Cruise Opportunity

Overview Opportunities are available for graduate students to participate in 2 cruises this spring as part of the US CLIVAR/CO2 Repeat Hydrography program. These are repeats of WOCE lines A22 (66°W) and A20 (52°W) aboard the UNOLS ship R/V Atlantis. The cruises are currently scheduled as described below. Responsibilities Fully funded opportunities are available for at least two graduate students to participate in the physical oceanography program for each cruise. Work with scientists to carry out CTD casts, assist with documentation and water sampling, and examine the data. Assist with the CFC/SF6 sampling and analysis program (opportunity on each cruise). Qualifications & Skills Interest in ocean chemistry or application of tracers to physical oceanographic problems for CFC/SF6 sampling roles. Training in gas chromatography will be provided. Basic computer skills are required; coursework in basic chemistry is desirable. Leadership & Supervisors Ruth Curry (WHOI) will be Chief Scientist for the A22 leg, and Mike McCartney (WHOI) will lead the A20 leg. Bill Smethie (LDEO) and Rana Fine (RSMAS) lead the CFC/SF6 sampling program. Eligibility & Selection Open to registered graduate students in good standing at US institutions. Graduate students must have approval from their graduate advisors for participation. If multiple qualified applicants exist, final selection is made by the U.S. CLIVAR/CO2 Repeat Hydrography Oversight Committee, in consultation with the Chief Scientists.
