项目摘要

This project will support an Alvin Science Verification Expedition to conduct dives to abyssal depths, down to 6500m, in the Puerto Rico Trench and at the Mid-Cayman Rise following completion of the major overhaul and upgrade.The science verification expedition will test and document the improved and new HOV Alvin systems and operations at increased depths down to 6500m, made possible by the Alvin Upgrade. Science verification activities will be guided by input from the community workshop (Summer 2020) on priorities in abyssal research for the coming decade.The project will offer early career scientists an opportunity to observe and participate in an HOV Alvin expedition (most likely for the first time), providing critical training to advance their research careers through the use of this national asset.The project will engage with K-12 students and researchers in nations and territories adjacent to work sites to ensure that indigenous populations can participate in and benefit from the research conducted. High-bandwidth ship-to-shore communications will be critical to this effort as COVID restrictions will prevent in-person participation by these scientists and students and will prevent the science party from being ashore in these nations and territories.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.

该项目将支持阿尔文科学核查考察队在大修和升级完成后，在波多黎各海沟和开曼群岛中部隆起进行潜水至6500米以下的深海。科学核查考察队将测试和记录阿尔文升级后在6500米以下增加深度的改进和新的HOV阿尔文系统和操作。科学验证活动将以关于未来十年深海研究优先事项的社区讲习班(2020年夏季)的意见为指导。该项目将为早期职业科学家提供观察和参与HOV Alvin探险(很可能是第一次)的机会，提供关键培训，以通过使用这一国家资产推进他们的研究事业。该项目将与工作地点附近国家和地区的K-12学生和研究人员接触，以确保土著居民能够参与并受益于所进行的研究。高带宽的船对岸通信将是这一努力的关键，因为COVID的限制将阻止这些科学家和学生亲自参与，并将阻止科学党在这些国家和地区上岸。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
