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.

加州大学圣巴巴拉分校（UCSB）是沿海海洋过程综合多学科研究生培训项目的理想选择。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/古海洋学家在内的10名教师已经建立了富有成效的合作记录，他们正在为5个研究生培训项目寻求支持。第六名学生将获得大学的配对资助。培训计划将强调两个高度跨学科的领域，这对我们对沿海海洋的理解至关重要，这是由于UCSB独特的地理位置和研究专长；1)沿海初级生产和水柱光学特性的生物光学、光适应和遥感（5个院系）；2)沿海水文和水柱过程的时空变异及其对沉积物中沉积的长期气候记录的影响（8个院系）。学生将由两名教师共同资助，培养跨学科的论文项目，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、现代同位素地球化学、微生物和化学技术。招募女性和少数族裔学生将通过与两个附属机构（莫斯兰丁海洋实验室，长滩加州州立大学）的联系以及参与教师中3名女性导师的可用性来促进。
