Japan (STA) Postdoctoral Program: International Deep Sea Science Research

该奖项是为了支持美国商务部国家海洋和大气管理局国家海底研究计划 (NURP) 格雷戈里·斯通 (Gregory Stone) 对位于日本横须贺的日本海洋科学技术中心 (JAMSTEC) 进行为期一年的访问。 Stone 先生将与 Hiroshi Hotta 博士和 JAMSTEC 的其他人合作，确定需要在超过 4,000 米的海洋深度进行现场实验或采样的关键研究领域。 将评估完成深海科学项目所需的潜水系统以及仪器和工具的类型。 JAMSTEC 是 NURP 的日本对应机构，作为一个组织，其使命是促进海洋科学研究和开发促进该研究的技术。 1989 年，JAMSTEC 推出了 SHINKAI 6500，这是世界上潜水最深的载人水下研究船之一。 NURP 和 JAMSTEC 有着合作历史。 斯通先生在日本的研究工作应该有助于集中和协调我们两国海洋科学界之间的未来合作。

This award is in support of an one-year visit by Gregory Stone, National Undersea Research Program (NURP), National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration, U.S. Department of Commerce, to the Japan Marine Science and Technology Center (JAMSTEC) in Yokosuka, Japan. Mr. Stone will collaborate with Dr. Hiroshi Hotta and others at JAMSTEC in defining critical research areas requiring in situ experimentation or sampling at ocean depths in excess of 4,000 meters. The submersible system and types of instrumentation and tools that would be needed to accomplish deep-sea science programs will be assessed. JAMSTEC is the Japanese counterpart to NURP and, as an organization, has as its mission the promotion of marine science research and the development of technologies to facilitate that research. In 1989 JAMSTEC launced the SHINKAI 6500, one of the deepest diving manned submergence research vessels in the world. NURP and JAMSTEC have a history of collaboration. Mr. Stone's research stay in Japan should help to focus and coordinate future collaboration between the marine science communities of our two countries.
