Summary of Field Work: |
The goal of this project is to determine crustal structure along and across the Hawaii and Emperor seamount chains using a series of 2D seismic reflection/refraction profiles. We envisage that the work would take place during two parts. The first part would involve an experiment from Honolulu-Honolulu using the Langseth. The second part would involve an experiment aboard the Langseth from Honolulu to Adak, Alaska. We chose these ports based on the Langseth regional plan, but could use different ports as needed. OBS deployments and recoveries as well as acquisition of seismic reflection/refraction data would all take place from the Langseth. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We require the large, tuned air gun array and long streamer of the Langseth for acquiring seismic refleciton and refraction data along our profiles. We will also be deploying and recovering OBS, and will need space for prepping and storing them and a suitable crane for deployment/recovery. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
We will have several co-chief scientists and watchstanders to stand watches for 24 hour operations in the science party. We will also have several OBSIP engineers to support OBS operations. We also plan to use this as a training opportunity for young scientists. From the Langseth, we would request adequate technical personnel for data acquisition with the 15-km streamer, including providing navigation, etc. The Langseth's technical staff can recommend the correct number of people needed for this cruise. |
