R/V Melville will be operating in the South Atlantic at the beginning of 2012 in support of the Navy, followed by a 53-day MGG cruise. The ship will then transit to Chile, where it will begin work jointly supported by NSF, Scripps and NOAA on the EPR Triple Junction (PI Blackman), followed by post-seismic studies of the subduction zone by NSF PI Trehu. The ship will then head north en-route to the Galapagos at which time PI Weller will conduct a NOAA-funded mission to make observation in support of the Stratus Ocean Reference Station. After leaving the Galapagos area, the ship will transit to San Diego and finish the year performing a variety of institutional as well as NSF-funded work. Intellectual Merit: The intellectual merit of the proposed work is indirect. It derives from the intellectual merit of the individual research projects that depend upon the shipboard work at sea. NSF-funded scientific investigations for 2012 operations include: marine geology; seismic hazard studies; climate observations; and instrumentation development. Broader Impacts: The mission of R/V Melville includes the provision of educational opportunities both to students of the marine sciences, and, through educational outreach. R/V Melville operations also contribute significantly to a wide diversity of scientific disciplines, the data from which benefit oceanographic research beyond those studies directly funded to participate in cruises.

R/V梅尔维尔将于2012年初在南大西洋运行，以支持海军，随后进行为期53天的MGG巡航。然后，该船将前往智利，在那里它将开始由NSF，Scripps和NOAA共同支持的EPR Triple Junction（PI Blackman）的工作，然后由NSF PI Trehu对俯冲带进行地震后研究。然后，该船将向北前往加拉帕戈斯，届时PI Weller将进行NOAA资助的使命，以支持层云海洋参考站的观测。离开加拉帕戈斯地区后，该船将过境圣地亚哥，并完成一年的各种机构以及国家科学基金会资助的工作。智力价值：拟议工作的智力价值是间接的。它源于依赖于海上船上工作的个别研究项目的智力价值。国家科学基金会资助的2012年行动的科学调查包括：海洋地质学;地震灾害研究;气候观测;和仪器开发。更广泛的影响：R/V梅尔维尔号的使命包括向海洋科学学生提供教育机会，并通过教育推广。“梅尔维尔号”考察船的作业也对多种科学学科作出了重大贡献，从中获得的数据使海洋学研究受益，而不仅仅是直接资助参加航行的研究。
