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

这个奖项是为了支持格雷戈里·斯通为期一年的访问， 国家海底研究计划（National Undersea Research Program，简称UNDP），国家海洋学和 美国商务部大气管理局向日本 日本横须贺海洋科学技术中心（JAMSTEC）。 斯通先生将与Hiroshi Hotta博士和其他人合作， JAMSTEC在确定需要实地研究的关键研究领域 在超过4，000海里的海洋深处进行实验或取样 米 潜水系统和仪表类型， 完成深海科学计划所需的工具 将被评估。 JAMSTEC是日本的CNOP对应机构，作为一个组织， 其使命是促进海洋科学研究和 开发技术以促进这项研究。 1989年 JAMSTEC推出了SHINKAI 6500，这是最深的载人潜水之一。 世界上最大的潜水研究船 JAMSTEC和JAMSTEC有一个 合作的历史。 斯通先生在日本的研究应该 帮助集中和协调海洋之间的未来合作 我们两国的科学界。

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.
