Oceanographic Technical Services, LDEO, 2018-2022

哥伦比亚大学的Lamont-Doherty地球天文台(LDEO)建议支持R/V Marcus Langseth上的技术服务，作为大学-国家海洋实验室系统(UNLS)计划的美国学术舰队的一部分。兰塞特房车，235？2005年从西部GECO购买的地震勘测船将作为地球物理研究船(具有一些额外的通用海洋能力)由美国国家科学基金会拥有，并取代了236？LDEO在1990至2005年间运营了一艘科考船。LDEO正在申请资金，以支持多道地震数据采集的基本和专门服务。他们建议为每个海洋研究项目提供至少三名技术人员，以提供基本服务和维护设备，校准传感器，并为合格用户提供支持。专业服务包括2018年的2D和3D多通道地震支持以及哺乳动物减灾工作。LDEO计划为2D地震工作配备8名技术人员，为3D地震工作配备10-12名技术人员。这项提案中的预算是为期5年的连续赠款的第一年。这一奖项的第一年将与该计划进行谈判，并将估计年限。由于船舶是每年安排的，所以不可能预测国家科学基金会S在未来几年总使用量中所占的比例。因此，第2至第5年的预算将在收到详细说明这些时间表和相关成本的年度报告后进行谈判。布罗德影响本提案的主要影响是根据提案指南(NSF 13-589)的功绩审查标准2。它为科学家提供基础设施支持，以使用该船及其共享仪器，以支持他们由NSF资助的海洋研究项目(这些项目单独接受NSF相关研究计划的单独审查)。共享仪器的获取、维护和操作允许美国国家科学基金会资助的任何美国大学或实验室的研究人员获得用于其研究的工作、校准的仪器，从而降低研究成本，并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory (LDEO) of Columbia University proposes to support technical services on R/V Marcus Langseth as part of the U.S. Academic Fleet which is scheduled by the University-National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS). R/V Langseth, a 235? seismic survey vessel purchased in 2005 from Western GECO to be operated as a geophysical research vessel (with some additional general purpose oceanographic capabilities) is owned by the National Science Foundation and replaced R/V Maurice Ewing, a 236? research vessel operated by LDEO from 1990 to 2005.LDEO is requesting funds to support both basic and specialized services for multichannel seismic data acquisition. They propose to provide at least three technicians on each seagoing research project to provide basic services and to maintain equipment, calibrate sensors, and provide support for qualified users. Specialized services include both 2D and 3D Multichannel seismic support and Mammal Mitigation efforts for 2018. LDEO proposes to sail eight technicians for the 2D seismic work and 10-12 techs for 3D. The budget in this proposal is for the first year of a 5-year continuing grant. The first year of this award will be negotiated with the Program and out-years will be estimated. Because ships are scheduled annually, it is not possible to project NSF?s fraction of total usage in out years. Therefore, budgets for Years 2 through 5 will be negotiated after receipt of Annual Reports that detail those schedules and associated costs.Broader Impacts The principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 13-589). It provides infrastructure support for scientists to use the vessel and its shared-use instrumentation in support of their NSF-funded oceanographic research projects (which individually undergo separate review by the relevant research program of NSF). The acquisition, maintenance and operation of shared-use instrumentation allows NSF-funded researchers from any US university or lab access to working, calibrated instruments for their research, reducing the cost of that research, and expanding the base of potential researchers.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
