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: Deep-Sea Biology Class Field Trip (SIO 277 2019) Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Lisa A. Levin, SIO Project Institution: SIO
Project ID: 106334 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 12/19/2018 12:44:00 PM Created By: Lisa A. Levin
Date Last Modified: 12/19/2018 12:44:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: OTHER - UC Ship Funds - Funded
Summary of Field Work: The goals of the cruise are to (1) demonstrate the different types of instrumentation used to study the biology of deep-sea organisms including CTD, multicore, Isaacs kid midwater, otter trawl and possibly ROV,
(2) generate hydrographic data illustrating features of the deep CA margin
(e.g., thermocline, oxygen minimum zone, carbon maximum zone, nepheloid or
benthic boundary layers), (3) visualize and recover deep-sea animals
characteristic of midwater, continental margin and methane seep environments,
and (4) provide at-sea experience to students along with detailed
explanations of ship operations and facilities.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Multicorer, Otter Trawl, CTD, IKMT (midwater Trawl) and we are hoping to use the Triton ROV if funding can be obtained.
Summary of other requirements and comments: Cold room, Seawater on deck, -80oC Freezer, Refrigerator, -20oC Freezer
