在大多数主要海洋学机构，获得物理海洋学博士学位的妇女比例接近35-40%;然而，具有首席研究员地位的妇女人数仍然相当低。2005年对16所大学/机构以及两个政府实验室进行的一项调查发现，在副学士级别的物理海洋学家中，女性占19%，这一职位被认为是由1991年至1999年获得博士学位的人担任的。联合海洋学研究所1988年至2001年的平均入学数据显示，妇女占海洋学研究生的近35%。这些统计数据意味着，在此期间，女性的留存率只有男性的一半。本章介绍了指导物理海洋学妇女，以增加保留（MPOWIR）计划，侧重于指导的作用，在职业生涯的早期阶段的年轻科学家。MPOWIR的主要目标是：（1）提供从年轻女性的研究生生涯到博士后生涯再到长期工作初期的连续性指导;（2）在物理海洋学领域内建立集体而不是个人责任，以指导初级女性;（3）为一系列问题提供各种指导资源和导师;（4）广撒网，避免排他性;（5）向所有自认为是物理海洋学家的人开放这个项目。到目前为止，MPOWIR的影响对提高妇女的保留率非常积极。第122章干扰和个人策略
The proportion of women receiving their PhD in physical oceanography has approached 35–40% at most major oceanographic institutions; however, the number of women with principal investigator status remains fairly low. A 2005 survey of 16 universities/institutions, as well as two government laboratories, found that women comprise 19% of the physical oceanographers in associate-level positions—a position assumed to be held by those who attained their PhDs between 1991 and 1999. Enrollment data from Joint Oceanographic Institutions (JOIs), averaged from 1988 to 2001, show that women constituted nearly 35% of oceanography graduate students. These statistics imply that the retention rate for women was half that for men over this time period. This chapter describes the Mentoring Physical Oceanography Women to Increase Retention (MPOWIR) program, which focuses on the role of mentoring in the early career stages of a young scientist. The primary objectives of MPOWIR are to (1) provide continuity of mentoring from a young woman’s graduate career, through her postdoctoral years to the early years of her permanent job; (2) establish a collective rather than an individual responsibility within the physical oceanography community for the mentoring of junior women; (3) provide a variety of mentoring resources and mentors for a range of issues; (4) cast a wide net to avoid exclusiveness; and (5) open this program to all those who self-identify as a physical oceanographer. The impact of MPOWIR so far has been very positive toward improving retention of women. 122 Interactional and Individual Strategies
