Science Objectives

The University of Minnesota research group has the following objectives:
1. Hydrothermal vent fluid sampling. The vent sampling will involve direct acquisitoin of fluid samples using Alvin, but also deployment of time series sampling by remote operation.
2. Chemical sensor deployments will take place in association with vent fluid sampling

Science Activities

To fulfill UM objectives, we will deploy sensor and samplers at sites of high temperature venting, but also at sites of diffuse flow venting.  Vent fluid samples will be processed on board ship. Chemical sensor calibartion efforts will also take place shipboard, before and after seafloor deployment. The UM group will be heavily involved with chemical work while onboard.

Hydraulic schematic of the equipment requirements.
Does this equipment require manipulation? yes
- added yes on Aug 8, 2016 4:05 PM by Chad Smith
If yes, please describe how the equipment is to be manipulated:
Hydrothermal vent fluid sampling and sensor deployment (UM) will require manipulation by alvin
- changed from Hydrothermal vent fluid sampling and sensor deployment (UM) will require manipulation by alvin to Use of ALVIN manipulator to position equipment deployment. The manipulator is also used to acquire gas-tight samples
