A proposal is made to fund instrumentation on the R/V Marcus Langseth, a 235’ Global seismic vessel with general oceanographic capabilities. The vessel is owned by Columbia University and operated by Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University under a cooperative agreement with NSF. The Langseth is unique in the Academic Fleet in that it provides a combination of capabilities for imaging the oceans, the seafloor and the solid earth beneath the sea. It is the only vessel in the world dedicated to academic research that can conduct 3D seismic surveys as well as extended offset 2D surveys. The tuned, linear source array, consisting of up to 36 airguns, with a total capacity of 6,600 cu in is also unique asset of this vessel.All of the requested equipment in this proposal is for upgrading existing systems. Instrumentation requested in this proposal includes:Seamap BuoyLink 4DX GNSS Source Tracking system $224,016Cisco Meraki computer Network vessel-wide upgrade $36,135Seamap Near Field Hydrophones and HVRU $43,215 $303,366Broader ImpactsThe principal impact of the present proposal is under Merit Review Criterion 2 of the Proposal Guidelines (NSF 19-602). It provides infrastructure support for scientists to use the vessel and its shared-use instrumentation in support of their NSF-funded oceanographic research projects (which individually undergo separate review by the relevant research program of NSF). The acquisition, maintenance and operation of shared-use instrumentation allows NSF-funded researchers from any US university or lab access to working, calibrated instruments for their research, reducing the cost of that research, and expanding the base of potential researchers.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.

提议为 R/V Marcus Langseth 的仪器提供资金，这是一艘具有一般海洋学能力的 235 英尺全球地震船，该船由哥伦比亚大学拥有，并根据与 NSF 的合作协议由哥伦比亚大学拉蒙特-多尔蒂地球观测站运营。 Langseth 在学术舰队中是独一无二的，因为它提供了对海洋、海底和海底固体成像的能力的组合，它是世界上唯一能够进行学术研究的船只。 3D 地震勘测以及扩展偏移 2D 勘测由多达 36 个气枪组成，总容量为 6,600 立方英寸，也是该船的独特资产。本提案中要求的所有设备都是该提案中要求升级现有系统的仪器包括：Seamap BuoyLink 4DX GNSS 源跟踪系统 224,016 美元思科 Meraki 计算机网络全船升级$36,135Seamap 近场水听器和 HVRU $43,215 $303,366 更广泛的影响 当前提案的主要影响是根据提案指南（NSF 19-602）的优点审查标准 2 它为科学家使用该船及其共享仪器提供基础设施支持。支持其 NSF 资助的海洋学研究项目（这些项目分别接受相关研究计划的单独审查） NSF）共享仪器的采购、维护和操作使任何美国大学或实验室的 NSF 资助的研究人员都可以使用经过校准的工作仪器进行研究，从而降低研究成本并扩大潜在研究人员的基础。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。
