[Exports_survey_ship] Agenda for tomorrow's survey ship meeting

[Craig M. Lee]

Hi All,

Dave and I pulled together a brief agenda for tomorrow’s 10:00 PST/13:00 EST survey ship meeting. We envision this as an hour for discussion and questions, with a focus on:

(1) Lab assignments - Please review the '2021 DY131 Synthesized Group Needs.gsheet’ on the Google drive:
https://docs.google.com/open?id=1-vNcVIEbztnQhZcV5HmvkjZVjqMwbINqBYHGSsWvDP4&authuser=craiglee%40uw.edu&usp=drive_fs <https://docs.google.com/open?id=1-vNcVIEbztnQhZcV5HmvkjZVjqMwbINqBYHGSsWvDP4&authuser=craiglee@uw.edu&usp=drive_fs>
In the next-to-last column, you’ll find our first cut at lab assignments. We’ll take a walk through Discovery schematics tomorrow, and you can find them here:
https://drive.google.com/open?id=1H3M_4u2r1hb-TWoCmB2Dp-1rBXr0T21b&authuser=craiglee%40uw.edu&usp=drive_fs <https://drive.google.com/open?id=1H3M_4u2r1hb-TWoCmB2Dp-1rBXr0T21b&authuser=craiglee@uw.edu&usp=drive_fs>
Squaring your stated needs against the available labs, it looks like there’s ample space. We’ve tried to take into account hoods, sinks, access to the work deck, location relative to seawater feeds, etc. when assigning labs. We have not attempted to assign specific benches, as this seem better optimized through discussion with your lab mates, after actually seeing the spaces. Please review your assignments - we can discuss during the call.

(2) Certifications - Verify that everyone either has medical and safety certs in hand, or has a concrete plan for securing them.

(3) Hazmat waste and rad waste - Please enter waste types and volumes in the  '2021 DY131 Synthesized Group Needs.gsheet’ sheet (see link in (1) above). We need this information asap.

(4) Shifts and coverage - Does each group that needs to sample 24x7 have a plan for sustaining the necessary work schedule?

(5) Berthing - One double, on the boat deck, with its own head. The rest are singles, mostly with shared heads. If anyone wants to volunteer for the double, please email me. Otherwise, we’ll be making berthing assignments soon.

(6) Other topics? Questions?

We have a mix of seagoing experience in the survey ship team, and thought it might be useful to include some notes on what to bring. Expect air temperatures in the mid-50’s (F), with wind and precipitation (North Atlantic in late spring). Ships are hard on clothing, so bring things you don’t mind getting damaged and soiled (grease, rust, etc). In addition to the usual range of clothing and toiletries...
Everyone must bring:
- Hard hat
- Steel toed boots. Wellingtons (rubber boots) are great for wet work (e.g. water sampling) but can be clumsy for deck work, where steel toed work boots serve better. Steel toed boots will be required when working on deck, so you must bring at least one or the other of these.
- Close-toed shoes for interior spaces.
Other Essentials:
- Foul weather gear or other waterproof jacket and bibs/pants.
- Layers to keep you warm and comfortable over a range of temperatures. Recommend synthetics in wet conditions.
- Work gloves (for protection and/or warmth)
- Warm hat
- Ball cap or other sun hat
- Sunglasses
- Sunscreen (wishful thinking?)
- Sufficient supply of any necessary medications - enough to last beyond the planned duration of the cruise
Good to Have:
- Deck knife or multitool
- Headlamp or flashlight w/extra batteries
- Work vest or float coat (the ship can provide vests, but often nice to have your own)
- Exercise clothes, running shoes, yoga mats
- Laundry bag (for hauling laundry around the ship - one of those small things that makes life easier)
- Water bottle
- Travel mug
- US-UK plug adapters
- Spare eye glasses
- Camera
- Ethernet cable and adapter (for connecting in staterooms)
- Seasickness meds 
- Entertainment (books, music, games, movies).
- Treats (good coffee, tea, chocolate, etc)
- Brewing devices (for coffee or tea)
Remember that you’ll have only what you bring, so think ahead. COVID will complicate the usual last-minute shopping run, so best not to count on procuring things in Southampton.
