        | 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.

We also would like to request a 7.0 cubic meter Chest freezer (if possible).
