Cruise Inventory Information
| Long name | RV Cirolana (74CZ) cruise CIR9/86 |
|---|---|
| Short name | CIR9/86 |
| Objectives and Narrative |
1. To investigate the horizontal and vertical distributions of macrofauna and meiofauna in the sediments of the Irish Sea using Reineck and Kaston cores and the towed, sledge-mounted TV camera. To collect specimens of Callianassa subterranea for laboratory studies of bioturbation.
2. To investigate the physico-chemical conditions in sediment pore waters and how these affect the behaviour of radionuclides. 3. To collect water and sediment samples to investigate the rates of scavenging of the natural radionuclides Th-234 and Pb-210. 4. To collect water, suspended load, sediment and fish for C-14 analysis. 5. To measure the concentrations and chemical speciation of the transuranic radionuclides in the seawater at the outfall. 6. To measure currents and suspended load over a tidal cycle at two anchored stations. 7. To make CTD sections as time allows. 8. To recover seven current meter moorings. 9. To sample plaice and dabs off Sellafield and in Dundrum Bay for fish disease studies. |
