Oceanographic Instrumentation II - 2011

请求为马库斯·朗塞斯号R/V提供额外的备用仪器，这是235？哥伦比亚大学Lamont-Doherty地球观测站运营的具有一般海洋学能力的全球地震船，是大学-国家海洋学实验室系统研究船队的一部分。这个要求只有一个：WesternGeco？Langseth号虽然是一艘通用研究船，但它拥有独特的多通道地震采集系统和声源阵列。这些系统使科学家能够绘制地球的图像。S结构，现在是三维的，从而更好地理解影响社会的过程。一个例子是引发海啸和其他破坏性的地震。因此，Langseth为来自全国各地和世界各地的研究人员提供了一个独特的机会来调查一系列关于海洋科学的问题。另一个影响领域是对攻读海洋科学海洋研究生学位的学生的教育的贡献，在朗塞斯夫妇的情况下是海洋地球物理学。这些项目的参与者也包括本科生。在所有情况下，学生作为研究小组的一员参与，以获得海上研究的第一手经验。全年都在进行公众宣传。拉蒙特·多尔蒂地球观测站网站为公众和社区提供了了解朗塞斯？作为一扇通往科学世界的窗口。

A request is made to fund additional and back-up instrumentation on the R/V Marcus Langseth, a 235? Global seismic vessel with general oceanographic capabilities operated by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University as part of the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System research fleet. The request is for one item: WesternGeco?s remaining SYNTRAK streamer system: $400,000 The Langseth, while operated as a general-purpose research vessel, possesses a unique capability with multichannel seismic acquisition systems and sound source arrays. These systems permit scientists to develop images of the earth?s structure, now in three dimensions, thereby gaining a better understanding of processes that affect society. One example is tsunami-generating and otherwise damaging earthquakes. As a result the Langseth presents a singular opportunity for researchers from across the country and around the world to investigate a range of questions regarding the marine sciences. Another area of impact is the contribution to education of students pursuing marine graduate degrees in the ocean sciences and in the case of the Langseth, marine geophysics. Participants in these programs also include undergraduates. In all cases the student participates as an integral member of a research team to obtain firsthand experience in at-sea research. Public outreach is ongoing throughout the year. The Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory website provides the opportunity for the public and the community to learn about the Langseth?s capabilities and serves as a window into the world of science.
