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 Remainders of the rocks have been archived at the Perth Core Library, 37 Harris Street, Carlisle, WA 6101 phone [phone].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“澳大利亚大海湾（Great Australian Bight，GAB）深水地质与底栖生态计划”宪章科考航次——调查者号（RV Investigator）IN2015_C01航次所开展的各项作业及采集的地质样品数据。本次宪章航次于2015年10月22日至11月28日实施，航行区间为霍巴特至林肯港，总历时34天。本次航次取得圆满成功：来自7家科研机构的37名研究人员与船舶船员团队，在17个目标作业区域完成128项科考作业，作业水深范围覆盖700米至5437米。航次部署了多样化的大型科考设备，充分发挥了调查者号（RV Investigator）的科考作业能力，其中部分设备的部署深度创下了澳大利亚乃至全球同类作业的新纪录。本次采集的数据与样品极大填补了迄今GAB深水区域地质与生物样品数据稀疏的空白。此次航次共采集超过1.36吨岩石样品与15.2米沉积岩芯。本记录包含本次科考期间记录的全部相关数据，包括作业活动日志、观测日志、操作日志、声学接触日志、通用摄影日志、采集地质样品描述、生物捕获点位信息、分析用样品详情、每日科考报告、项目细节，以及界定每日报告周期的每日“航次”详情。用户可通过下方的分发链接访问并下载地质样品、岩芯及声学接触相关的图像或文档资料。本次航次采集的岩石样品已部分取样用于地球化学分析，剩余岩石样品已归档于西澳大利亚州卡莱尔市哈里斯街37号珀斯岩芯库，联系电话：[phone]。
