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: Bubble Plume Emissions from Fault Zones within the Puget Sound Forearc Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Harlan P. Johnson, UW Project Institution: UW
Project ID: 106617 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 8/26/2019 4:02:00 PM Created By: Harlan P. Johnson
Date Last Modified: 8/26/2019 4:02:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/GEO/ICER - 106542 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Proposal is requesting 4 days of RV CARSON ship time, beginning with a two contiguous days in January 2020 and two additional contiguous days in late March 2020, depending on ship schedules. Project would deploy a small Phantom Remotely Operated Vehicle within Puget Sound during those cruise days. Four additional days would be needed for staging the ROV at the UW campus dock.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Four days of at-sea ship time, in 2 contiguous time blocks. The ROV to be used is a small Phantom vehicle,with rental costs within the PI budget proposal
Summary of other requirements and comments: requires minimum of 7 kilowatt electrical generator with 240 volt at 60 cycle power and a compressed air generator.

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
Yes Interval: 3 months approximate # of Cruises: 2

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: To allow for sampling of gas emission sites, we are requesting two 2-day cruises, with the first in January 2020, and the second 2-day cruise in March 2020
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
There are two key operating sites within Puget Sound and the ROV work at each site needs a single day. The second operating days in March is to study the variability of the plume emissions within the tectonic Episodic Tremor and Slip cycle for the Cascadia forearc.

requirements that could affect choice
of ship in scheduling.

ROV will be small HD2+2 vehicle, provided by PI. This will need 7 kilowatts of 240 volt 60 cycle electrical power. We will also need a small compressed air generator. We will need 38 khz sonar on the CARSON to be working.
