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: Oregon Oceangoing Research Vessel Program Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Jack A. Barth, OSU-CEOAS Project Institution: OSU-CEOAS
Project ID: 104210 Version #: 5
Date Submitted: 1/27/2014 11:31:00 PM Created By: Jack A. Barth
Date Last Modified: 3/25/2019 4:42:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: STATE - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: The State of Oregon Oceangoing Research Vessel Program funds the use of the OSU Research Vessel (R/V) Oceanus to conduct research and study of the waters of the Pacific Coast. Potential areas of research include, but are not limited to:
(a) Mapping the seabed in Oregon’s territorial sea, as defined in ORS 196.405;
(b) Analyzing marine ecosystems, including but not limited to existing marine reserves,
existing marine protected areas, proposed marine reserves and proposed marine protected
areas;
(c) Analyzing the potential effects of climate change, including but not limited to ocean
acidification;
(d) Compiling comprehensive assessments of overall ocean health;
(e) Understanding ocean dynamics, including but not limited to natural hazards such as
tsunamis; and
(f) Installing instruments to effectively monitor the impact of wave energy systems,
marine reserves and marine protected areas on marine ecosystems and fish populations.

Educational activities might include, but are not limited to, university-level classes about
oceanographic research and/or the techniques of making oceanographic measurements at sea.
Summary of Facility Requirements: R/V Oceanus with onboard scientific equipment and Marine Technician
Summary of other requirements and comments: Work requested under the State of Oregon Oceangoing Research Vessel Program shall be evaluated as to the feasibility of accommodating the proposed work within the schedule of federally funded projects for the research vessel.

Ship days through 6/30/2019 are funded and ship days after 7/1/2019 are pending.
