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: Collaborative Research: New approaches to study calcium carbonate
dissolution on the sea floor and its impact on paleo-proxy
interpretations
Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: William Berelson, USC Project Institution: USC
Project ID: 106138 Version #: 3
Date Submitted: 4/18/2018 12:45:00 PM Created By: William Berelson
Date Last Modified: 7/17/2020 4:01:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/MGG - 1834475 - Funded
NSF/OCE/CO - 1834475 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: We plan to traverse an oceanic region that is approximately 2-5°N and 90°W to conduct benthic experiments and coring. The benthic experiments will include the deploying of benthic landers and benthic pore water samplers.
Summary of Facility Requirements: We request a ship capable of a 21 day cruise in the tropical E. Pacific, departing from Panama or Costa Rica with a return to a similar port.

Foreign Clearance and Permitting Requirements
Foreign Clearance Required? Yes Coastal States:

Costa Rica
 Important Info on Foreign Research Clearances  

Are you or any member in your science party bringing in any science equipment items which are regulated for export by the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and/or the Export Administration Regulations (EAR)?
No If yes, have you applied for the necessary permits through your export control office? No
 Questions about ITAR/EAR regulations?
