water-column measurements.

Are there special considerations of the science party or cruise scheduling?     
Consider science time constraints; coordination of equipment shipping;          
two-ship operations; weather windows; mooring turn-around; teaching schedules   
and others that will affect scheduling decisions.

We will bring an sediment-core X-ray system approved by the LSU radiation       
safety office. This unit is most safely operated in a radiation van, but can be 
used in a lab area, because it is shielded. This is the reason the van box is   
marked abot: we will NOT bring any radioactive materials.                       
                                                                                
We would like to use the LUMCON spade-type boxcore, and will provide our own    
CTD's, gravity cores, and piston cores.
