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 Title: Comprehensive survey of the Fieberling-Guadalupe Seamount Chain Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Sarah M. Maher, UCSD Project Institution: UCSD
Project ID: 106322 Version #: 2
Date Submitted: 11/30/2018 5:52:00 PM Created By: Sarah M. Maher
Date Last Modified: 7/21/2020 11:23:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: INST/UCSD/SIO - NONE - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Here we propose a ten day cruise on the R/V Sally Ride, for the November-December 2019 time slot (date flexible), to perform a detailed survey of four seamounts on the Fieberling-Guadalupe Seamount Chain. Currently, this chain off the coast of southern California has limited dredge samples and surveys that cannot resolve whether its volcanism is derived from a hotspot source or due to tectonic processes. We have planned 4 total days of transit time and 6 days on site to preform a detailed bathymetric and magnetic survey along with several dredges. This will help to determine the temporal evolution of the chain. This cruise will be offered as a class aimed at geoscience (GS) graduate students but open to all curricular groups. The academic goal is to learn data collection and analysis at sea, and will culminate in a peer-reviewed paper written by the students.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Our planned survey would require use of the dredge equipment and sampling gear, magnetometer, multibeam, and 1 dredge technician. If we have 2 dredge technicians we would be able to run 24 hour operations. We also require sufficient deck space for dredge operations and sample storage.

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: No repeat cruise is needed.
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
We are requesting the R/V Sally Ride through UC ship funds for its scheduled time in port in San Diego from November/December 2019. The Sally Ride is the only available ship that can do dredge operations this far offshore, but our scheduled time is flexible.
