A Multi-chambered Suction Sampler for Multidisciplinary Research Using ROV Jason 2 and Alvin: Tasks 1, 2 and 3

0447856鲍恩该奖项授予马萨诸塞州的伍兹霍尔海洋研究所，用于支持开发改进的采样装置，以便使用潜水器和遥控潜水器从海底采集多个脆弱的生物和地质样本。 这些吸入式取样器将允许在未受污染的试管中完整地回收一系列生物、细菌和地质材料，并且使用带有可互换取样器的转盘系统，将有可能在一次潜水或部署期间获得许多样品。 这些工具将成为世界卫生组织国家深潜设施用户可使用的标准仪器系列的一部分，预计在2005年和今后几年，这些工具将对使用国家深潜设施进行深海研究的科学家大有助益。

0447856BowenThis award to Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in Massachusetts provides support for the development of improved sampling devices for recovering multiple, fragile biological and geological samples from the sea floor using submeribles and remotely operated vehicles. These suction samplers will allow intact recovery of an array of biological, bacterial and geological material in uncontaminated tubes, and using a carousel system with interchangeable samplers, it will be possible to obtain numerous samples during a single dive or deployment. The tools will become part of the standard array of instruments available to users of the National Deep Submergence Facility at WHOI, and they are expected to be of substantial advantage to scientists using the NDSF facility in their deep-sea research during 2005 and future years.***
