands-on training and research experience for students.
We propose to collect seafloor sediment samples from 3 areas on 2 short cruises per year. Ideally, one cruise would be in the summer, and the other would be on a weekend during the school year. The weekend trip would visit 3 sites on a transect (maximum depth 380 m), and the summer trip would visit 2 sites (about 1000 m water depth). All sites are in the Southern California Bight off San Diego. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Weekend cruises: multicorer, large Van veen grab; CTD with 12 bottle rosette, O2 sensor, transmissometer, fluorometer, PAR sensor, 2 pingers, sample storage refrigerator, freezer, -80 freezer, Secchi disc, 3.5 khtz profiler
Summer cruises: multicorer, large Van veen grab; piston corer, CTD with 12 bottle rosette, O2 sensor, transmissometer, fluorometer, PAR sensor, 2 pingers, sample storage refrigerator, freezer, -80 freezer, Secchi disc, 3.5 khtz profiler; side scan sonar; walk in cold room; A-frame and ship-side winch operation deployments |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
We plan to operate 24 hours/day and it would be preferable to have two res techs on board. On the weekend cruises, we plan to make three 8-hour legs, exchanging students each time (we have done this many times through the years using the Sproul to make these sampling legs to visit the same locations). |

Optimum Start Date:
|
7/15/2019 |
Dates to Avoid: |
We plan to include students and teachers on this cruise, so dates must be after high schools close in June and before school starts in the fall. We also plan a summer workshop after the cruise and before school starts. |

Other Ship(s): |
This cruise is planned as a summer trip, visiting 2 sites near San Diego. We request a larger ship to accommodate more students and to facilitate multiple deck operations that include piston coring. We propose to do this each year for 3 years. Targeted water depths for both sites is about 1050 m. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
This cruise will be requested separately (separate ship time request) each year for 3 years |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
We chose the R/V Sally Ride because of the proximity of our sites to her home port, size, capabilities, and because of her historical significance to students and teachers. We need to schedule this cruise in the summer in order to include teachers and students. Samples from this cruise will be used in a summer workshop and in courses, labs and student research projects. |

Explain Instrumentation or Capability
requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling. |
We require an Ocean Instruments multicorer, piston corer, and Van Veen grab sampler along with a CTD.
Winch and wire will need to accommodate multicoring, piston/gravity corer, grab sampling and CTD deployment to 400m (max target depth is 300m).
