Summary of Field Work: |
The objective is to recover a benthic sensor/acoustic modem platform that has been making measurements at the seafloor at 580 m for over 2 years. The sensors and modem have been powered with a benthic microbial fuel cell that forms the base of the platform. A ROV will be utilized to locate and retrieve the platform that has a footprint of 0.28 m^2 and weighs ~100 kg in air. Sediment push cores will be collected at the study site, and CTD casts performed to provide additional environmental data. |
|
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
Remote Operated Vehicle and supporting winch and over the side handling systems.
Dynamic positioning. |
|
Summary of other requirements and comments: |
This field work could be completed as an add-on to another program such as the OOI Cabled Array maintenance cruise in 2019. An issue with working with OOI, however, may be the availability of berths. |

|
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
This project could use an Ocean class vessel. Thompson is requested because an OOI Cabled Array cruise has been requested to the area of operations in our time window with Thompson and ROV Jason. The chief scientist is Deborah S. Kelley. |

Explanation of Science Party Requirements and Technician Requirements |
The science party size will depend on whether we work on a collaborative basis or as the sole science team. We request having two OSU scientists, a marine tech and an ROV support team. |

Explain Major Ancillary Facilities
Requirements and list description

We request Jason because it is expected to be available on a collaborative basis. A smaller ROV with 1000 m tether should be adequate for the required operations. |
