|
Summary of Field Work: |
We plan to use a Mother Tucker trawl, plankton nets, squid jigging and scientific SCUBA diving to collect animals of interest for our work. Our work will consist of a CTD to start the day, followed by 3 - 4 large net deployments at various depths during the day to collect animals. At night, the science party will conduct jigging for squids over the rail of the ship. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will need a CTDO, rosette, A-frame and winch with 0.64" conducting wire for net operation, sufficient deck space for net deployments, and if possible a small boat and compressor for SCUBA operations. |

Optimum Start Date:

Dates to Avoid: |
I've requested dates after the end of UPenn's spring term and such that the cruise would conclude before the start of the fall term, since I am expected to teach on campus both of those terms. |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
This is the third funded cruise associated with my NSF CAREER award. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
The R/V Hugh Sharp will allow us to drive our personnel and equipment from Philadelphia to the port (about 120 miles), resulting in significant cost savings over shipping gear and flying to a more distant port. Teaching schedules dictate that we schedule cruises in the summer break. |

| Description of Op Area: |
On our previous two cruises, we've found the most specimens of interest at a station at 37º49'N, 73º36'W, and this trip, we will plan to mostly work in that area. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
The Sweeney lab has seven graduate students, two postdocs, and one undergraduate who plan to participate in the cruise. We also plan to invite a few collaborators from other labs to help run trawling operations, since this operation takes 5-6 people on deck for an hour at a time several times a day. |

I'm not sure at this point whether the winches and wire we used on our last cruise were native to the Sharp or required coordination with off-site UNOLS facilities. I plan to coordinate with the ship in winter of 2018 to make sure we have adequate winch and wire for running our trawling system. |
