Science programs on Healy requiring a general
purpose lab van or an isotope lab van are advised to contact
the Healy
Marine Science Coordinator to ensure that a UNOLS
van pool request is initiated as soon as possible. In
2009 NSF funded the construction of a UNOLS general purpose
van and an isotope van which are intended for Arctic use
and Healy has the first right of refusal. Other
vans are first come first serve so it is advised to identify
the need early in the cruise planning process. The ultimate
responsibility for obtaining a van is with the PI of the
project itself.
The Chief scientist and PIs are encouraged to review
the UNOLS
VAN SHARED-USE AGREEMENT) In the case of deploying
a UNOLS shared use van on Healy the “User”
is defined as: the Principal Investigator and his/her
science project itself.
UNOLS van pool schedules can be found at-
West
Coast Van pool
East Coast
Van pool
It is important to note that stable isotope laboratory
work is not permitted inside the skin of the ship and
therefore a UNOLS isotope van, or equivalent, will be
required.
