Summary of Field Work: |
Field work associated with this project will primarily involve deployment of a newly developed deep sea chemical analyzer. The science plan is to measure the concentration and productive rates of the reactive oxygen species (ROS) superoxide associated with benthic communities, such as deep sea corals or tube worms. The chemical analyzer will be mounted on Alvin's basket and a sampling wand will be used to measure superoxide at various locations within the benthic communities. This information will be coupled with other geochemical and biological data collected using major samples to identify trends in superoxide levels and distributions within deep sea communities.
Due to our modest dive needs and flexibility in field sites, we anticipate that these science needs can be met by joining a separate Alvin cruise on the R/V Atlantis that will take place in year 2 (2019). We are requesting 6 Alvin dives to meet the scientific goals. Since literally nothing is known about this type of chemistry in the deep ocean - the testing of this new analyzer can be successfully conducted over a wide range of deep-sea biological communities that exist. Such regions might include Guaymas Basin and the Gulf of California, the East Pacific Rise (9N), Juan de Fuca Ridge, Axial Volcano, mid-Atlantic Ridge vent systems or hydrocarbon associated systems in the Gulf of Mexico or along the eastern and western margins of North America. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will need access to the HOV Alvin, including associated major samplers and temperature probes. We would also welcome the opportunity for using the CTD during night operations when the instrumentation is not deployed on Alvin (e.g., during cruise periods where Alvin activities are supporting the other projects and other PIs' work). |

| Description of Op Area: |
The goals of this project can be accomplished by deployment of the instrumentation at any number of deep sea environments - including seeps, vents or other possible targets. Our operational area is therefore flexible. |

Explanation/justification for requested
ports and dates of intermediate stops
or to list additional port stops |
As stated - this OTIC project aims to conduct novel seafloor chemical measurements. The scientific goals of this project are therefore accomplishable across a variety of seafloor environments including cold seeps, hydrothermal vent systems and other biological communities. As such - the requested port of Manzanillo, MX is only to act as a placeholder until more detailed scheduling can be accommodated. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
The science party will consist of two science PIs (Wankel, Hansel) and ideally one postdoc and one graduate student. A number of activities including fluid sampling and processing, calibration and bench-top testing of newly developed technology will be shared among these team members. |
