on Antarctic Expedition, 1971Photography by Edvard
Hemmingsen, reproduced courtesy of Dr.National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) for
experimental biology, owned and operated by the Scripps Institution of
Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, from February 1966 to August
1980.The concept for the vessel was proposed to Scripps
Institution in 1958 by Dr.Scholander concluded that many fundamental
biological problems could best be investigated by teams of competent scientists
supported by the advanced technology and equipment of a floating laboratory.The
ship was proposed by Dr.June 30, 1962, August 22,
1963, and August 5, 1964 to the Regents of the University of California for
support of the Construction and Operation of Biological Laboratory Ship and
Associated Shore Facility.This project is under the direction of P.The only statement of the mission of
the ship in the granting instruments is the following, from Director Alan T.The prime objective of this proposal is the creation of a unique facility for
experimental studies of organisms associated with the oceanic environment.Its
focal point is a laboratory ship with supporting home based laboratories and
technical facilities which would provide experimental biologists, both here and
abroad, with the opportunity to apply their wits and various skills to the many
tasks which can be handled only by a well equipped laboratory on the site of the
natural habitat.Alpha Helix which had been serving as a
national facility since its inception, but rather it recognized the ship's role
within the UNOLS framework.Alpha Helix was part of the research fleet of SIO,
maintained and operated by the Marine Facilities Division and managed through
the Ships Operations and Marine Technical Support Division.Ship operating costs
were distributed in accordance with the approved fleet allocation formula and
support for Alpha Helix operations was included in grants, contracts, and other
agreements for support of the SIO fleet.The vessel was designed by L.Great Barrier Reef of Australia.The three
laboratories are airconditioned and well equipped with many laboratory
instruments.The board was composed of
eminent scientists from various American institutions.Originally it consisted of physiologists and
biochemists, however, in 1970 half of its members were biological
oceanographers.The function of the board was to assure that the ship was
utilized according to the highest national and scientific standards.Professor Per Scholander conceived the
Alpha Helix as providing a milieu in which teams of recognized
international scientists could live together as they attacked fundamental
biomedical problems.Usually three or four consecutive expeditions were carried out each
year with required field operations of three months per expedition.Guadalupe Island, Mexico, 1970, and the Eastern Pacific, 1970.The Eastern
Pacific Expedition consisted of six separate programs with a chief scientist
heading each program.Dunson was on the
fourth leg of the expedition, which started from San Diego enroute to Panama.Programs were conceived in terms of fairly broad subject areas of experimental
biology to promote interaction among participants and facilitate technical
preparations for specialized equipment.The field report title was Physiological
Ecology of the Sea Snake Pelamis platurus.This report included studies
of the mechanisms of tolerance of the sea snake Pelamis to changing
temperature and salinity including studies of the newly discovered salt gland.Also examined were oceanographic factors that limit the movement of the snakes
along the coast and reproduction and population dynamics.Each member of the expedition was requested to write an abstract of their
scientific accomplishments before leaving the ship.The final scientific papers were
published in journals of the author's choice.The ship operation grant
covered expenses of the vessel.Membership consisted of
seven scientists, one scientist from Scripps Institution.The Alpha Helix Program Management Office (PMO) was established by Scripps
Institution and provided administrative logistical support and shipboard
continuity for the laboratory researchers who used the ship, participated in
cruise planning and coordinated operational and budgetary requirements with
other SIO operations staff and provided general staff support to UNOLS and AHRC
in all matters pertaining to the Alpha Helix program.The PMO provided
information and advice to researchers preparing preliminary proposals to AHRC or
project support proposals to funding agencies, maintained the accounts of ship
time, equipment, applications and safety requirements.The PMO provided the
associate director and Marine Facilities Division (MARFAC) with budget estimates
and justification for the support proposal for PMO.During and
following a cruise the PMO ensured that reporting, specimen and data sharing and
publication commitments were met.The PMO staff received general supervision and
guidance from the SIO associate director, and kept that office informed, on a
regular basis, of its activities.UNOLS and the AHRC, scientists, ship users and funding
agencies.The PMO staff consisted of one administrative assistant and two marine
technicians who reported to the program manager.Alpha Helix were Walter W.Schneider, from December 1971 to June 1976; Tom F.Dennis Michael Popp, from July 1976 to March 1980 and John Thomas
Boaz, from January 1977 to May 1980.Also, Alexander Frances Strickland worked
as a staff volunteer from 1978 to 1979.Garey was appointed by the director of Scripps Institution of
Oceanography to be the program manager of the Program Management Office.He worked part time
as a physiologist at Scripps.His duties as program manager
concluded in the early spring of 1980, when the Alpha Helix program was
discontinued.Alpha Helix
and to represent the University of California, San Diego, Scripps
Institution of Oceanography and Alpha Helix program in all matters of policy and
long term goals as well as overall supervision of the Program Management Office.Alpha Helix expeditions during its fifteen years of
service to the University of California, San Diego.From March to November, 1966, scientists aboard the research vessel Alpha
Helix conducted biological and physiological research on tropical mangroves,
reef corals, and sea and land animals at the Great Barrier Reef of Australia.Scientists on the Amazon Expedition conducted research at the Brazilian
Amazon Basin, near the Rio Negro and Rio Branco Rivers from February through
December 1967.Research teams investigated behavioral and evolutionary
transitions of fish and animal life, insects and tropical fruits in their
various environments.Chief scientists were George A.During 1970, eight research efforts involving physiological,
biochemical, and biological oceanographic studies were conducted in the coastal
waters off western North and South America under Chief Scientists Richard W.From January to February 1971, Chief Scientist Edvard A.Hemmingsen carried
out physiological studies of mammals, birds, and fishes during the Antarctica
Expedition.Biological oceanographic and physiological
investigations on sharks, whales, and squid were studied by Chief Scientists
Reuben Lasker, Gerald L.Bering
Sea with Chief Scientists Robert W.Nine research efforts were carried out in the North Pacific and off western
North America during 1974.The work carried out ranged from mass spectrometric analyses of
halogen incorporation in marine plants and invertebrates to biomedical
investigations of the degenerative processes of migrating and spawning
salmon.McNab, multidisciplinary coral reef research under William A.This
expedition ended on December 1975.The Joint II Expedition had several legs.Alpha Helix transited the Panama Canal, to Belem and up to the
tributaries of the Amazon River to begin phase I, legs I and II of the Amazon
Expedition with John M.Edmond in charge of a geochemical sampling and sediment
load study program.In November and December 1976, phase IV
was under way with Austen F.Riggs leading a group in equilibrium and kinetic
studies of various Amazonian fish.In January 1977, an international team of
physiologists and ophthalmologists, under the leadership of J.Nicol studied
the structure, function, and retinal pigments of the eyes of fish and freshwater
dolphin during phase V.Phase VI included a one month run upriver, from Manaus
to Iquitos, led by Ghillean T.Prance during which disc gel electrophoresis of
riverbank plants was accomplished.Alpha Helix proceeded northwest along the
northern coast of Southern America while zooplankton collections and
hydrographic observations were being made under the direction of Abraham
Fleminger.John Faulkner's direction
for a three week scuba diving investigation of aegal and animal life on the
coastal and offshore coralline reefs.During phase II, Chief Scientist Clement L.In
December 1977, phase III, Audrey Haschemeyer and colleagues continued the
examination of fish for studies in protein synthesis.Late in January 1978, at
Academy Bay, Galapagos Islands, Lanna Cheng, chief scientist of phase IV studied
the physiology and behavior of the water strider Halobates and the
prochlorophytic alga Prochloron.Pacific
Expedition under Kenneth L.Rinehart, species of marine life were examined for
antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral substances.Newman directed phase VI, in coastal sampling to collect and examine
provincial and not so provincial barnacles, sponges, and decapod crustaceans.Alpha Helix
was in the Galapagos to investigate marine iguanas under George A.During phase X, Abraham Fleminger, chief scientist, sampled
zooplankton on station profiles in the nearshore waters off Mexico in a joint
program with Mexican investigators.Alpha Helix with Scripps
Institution of Oceanography ended on November 1979, under Chief Scientist John
Arnold's direction at Tannon Channel, Philippines.It was fitting that the main
emphasis of the last expedition was the same as the designer's original intent
for this floating laboratory: physiology.The AHRC
recommended that an ad hoc Committee be established by the Advisory
Counsel of UNOLS to discuss possible remedies and future courses of action for
the vessel.Unless a marked change
in funded activity from U.Alpha Helix field program will not be in effect after
early early 1980.Principal
Investigator who headed the program as part of his Associate Director's duties.Alpha Helix by the Regents of the
University of California to the government occurred in January 1980.If the vessel is returned to the NSF
they personally will go through their usual procedure of advertising the vessel
and it will be assigned in a regular priority fashion to the appropriate bidder,
or, in other words, the next institution in line.National Oceanographic Laboratory System are still
very much involved with the program.The Alpha Helix Expedition to New
