Acknowledgments

The success of the CORK effort during ODP could not have been possible without the outstanding engineering support we have enjoyed. Most important to this effort have been T. Pettigrew of the Ocean Drilling Program and R. Macdonald and R. Meldrum of the Geological Survey of Canada. Many other engineers have contributed, including M. Storms, L. Holloway, and W. Rhinehart and others of the Ocean Drilling Program, and, for the wireline CORK, R. Zimmerman, G. Austin, and others of the Marine Physical Lab, Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Also important has been the support provided by the submersible pilots and engineers for the vehicles we have used and the officers and crews of the ships from which these vehicles were deployed. We acknowledge the support provided by the representatives of the many vendors who supplied components for the CORK installations. We also wish to highlight the important role played by scientific collaborators who are too numerous to list here but are co-authors on the relevant CORK publications; first of these was B. Carson, who teamed with us as co-investigator for the initial CORK installations. This summary, particularly its organization, was greatly improved following careful reviews by B. Dugan and A. Fisher. Finally, we are grateful for the consistent funding and supportive program managers we have enjoyed since 1990 for our roles in the overall CORK effort from the Geological Survey of Canada, the National Science Foundation (OCE-9012344, OCE-9301995, OCE-9530426, OCE-9819316, OCE-0083156, OCE-0118478, and OCE-0400471), and JAMSTEC for submersible and support ship operations at the Nankai Trough ACORKs.
