Shipboard Scientific Support Equipment/RV Cape Hatteras

2011年7月30日建议编号：1118495机构：杜克大学PI：B.CorlissCo-PI：R.Smith本提案要求杜克大学在R/V好望角哈特拉斯号上使用四项船上科学支持项目，即新的组合导航系统、20英尺存储集装箱、重力岩心支架和自动渲染/恢复？用于现有的拖网绞车。它还包括为开始使船只符合联合国难民事务高级专员办事处研究船安全标准(RVSS)附录B的紧急要求而进行的工程支助团购提供的资金。所有项目都将增强安全或极大地改善对科学的支持能力。广泛的影响和智力价值：PI专门针对R/V好望角以及更广泛的舰队解决了拟议设备的更广泛的影响和智力价值。所支持的研究项目都经过了个别同行评审，以确定其科学价值。在行动中，哈特拉斯角通常会让研究生和本科生接触海洋海洋学。这艘船还定期向本科生、高中生和中学生以及童子军和博物馆等公民团体开放参观。PI和海洋行动小组还调查了船上生物燃料的使用情况，并将主办由NSF资助的绿色船舶研讨会？在2012年初。作为一艘地区性船只，哈特拉斯角号参与了对2010年墨西哥湾深水地平线漏油灾难的快速科学反应，并计划在2011年为国家科学基金会资助的近70天提供支持。

ABSTRACT 30 July 2011Proposal Number: 1118495Institution: Duke UniversityPI: B. CorlissCo-PI: R. SmithThis proposal requests four Shipboard Scientific Support items for Duke University for use aboard the R/V CAPE HATTERAS; namely a new integrated navigation system, 20-foot storage containers, gravity core stand, and ?auto-render/recover? for an existing trawl winch. It also includes funding for a group purchase of engineering support to begin bringing vessels into compliance with emergent UNOLS Research Vessel Safety Standards (RVSS), Appendix B requirements. All items will either enhance safety or provide greatly improved support capabilities to science.Broader Impact and Intellectual Merit: The PI addressed the Broader Impact and Intellectual Merit of the proposed equipment specifically for the R/V CAPE HATTERAS as well as the broader Fleet. The research projects supported have been individually peer-reviewed for scientific merit. During operations, the CAPE HATTERAS routinely exposes graduate and undergraduate students to seagoing oceanography. The vessel is also routinely open for tours for undergraduate, high school and middle school students as well as civic groups like Scout troops and museums. The PI and marine operations group have also investigated the use of bio-fuel on board the ship and will be hosting the NSF-funded ?Green Ship Workshop? in early 2012. As a regional vessel, the R/V CAPE HATTERAS was involved in the rapid scientific response to the Deep Water Horizon oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico in 2010, and is scheduled to support nearly 70 NSF-funded days in CY 2011.
