Science Objectives

Collect fluids from the CORKs at North Pond. Recover the down hole samplers that are in the boreholes.  Fish for one sampler that was deployed within a CORK, much like we did with Alvin on the Juan de Fuca. Also collect fluid that vent from the CORKs and potentially measure flow rates.  Also download pressure data. Collect fluids for viruses (filter for 3 days)
