Okeanos Explorer (EX1605L1): CAPSTONE CNMI & Mariana Trench MNM (ROV & Mapping)
The ship will conduct 24 hour operations consisting of daytime
ROV dives and evening/nighttime mapping operations including during transit.
During this cruise we will conduct primarily 8 hour ROV dives with occasional 10
or 12 hour dives on particularly interesting or deep water dive sites, as
staffing allows. ROV operations will focus in depths between 250 and 6,000
meters and will include high-resolution visual surveys and limited sample
collection. Mapping operations will be conducted in 250m of water and deeper,
and include transit and overnight multibeam, water column backscatter, and
sub-bottom data collection. Opportunistic CTD rosette operations may be
requested to collect more information about the environmental parameters at ROV
dives sites, or opportunistically at selected sites where collecting the data is
considered important to understanding the physical or chemical properties of the
overlying water column.
