ROV Rock Drill System
The National Science Foundation has recently awarded a grant to Maurice Tivey
and Dan Fornari at WHOI to provide operational oversight and coordination
for the use of a ROV-based drilling system on Jason2 for the US science
community (NSF-OCE-0531466). The drill system was developed and
operated for the last decade by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research
Institute (MBARI) and has now been transferred to WHOI through the
purchase made possible by the NSF funding. MBARI is collaborating
in the transfer of the drill technology and operational expertise
required to use it.
