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 EAGER project:
Early Career Seismic Chief Scientist Training Cruise
Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Masako Tominaga, TAMU_CS Project Institution: TAMU_CS
Project ID: 105557 Version #: 5
Date Submitted: 11/1/2016 11:49:00 PM Created By: Masako Tominaga
Date Last Modified: 2/8/2017 2:28:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/IPS - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: We have science target offshore Oregon. This target would provide (i) an important science target (see the later Science section) to focus the trainees' attention on contributing to a meaningful advance of scientific knowledge that will result in publications, and (ii) a facility to accommodate post-cruise seismic processing and interpretation workshop (e.g. Scripps Institute of Oceanography, San Diego, CA; Hatfield Marine Science Center, Newport, OR, etc.).
Summary of Facility Requirements: We request shiptime ideally aboard R/V Revelle or R/V Sally Ride with working compressor (s) with a compressor engineer participating in the cruise, with the transit from Newport to San Diego in September 2017.
Summary of other requirements and comments: Spoken with Holly Smith and Lee Ellet (Scripps portable seismic), the IHA permit can go forward as soon as the funding can get secured.

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
No Interval:   # of Cruises:  

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: N/A
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
Roger Revelle has been proven to have two working compressors. We would request SIO to provide a compressor engineer sailing with us to ensure to mitigate any compressor-related survey troubles.
Either Roger Revelle or Sally Ride will be on the westcoast during summer-early fall 2017, which will situate the training cruise with short transit to science target (Cascadia) and with post-cruise workshop facility in one of the state institution (i.e. SIO, OSU, UW, etc.).
Summer-early Fall is the only time window that is available for teaching faculty (PIs) and to maximize the participant pool (i.e. graduate students who are on teaching assistantship cannot sail in the exam/grading period of the semester).
Work Area for Cruise
Short Description of Op Area
for use in schedules:
Cascadia
Description of Op Area: Oregon Continental Margin (outside of state water). Two regions to survey: (45-47N, 124.25-126W; this includes areas B and C in the proposal), and (43-44N,124.5-125.5W, this include area D in the proposal)
Op Area Size/Dia.: 120 x 60 miles

Foreign Clearance and Permitting Requirements
Foreign Clearance Required? No Coastal States:
 Important Info on Foreign Research Clearances  

Are you or any member in your science party bringing in any science equipment items which are regulated for export by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)?
No If yes, have you applied for the necessary permits through your export control office? No
 Questions about ITAR/EAR regulations?

Comments about foreign clearance requirements or
description of any other special permitting requirements
(e.g., MMPA, ESA, IHA, Marine Sanctuaries, etc.)
we do not expect any foreign clearance. Also, we will stay out of the CA State water -
