Comments FACS ID created from InfoBank website 07/03/2012, update: Cruise report for Healy 2009 can be found at these two locations - http://ccom.unh.edu/sites/default/files/publications/Mayer 2009 cruise report HE0905.pdf and http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/curator/data/healy/hly0905/HE0905cruisereport.pdf. All ECS cruises are cataloged with extensive statistics and metadata at this NGDC ECS portal - http://www.ngdc.noaa.gov/mgg/ecs/cruises.html. General descriptive material and blogs (click on "Missions" to see list of cruises conducted with links to more info) are at - http://continentalshelf.gov. This Coast Guard site includes outreach type material from the ship - http://www.uscg.mil/pacarea/cgchealy/aws09/. 08/03/2009, report note: Cruise is currently devoted 100 % to two-icebreaker work, but this could be reduced depending on planning to take place in January. There is also a slight chance that there could be dredging (possibly using a USGS dredge from MP). Cruise is currently devoted 100% to two-icebreaker work. 18. Report Date: 11:33 8/3/2009

Geochemistry of ferromanganese crusts, nodules, and hydrothermally altered rocks from the Arctic Ocean dredge Ferromanganese crusts, nodules, and hydrothermally altered rocks were collected via dredge within the Amerasia Basin in the Arctic Ocean during USCGC icebreaker Healy cruises HLY0805, HLY0905, and HLY1202 in 2008, 2009, and 2012 respectively. Dredged samples were donated and sent to USGS for subsampling and major and trace element geochemical analyses. Major and trace element data as well as location information (latitude, longitude, depth) for each sample are provided here. Jaycee J Favela
