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: Foraminiferal Ecological Response to Ocean Conditions in the Northwest Pacific Ocean Project Status: Submitted
Principal Investigator: Jennifer Fehrenbacher, OSU_Oregon State Project Institution: OSU_Oregon State
Project ID: 106928 Version #: 1
Date Submitted: 8/13/2020 10:07:00 PM Created By: Jennifer Fehrenbacher
Date Last Modified: 3/15/2021 6:39:00 PM URI Serial #: None
Funding Agencies: NSF/OCE/MGG - 2049143 - Funded
Summary of Field Work: Summary of Field Work: Characterization of foraminiferal assemblages (ecology) and geochemistry in the Northeast Pacific Ocean

This work will consist of the deployment (and twice annual maintenance) of two sediment traps, and the collection of water column samples (plankton tow sampling, CTD casts with rosette) to establish the ecology and geochemistry of foraminifera in the eastern North Pacific Ocean. Water column and plankton tow sampling would occur near the Newport Hydrographic Line and would include 2 days of water column sampling and 5 days (total) shipboard experiments.
Summary of Facility Requirements: Summary of Facility Requirements: We will need a CTD/rosette, 0.322 EM wire for [plankton towing), sufficient deck space and A-frame for mooring deployments/recoveries, -20°C and -80°C freezers, 4°C fridge, and wet/dry lab space for water circulators and sample processing.

Requested Ship, Operating Days and Dates
Year: 2021 Ship/Facility: Regional
Optimum Start Date: 9/10/2021 Dates to Avoid: After mid-october, seas become too rough to deploy, recover, and redeploy sediment traps, so work should be done prior to mid-late October
 
 
Earliest Start Date: 8/15/2021 Multi-Ship Op: No
Latest Start Date: 10/15/2021 Other Ship(s): N/A

Repeating Cruise?
(within same year)
No Interval:   # of Cruises:  

Description of Repeating cruise requirements: We will repeat the cruise every 6 months (Spring and Fall) for the duration of the proposal to recover and redeploy sediment traps, collect samples, and perform ship board experiments.
Justification/Explanation for ship choice, dates,
conflicts, number of days & multi-ship operations:
Chosen dates provide opportunity to deploy/recover traps every 6 months in the spring and fall.
Work Area for Cruise
Short Description of Op Area
for use in schedules:
NH Line
Description of Op Area: Recover and redeploy sediment traps near the NH line. Sample water column between NH 45 and NH 150
