Continued Support for the Ocean Studies Board

美国国家科学院（NAS）海洋研究委员会（OSB）将继续向包括国家科学基金会在内的涉及海洋科学的联邦机构提供重大海洋科学政策问题的指导。 明年，OSB 将解决一系列与 NSF 海洋科学项目相关的问题。 这些将包括海洋数据管理，特别是与数据分类相关的问题；长期气候变化和海气相互作用的影响；实地研究与遥感研究的比较； 海洋污染和海洋废物处理的全球影响；海洋学研究方面的国际合作和进入自由；海洋的经济价值，包括渔业和水产养殖；沿海地区和陆地与海洋的相互作用；和人力资源。 该委员会将继续担任美国国家海洋研究科学委员会委员会。 OSB 将与其他科学院理事会和委员会，特别是全球变化委员会和大气科学与气候委员会密切协调其活动。

The Ocean Studies Board (OSB) of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) will continue to provide guidance on major ocean science policy issues to the Federal agencies involved in ocean sciences, including the National Science Foundation. Over the next year the OSB will address a series of issues relevant to NSF ocean science programs. These will include ocean data management, especially questions related to classifi- cation of data; long-term climate change and effects of air-sea inter- action; comparison of in situ research and that done via remote sensing; global effects of marine pollution and oceanic waste disposal; interna- tional cooperation in oceanographic research and freedom of access; eco- nomic worth of the oceans, including fisheries and aquaculture; the coastal zone and land-sea interaction; and human resources. The Board will continue to serve as the U.S. National Committee for the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research. The OSB will coordinate its activities closely with other Academy Boards and Committees, especially the Com- mittees on Global Change and on Atmospheric Sciences and Climate.
