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: Exploring Pressure Effects on Deep-Sea Microbial Communities Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Douglas Bartlett, SIO Project Institution: SIO
Project ID: 105570 Version #: 4
Date Submitted: 12/13/2016 12:43:00 PM Created By: Douglas Bartlett
Date Last Modified: 9/27/2017 8:13:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NOAA/OE - NA17OAR0110212 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: We will test an ocean lander and pressure-retaining water samplers in the San Clemente Basin down to a depth of ~ 2,000 m.

Four drops are planned.
Summary of Facility Requirements: The lander will be deployed and recovered from the ship's A-frame. It will be identified at the surface by its red flag, strobe light, radio beacon and iridium GPS signal. It will be followed underwater using a Benthos deck box.

The science party will bring a chilled water bath and subsamplers to be set up in interior lab space. A small amount of space is needed for pipetting samples and adding chemicals to the microbes in the seawater. A small filtration station may be needed to be set up by the science party.

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements We need to test an ocean lander and pressure-retaining water samplers to be used in conjunction with the lander. Four sets of drops are needed to collect water from ~ 2,000 m (as deep as possible in this general location). A small amount of lab space (wet lab) is needed to subsample from the pressure-retaining samplers and set up incubations of microbes.
