Coordination of the Priority Program 1144 "From the mantle to the ocean"

第1144号优先方案的目的是（...）是对大西洋洋中扩张系统进行多学科、多部门规模的研究。为这项工作选择了两个地区（15°N和4-11°S）。该计划有两个特别具有创新性的特点：由涵盖岩石学，火山学，地球动力学，地球物理学，热液学，微生物学，宏观生物学，海洋学，水化学和对流建模等高度不同领域的小组对预定义区域进行综合研究。使用最先进的遥控潜水器，对海底进行精确、位置良好的取样和观察。在本提案中，我们寻求为使SPP发挥作用所需的基础设施提供资金，并从各个项目中获得最大价值。这包括三个不同的组成部分：（1）一个协调办公室，作为各研究小组之间的接口，协调船期建议、讲习班等，并将最高人民检察院与广大的国际大洋中脊协会联系起来;（2）必要的设备，使（目前配置为在水柱中工作），作为所有海上项目的工作基地（3）数据库管理，向SPP的所有成员提供所研究地区的所有信息，并提供SPP结果的永久记录。

The aim of the Priority Program 1144 (...) is to carry out a multi-disciplinary, multi-segment scale study of the mid-ocean spreading system in the Atlantic. For this work two areas (15°N and 4-11°S) have been selected. The program has two particularly highly innovative features: The integrated study of pre-defined areas by groups covering the highly disparate fields of petrology, volcanology, geodynamics, geophysics, hydrothermalism, microbiology, macrobiology, oceanography, water chemistry and convection modelling. The use of a state-of-the-art remotely-operated vehicle (ROV) for precise, well-located sampling and observation of the seafloor. In this proposal we seek funding for the infrastructure necessary to make the SPP function and to get the most value out of the individual projets. These consist of three distinct components: (1) a coordination office to act as an interface between the various research groups, coordinate ship time proposals, workshop etc. and to link the SPP into the wide InterRidge community; (2) the necessary equipment to enable the ROV (presently configured for work in the water column) to function as a work base for all sea-going projects (high-resolution cameras, floodlights, equipment docking bay, transponder location system); (3) database management to provide all members of the SPP with all information available from the areas being studied and to provide a lasting record of the results of the SPP.
