  1. Development of a Long Term Observatory Based on ESONET, VENUS, MARS and NEPTUNE Sponsored by StatOil To quantify fluid flow and carbon/methane oxidation To develop long term monitoring observatories for oil/gas industry Educational outreach and publicity

  2. Development of a cabled long term observatory Quantification of fluid flow and carbon/methane oxidation Investigation of seismic activity, plate deformation and fluid and gas release Educational outreach The central lander will be equipped with 1 CTD 1 down-looking profiling ADCP for hydrodynamic 1 up-looking single point flow meter 1 in situ filtration with 21 filters for particle measurements 1 sediment trap with settling tube 1 sonar to detect gas bubbles 1 pan/tilt/zoom web cam for monitoring and video mosaicking Connection to a seismometer network

  3. The IRCCM cabled observatory 1 Ongoing real-time basic environmental data (boundary layer structure and currents, flow rate and composition of venting fluids, status of benthic communities)

  4. IRCCM – integrated data management RDBs Data producers Monitoring devices, Crawler etc. Interface-Software on Server File based archiving Parser WS client Data Exchange Formats (XML,Text) mail, http Yellowish parts to be implemented. Existing parts are blue/green WS = web service (SOAP/WSDL) Exploitation, analysis WDC-MARE / PANGAEA DOI = Digital Object Identifier WS Import GIS & modelling environments WS Export WS client Longterm data archiving & publishing facilities Dissemination Offline products PANGAEA search engine On line map servers library catalogues Web-Page DOIregistry (CD / DVD) (10/2004 as WS client) Community www.pangaea.de

  5. The Monterey Bay Canyon Seismic survey Detailled bottom topography Online data transfer OBH underwater network Methods In situ robotics within long term ocean bottom instrumentation Online control via cable Applications and questions Enhanced 3D visualization of multi parameter dataset Slow versus fast flow Are the estimates correct ? Hydroacoustic studies Fluid, methane flow/ tectonic movement Carbon mineralization rates Static versus dynamic process Lateral export of the carbon Vertical export of methane (ground thruthing of satellite data) Use of the techniques for the development of a European network of underwater platforms Educational outreach by IRCCM MBARI The first stage of the network will consist of 62 km (39.5 miles) of submarine cable and a single science node located 1,200 meters (almost 4,000 feet) below the ocean surface. The node will have four separate ports (docking stations) for oceanographic instruments. Each port will support bi-directional data transfers of up to 100 Mbits per second—comparable with some of the fastest land-based commercial data networks. The cable will also supply up to 10 kilowatts of power to the instruments-enough power to supply a small neighborhood, and several orders of magnitude more power than could be supplied using batteries alone

  6. Current status (9/04): 1 crawler with benthic flow simulation chamber and optode 1 crawler with Schlieren optic for diffusive flow rates plus CTD, Methane sensor, 1 crawler with microsensors for microprofiles (Jan. 05) Central Lander equipped with downlooking ADCP, CTD, turbidity, fluorometer, sediment trap, settling cylinder, pump, Current modifications of crawler motors, and control software
