Ship Time and Marine Technician Support for the RV Endeavor - CY 2016
Abstract
Funds are provided to the University of Rhode of Island for ship time and marine technician support of Navy oceanographic research projects in 2016. Coring operations will be conducted by the OSU Coring group as a way to test several synthetic tension members. Synthetic rope will be used instead of the wire rope to conduct the coring operations. Winch tension data for max load at pull out will need to be monitored. We also will evaluate the traction winch sheaves and fairlead blocks to make sure they are compatible with synthetic rope use. Cleaning and smoothing of the sheave grooves will be necessary. Need to work in approximately 800 meters of water off the shelf break. Coring cruise in the New England Mud Patch area of the Atlantic south of Martha s Vineyard, MA. Primary objective is to obtain piston cores and vibracore data. Other supporting data may also be collected depending on schedule. Summary of Facility Requirements: Will need piston coring and vibracoring equipment and ship capable of collecting 30-40 foot cores.
