化学海洋学家在未来几十年优先考虑的问题，以及我们用来解决这些问题的方法，将决定我们的领域对21世纪科学的贡献。认识到这一点，美国国家科学基金会和国家海洋和大气管理局激发了一项社区努力（化学海洋学会议：自下而上的研究方向方法，或COME ABOARD），以综合自下而上的观点，选择化学海洋学研究领域。COME ABOARD的参与者只代表了社区的一小部分，他们并没有试图为该领域确定有针对性的研究方向。相反，我们专注于如何最好地促进化学海洋学的多样化研究，重点放在以下主题上：加强我们的核心化学技能;通过与化学家，工程师和计算机科学家的合作扩大我们的工具;考虑大型项目的新角色;通过跨学科合作加强界面研究;通过与公众接触扩大海洋素养。对于每个主题，COME ABOARD参与者都反映了化学海洋学的现状，社区希望去哪里，为什么，以及实现目标的可行途径。讨论中的一个统一概念是，可能需要不同的资金结构和成功指标，以适应整个社区的各种准备程度和知识发展阶段。除了科学，在化学海洋学（DISCO）XXV，最近和即将到来的博士会议同时论文研讨会的与会者。化学海洋学的毕业生，提供了关于我们的领域如何在解决整个科学领域普遍存在的长期多样性和早期职业挑战方面表现出领导力的观点。在这里，我们总结了“走出去”会议的讨论，提供了对该领域的思考和观点的综合。
The questions that chemical oceanographers prioritize over the coming decades, and the methods we use to address these questions, will define our field's contribution to 21st century science. In recognition of this, the U.S. National Science Foundation and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration galvanized a community effort (the Chemical Oceanography MEeting: A BOttom-up Approach to Research Directions, or COME ABOARD) to synthesize bottom-up perspectives on selected areas of research in Chemical Oceanography. Representing only a small subset of the community, COME ABOARD participants did not attempt to identify targeted research directions for the field. Instead, we focused on how best to foster diverse research in Chemical Oceanography, placing emphasis on the following themes: strengthening our core chemical skillset; expanding our tools through collaboration with chemists, engineers, and computer scientists; considering new roles for large programs; enhancing interface research through interdisciplinary collaboration; and expanding ocean literacy by engaging with the public. For each theme, COME ABOARD participants reflected on the present state of Chemical Oceanography, where the community hopes to go and why, and actionable pathways to get there. A unifying concept among the discussions was that dissimilar funding structures and metrics of success may be required to accommodate the various levels of readiness and stages of knowledge development found throughout our community. In addition to the science, participants of the concurrent Dissertations Symposium in Chemical Oceanography (DISCO) XXV, a meeting of recent and forthcoming Ph.D. graduates in Chemical Oceanography, provided perspectives on how our field could show leadership in addressing long-standing diversity and early-career challenges that are pervasive throughout science. Here we summarize the COME ABOARD Meeting discussions, providing a synthesis of reflections and perspectives on the field.
