Lake Tanganyika Scientific Drilling Site SurveyThis grant will support a site survey to Lake Tanganyika with marine engineers and continental scientific drilling personnel to finalize and verify proposals and a budget for drilling Lake Tanganyika for submission to the International Continental Drilling Program and the NSF in 2019/2020.This grant will support a site visit to Lake Tanganyika with marine engineers and continental scientific drilling personnel to finalize and verify proposals and a budget for drilling Lake Tanganyika for submission to the International Continental Drilling Program and the NSF in 2019/2020. The grant will support the following on-site requisite work:1) Evaluate existing vessels on Lake Tanganyika and their suitability for use as drilling ship, evaluate existing marine shipyards and their capabilities (dry dock, etc.) to modify vessels on the lake, and to develop a budget for these activities;2) Evaluate on-and off-shore housing for scientists and drillers and sites for a core laboratory;3) Evaluate smaller vessels and work boats on the lake to determine their suitability to serve as personnel and crew transport vessels, and determine costs for these;4) Identify local contractors for fuel supply, personnel transport, food, banking, and other services, and obtain costsfor those services;5) Obtain up-to-date information on research and drilling permitting procedures for Tanganyika.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

坦噶尼喀湖科学钻探现场调查这笔赠款将支持海洋工程师和大陆科学钻探人员对坦噶尼喀湖进行现场调查，以最终确定和核实坦噶尼喀湖钻探提案和预算，并于 2019/2020 年提交给国际大陆钻探计划和美国国家科学基金会这笔赠款将支持海洋工程师和大陆科学钻探人员对坦噶尼喀湖进行实地考察，以最终确定和核实坦噶尼喀湖钻探提案和预算，并提交给国际组织2019/2020 年大陆钻探计划和 NSF。该赠款将支持以下现场必要工作：1）评估坦噶尼喀湖上的现有船舶及其作为钻井船的适用性，评估现有的海洋造船厂及其改造湖上船舶的能力（干船坞等），并为这些活动制定预算；2) 评估科学家和钻探人员的陆上和离岸住房以及核心实验室的场地；3) 评估湖上的小型船只和工作船，以确定它们是否适合充当人员和船员运输船舶，并确定这些费用；4) 确定燃料供应、人员运输、食品、银行和其他服务的当地承包商，并获取这些服务的成本；5) 获取有关研究和钻探许可程序的最新信息坦噶尼喀。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
