RV Investigator Voyage IN2015_C01 Operation and Sampling Detail Logs and Locations

This record describes the operations undertaken and geological sample data collected on the RV Investigator Charter Voyage IN2015_C01, titled "Great Australian Bight (GAB) Deep Water Geological and Benthic Ecology Program." This charter voyage took place from Hobart to Port Lincoln between the 22nd of October and the 28th of November, 2015.

The voyage, undertaken over 34 days, was a great success with 37 researchers from seven research organisations and the vessel crew undertaking 128 operations over 17 target areas in water depths ranging from 700 m to 5,437 m. The voyage deployed a diverse and large collection of instrumentation fully utilising the Investigator capabilities. This involved the deployment of some of the equipment types significantly deeper than previous deployments either in Australia or worldwide. The data and samples collected significantly augment the sparse data and sample collections within the deep water GAB to date.

Over 1.36 tons of rock and 15.2 m of sediment core were collected. This record contains data recorded during the survey including the activity log, observation log, operation log, acoustic contact log, a log of general photographs taken, descriptions of geology collected, biology catch locations, details of sample taken for analysis, daily science reports produced, project details and the daily "Trip" details which defined the daily reporting periods.

Images or documents of geological samples, cores and acoustic contacts can be accessed and downloaded via the Distribution links below.

Physical pieces of rock collected on this voyage were sampled for geochemical analysis. Remainders of the rocks have been archived at the Perth Core Library, 37 Harris Street, Carlisle, WA 6101 phone [phone].

本记录详述了RV Investigator号租船航次IN2015_C01（项目名称为“大澳大利亚湾（Great Australian Bight, GAB）深水地质与底栖生态计划”）所开展的作业及采集的地质样品数据。该租船航次于2015年10月22日至11月28日期间，从霍巴特前往林肯港。

本次航次共计34天，共有来自7家科研机构的37名研究人员与船舶船员，在17个目标区域开展了128项作业，作业水深介于700米至5437米之间，最终取得圆满成功。本次航次部署了多样化的大型仪器设备，充分发挥了Investigator号的作业能力，其中部分设备的部署深度远超澳大利亚乃至全球此前的同类作业部署深度。本次采集的数据与样品，极大充实了迄今较为匮乏的大澳大利亚湾深水区域相关数据与样品馆藏。

本次航次共采集岩石样品逾1.36吨，沉积物岩芯总长15.2米。本记录包含本次调查期间记录的各类数据，具体包括作业日志、观测日志、操作日志、声学接触日志、常规摄影日志、采集地质样品描述、生物捕获位置信息、分析用样品采集详情、每日科学报告、项目详情，以及界定每日报告周期的每日"航次行程"详情。
