EX2103: 2021 ROV Shakedown (ROV & Mapping)

This Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) shakedown expedition aboard NOAA Ship Okeanos Explorer began in Norfolk, Virginia on June 13, 2021 and concluded on June 28, 2021 in Newport, Rhode Island. This was the first time the ROVs Deep Discoverer and Seirios were mobilized and used for ROV dives since the extensive 2021 winter dry dock repair period. While underway, 24âhour operations focused on preparing remotely operated vehicle (ROV) systems for the remainder of 2021 expeditions. Extensive testing, calibration, and troubleshooting was completed for new ROV motors, motor controllers, cameras, lighting, hydraulic systems, and a navigational sonar during 11 ROV dives. The first five dives progressively got to deeper depths ranging from 670 m to 4370 m with the primary objective of new equipment integration and personnel training. The following five dives were conducted on Caryn Seamount, and the mid-Atlantic canyons Toms, Hudson (twice), and Uchupi. The last dive of the expedition was on a recently discovered sonar anomaly that turned out to be a World War II era submarine, the HumaitÃ¡ (ex-USS Muskallunge). Five biological and three geological samples were collected for later analyses from Caryn Seamount and the mid-Atlantic canyons. Mapping operations during the expedition included continued calibrating and troubleshooting of the ship's new EM304 multibeam sonar and transducer array. Additional mapping operations included improving multibeam bathymetry in previously mapped areas, sub-bottom sonar surveys conducted on the Currituck landslide feature off of North Carolina, EK60 water column sonar survey of the diurnal migration above Hudson Canyon, and searching for underwater cultural heritage sites by observing sonar depth and backscatter anomalies.

EX2206: Voyage to the Ridge 3 (ROV and Mapping)

From August 6 - September 2, 2022 (Horta, Faial, Azores to San Juan, Puerto Rico) NOAA Ocean Exploration completed the Voyage to the Ridge 3 expedition (EX-22-06), a combined mapping and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) expedition to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Azores Plateau, Mid-Atlantic Ridge, and U.S. waters in the vicinity of Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Operations during this 28-day expedition included the completion of 9 successful ROV exploration dives in the vicinity of the Azores, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge south of the Azores, and Puerto Rico. ROV dives were conducted in water depths ranging from 250 m to 6000 m for a total of 41 hours of bottom time. EX-22-06 also collected 56,769 square kilometers of seafloor bathymetry and associated water column data using an EM304 multibeam sonar. All data associated with this expedition have been archived and are publicly available through the NOAA Archives.

DEEP SEARCH: Deep Sea Exploration to Advance Research on Coral/Canyon/Cold Seep Habitats

The NF-19-09 expedition on board the NOAA Ship Nancy Foster was part of the multi-year Deep SEARCH project. This cruise occurred from October 21 to  October 30, 2019. The cruise will focus on several seep sites, canyons, and hard bottom features located less than 100 nm offshore. This is the third research expedition associated with the Deep SEARCH project focused on exploring and characterizing seeps, corals, and canyon environments along the Atlantic margin. This project is a collaboration among three federal agencies: Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM), NOAA Office of Ocean Exploration and Research (OER), and the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). TDI Brooks with academic partners has been selected to serve as BOEM contractor for this study. Data gathered during this mission and past cruises for this project will help inform multiple management issues concerning this region. The goal of this expedition was to recover benthic lander deployments, conduct mid-water trawling of the deep-scattering layer, collect water samples for christry and microbial diversity analyses, perform multibeam mapping at specific targeted areas, and collect sediment, water, and faunal samples for eDNA work.

Location Affordability Index

The Location Affordability Index is an indicator of housing and transportation costs at the neighborhood level.  It gives the percentage of a given family's income estimated to be spent on housing and transportation costs in a given location for eight different household profiles.  It is calculated using actual and modeled data for Census block groups in all 942 Combined Base Statistical Areas, which cover 94% of the U.S. population.

EX2205: Voyage to the Ridge 2 (ROV and Mapping)

From July 9-30, 2022 (Norfolk, VA to Horta, Faial, Azores) NOAA Ocean Exploration completed the Voyage to the Ridge 2 expedition (EX-22-05), a combined mapping and remotely operated vehicle (ROV) expedition to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and Azores Plateau. Operations during this 22-days at sea expedition included the completion of 10 successful ROV exploration dives in the vicinity the Azores and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge north of the Azores. ROV dives were conducted in water depths ranging from 420 m to 3350 m for a total of almost 53 hours of bottom time.

EX2208: EXPRESS: West Coast Exploration 1 (Mapping)

From October 16-November 3, 2022 (San Diego, California to Newport, Oregon), NOAA Ocean Exploration conducted mapping operations off the coast of California and Oregon in U.S. waters, aiding in closing bathymetric gaps within this region. Expedition EX-22-08 collected 32,416 square kilometers of bathymetry and associated water column data, 22,313 square kilometers of which were within the U.S. Exclusive Economic Zone and Territorial Sea deeper than 200 m, while 10,104 square kilometers were collected in international waters. During mapping operations, NOAA Ocean Exploration simultaneously collected EM 304 multibeam sonar bathymetry observations and Simrad EK60/EK80 split-beam fisheries sonar observations of biologic material in the water column, as well as Knudsen 3260 sub-bottom profiler observations of sub-seafloor geologic structure and sediment. A detailed sub-bottom survey targeted previously-identified sponge reefs in the Channel Islands National Marine Sanctuary. The exploratory mapping operations conducted during this cruise will provide initial characterization of the region, as well as data to support further exploration.

Chile Triple Junction 2012: NE Lau Basin on Scripps							Research Vessel Roger Revelle between 20120909 and							20120926

The Submarine Ring of Fire 2012 cruise will use the University
					of Bremen Quest 4000 remotely operated vehicle to locate, map and sample
					hydrothermal sites at seamounts and spreading centers in the Lau Basin. The
					sites were discovered by water column surveys, camera tows and prior dives with
					a remotely operated vehicle during cruises funded by NOAA, NSF and Nautilus
					Minerals Inc. in the past 8 years. They range in depth from ~750 to ~2600 m. We
					expect to visit 10 to 13 sites during the cruise. When the ROV is not in the
					water we will conduct other operations including multibeam surveys (with
					concurrent towed magnetometer, gravimeter, ADCP, and HDSS), CTD vertical and
					towed hydrocasts generally at locations close to the planned targets.

Okeanos Explorer (EX0801): Mapping Operations Shakedown

Okeanos Explorer Shakedown cruise: 1) Ensuring all mapping systems and components are fully operational after the prerequisite multibeam testing, patch testing and system integration have been completed, and determine the connectivity and readiness of all system components and any ancillary hardware. This includes devising a checklist for assessing system readiness. 2) Evaluating the draft data pipeline in which acquired data is archived, retrieved and processed. This will require monitoring data healthiness throughout the pipeline via appropriate quality assurance procedures, creating data tracking sheets, and troubleshooting any problems to improve efficiency or gaps. 3) Assessing the automated metadata management system, Cruise Information Management System (CIMS), and field testing the Science Computer System (SCS). 4) Testing the capabilities of the multibeam system by acquiring data in various sea states and at different depths, and determining if any inherent problems exist, such as bubble sweep-down, and if so, characterize its severity and possible cause. 5) Generating mapping products based on the feedback from OER's March Mapping Workshop. This includes completing the entire data deliverables package before the ship returns to port.
