Description
This project proposes using two autonomous underwater vehicles for exploration of hydrocarbon seeps, deep-water corals, and mineral resources along the alaskan/aleutian exclusive economic zone (EEZ) and margins, identified as a region containing minerals critical to U.S. Economic and security needs. The authors propose to join an already-funded, 18-day national science foundation program on the r/v atlantis and with human occupied vehicle alvin investigating known seeps in the EEZ, then aim to locate, chemically characterize, and map expressions of unknown chemical environments and benthic communities; employ new sensors and samplers, including high-resolution methane sensors and a push core sampler; produce fine-scale, 3-dimensional seafloor reconstructions and maps from down looking 4K resolution video imagery; and ground truth multibeam data. Expected outcomes of this project include engagement with native alaskan communities; high resolution seafloor maps and mosaics; discovery of…
