Data Trawler - Survey Details

FR 03/2000 (alternative identifier: FR200003)    - is a Marine National Facility voyage

Period: 2000-04-13 00:00 to 2000-05-03 00:00 Local

Duration: 20.00 days

From: Cairns To: Rabaul

Region: Papua New Guinea waters (Bismarck Sea and adjacent regions)

Ship: Franklin [details]

Description: The following information is taken from the voyage plan:
The principal aim is to collect samples from actively-forming seafloor hydrothermal deposits in the eastern Manus Basin, PNG, from which microbes will be extracted and cultured for use in a new CSIRO multidivisional research initiative "Biological Applications in Mining and Mineral Processing.
A second objective is to deploy and test several deep-submergence geophysical sensors being developed in CSIRO to facilitate future seafloor mineral exploration and mining.
Finally, geological investigations arising from results of the PACMANUS cruises (1991-97) will be conducted, including surveys of two sites where there are strong indications of as-yet undiscovered hydrothermal fields; a repeat survey of the exceptionally intense SuSu Knolls hydrothermal plume to delineate changes since 1993-1997 measurements; frther collections of diffusely vented fluids using the VUNL (constructed for FR-09/97) at the Snowcap, North Su and South Su sites; photography of proposed ODP drill sites; and CTD -transmissometer surveys to test for possible hydrothermal activity near faults within sediment-filled grabens in St Georges Channel
