©2020 Biological and Chemical Oceanography Data Management Office.Science activities (according to WHOI's cruise synopsis):
1) Service instrumentation at up to seven subseafloor “CORK” hydrological observatories installed by ODP in 1996 and IODP in 2004;
2) make in situ, shipboard and shore-based measurements to characterize the microbial geochemistry of the subseafloor basement (basaltic crust) utilizing subset of above 7 CORK observatories; and
3) test underwater optical communication device associated with a temperature probe deployed within a thermal vent.
