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.

  Peptide deamination  -  2019  -  Oceanus  
  Project Information  
Project Title: Collaborative Research: Peptide deamination as a source of refractory dissolved organic matter in marine sediments Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Hussain Abdulla, TAMUCC Project Institution: TAMU-CC
Project ID: 105885 Version #: 4
Date Submitted: 8/13/2017 6:31:00 PM Created By: David J. Burdige
Date Last Modified: 1/25/2018 1:05:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/CO - 1756672 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Collection of sediment cores using a multi-core and a gravity core; CTD profiling and hydrocast sampling with Niskin bottles and Go-Flo bottles
Summary of Facility Requirements: We need a multi-core (MC-400 or MC-800) and a gravity core (preferably the OSU "Big Bertha" corer). We also need a UNOLS cold (refrigerated) van and a CTD plus 12 bottle rosette.
Summary of other requirements and comments: A major purpose of our work is to determine natural 14C signatures of dissolved- and solid phase carbon in these sediments, including DOC (which is notorious for its susceptibility to contamination). It is therefore critical that we have a “clean” working environment with minimal potential for 14C and organic carbon contamination. We will need to use a research vessel that has been swabbed for 14C, and refrigerated vans that have not been used for isotope tracers.

A propane torch will be used in the lab. We also expect 5-10 compressed gas tanks to be on board.

and provider for "other" systems.
It is critical that we have a “clean” working environment with minimal potential for 14C and organic carbon contamination. We will need to use a research vessel that has been swabbed for 14C, and refrigerated vans that have not been used for isotope tracers.
We also would like to have (if possible) a 7.0Cubic meter Chest freezer.
