The Geochemical Environmental Research Group (GERG) at Texas A&M University (TAMU) requests instrumentation as well as materials for ROV compatible instrument frames. These instruments are proposed as shared-use instruments for the fleet. The first research cruise for their NSF funded project, OCE #1851378 (TAMU) and 1851365 (FSU), titled “Collaborative Research: Defying Dissolution: Unraveling the Enigma of North Pacific Deep-Sea Scleractinian Reefs in Undersaturated Water” was originally scheduled for September 2020 and was postponed (currently scheduled for August 2021) because delivery of critical instrumentation for the deep-sea coral lander was delayed due to COVID-19 closures by suppliers. In addition, the lack of redundancy in their instruments was noted by the UNOLS safety review panel and to remedy this concern were advised to submit this Oceanographic Instrumentation proposal for a second set of instruments to deploy. The instrument lander consists of a SAMI-pH, SAMI-CO2, and Aanderaa Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) with CTD, oxygen sensor, and data logger. The proposed Oceanographic Instrumentation includes:1) SAMI-pH $24,0362) SAMI-CO2 $28,7963) Aanderaa ADCP $36,7264) ROV compatible frame $9,969 $99,527Broader Impacts The principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 19-602). 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.

得克萨斯A M大学（TAMU）的地球化学环境研究小组（GERG）要求提供仪器以及可兼容的仪器框架材料。提议将这些仪器作为船队的共用仪器。他们的NSF资助项目的第一次研究巡航，OCE #1851378（TAMU）和1851365（FSU），题为“合作研究：挑战溶解：揭开北太平洋深海不饱和水中的石礁之谜”原定于2020年9月举行，现已推迟（目前定于二零二一年八月），原因是供应商因COVID-19关闭而延迟交付深海珊瑚着陆器的关键仪器。此外，联合国海洋法办事处安全审查小组注意到其仪器缺乏冗余，并建议为解决这一问题提交海洋学仪器提案，以便部署第二套仪器。仪器着陆器由SAMI-pH，SAMI-CO2和Aanderaa声学多普勒海流剖面仪（ADCP）组成，带有CTD，氧传感器和数据记录器。拟议的海洋学仪器包括：1）SAMI-pH 24，0362美元）SAMI-CO2 28，7963美元）Aanderaa ADCP 36，7264美元）可兼容的框架9，969美元 $99，527更广泛的影响 本提案的主要影响是提案指南（NSF 19-602）的优点审查标准2。它为科学家提供基础设施支持，以使用该船及其共享使用的仪器来支持他们的NSF资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目单独接受NSF相关研究计划的单独审查）。 共享使用仪器的获取、维护和操作允许来自美国任何大学或实验室的NSF资助的研究人员使用工作、校准的仪器进行研究，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知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
