Ph.D. Training Program in Coastal Ocean Processes

加州大学圣巴巴拉分校（UCSB）非常适合沿海海洋过程的综合和多学科研究生培训计划。 10名教师，包括4名物理/光学海洋学家，4名生物海洋学家和2名化学/古海洋学家，他们已经建立了富有成效的合作记录，正在寻求5名研究生实习生的支持。 第六名学生将得到大学的配套资金支持。 该培训计划将强调两个高度跨学科的领域，这两个领域对我们了解沿海海洋至关重要，这是UCSB独特的地理位置和研究专长所促成的; 1）生物光学，光适应，以及沿海初级生产力和水柱光学特性的遥感（5个系）和2）海岸水文和水柱过程的时空变化及其对沉积物中长期气候记录的影响（8名教师）。 学生将由两个教师共同赞助，以促进跨学科论文项目，并将接受最先进技术的培训，包括卫星成像和遥感，海洋系泊仪器，生物光学，计算机建模和现代同位素地球化学，微生物和化学技术。 将通过与2个支线机构（加州州立大学长滩莫斯兰丁海洋实验室）的联络以及参与教师中的3名女导师，促进妇女和少数民族学生的招聘。

The University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) is ideally suited for an integrative and multidisciplinary graduate training program in coastal ocean processes. Ten faculty including 4 physical/optical oceanographers, 4 biological oceanographers and 2 chemical/paleooceanographers who already have an established record of productive collaboration are seeking support for 5 graduate traineeships. A sixth student will be supported by matching funds from the University. The training program will emphasize two highly interdisciplinary areas crucial to our understanding of the coastal ocean made possible by UCSB's unique location and research expertise; 1) bio-optics, photoadaptation, and remote sensing of coastal primary production and water column optical properties (5 faculty) and 2) spatial and temporal variability in coastal hydrography and water column processes and their impact on the long-term climate record deposited in the sediments (8 faculty). Students will be co-sponsored by two faculty to foster interdisciplinary thesis projects and will received training in state-of-the-art technologies including satellite imaging and remote sensing, ocean mooring instrumentation, bio-optics, computer modeling, and modern isotope geochemical, microbiological and chemical techniques. Recruitment of women and minority students will be facilitated by liaisons with 2 feeder institutions, (Moss Landing Marine Lab, California State University at Long Beach) and by the availability of 3 women mentors among the participating faculty.
