Summary of Field Work: |
Goal is to understand the role of biological cohesion and bioturbators on the evolution of seabed roughness including bedforms such as sand ripples in shallow water.
Activities include deploy/recover moorings, run ROV mission with ship in DP, run UUV missions from small, and collect sediment and water samples. |
Summary of Facility Requirements: |
We will need a J-frame (or equivalent) to perform sediment grabs, sufficient deck space/A-frame for mooring deployments/recoveries with TSE or other large winch, ships multibeam, power connection for ROV conex, and small boat for small UUV launch and recovery. We will need highbay space for mob/demob to build large bottom moorings (quadpods). |

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: |
First cruise for deployment and the second cruise for recovery. |
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations: |
R/V Sharp has the closest home port to our study site and meets all the requirements needed to deploy and recover our large "quadpod" bottom moorings. |
