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.

  Project Information  
Project Title: Collaborative Research: Relationship between plate boundary obliquity, strain accommodation, and fault zone geometry at oceanic-continental transforms: The Queen Charlotte Fault Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Lindsay Worthington, UNM Project Institution: UNM
Project ID: 106013 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 1/16/2018 10:26:00 PM Created By: Lindsay Worthington
Date Last Modified: 9/1/2020 1:34:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/MGG - 1824927 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Characterization of fault zone structure, crustal and sedimentary deformation and velocity structure of the lithosphere along an oceanic-continental transform margin. We will shoot ~4000 km of long-offset seismic reflection data and ~1800 km of coincident wide angle OBS data. Gravity, magnetics and bathymetry will be collected along the ship track.
Summary of Facility Requirements: We will need a 15 km long seismic streamer and 1600 cu in airgun array. Instruments for gravity and magnetics are desired; multibeam echosounder.
