该论文倡议湖沼学和海洋学的进步（DIALOG）是一个跨学科的项目，通过几个专业协会的工作目标最近的博士学位。获奖者涉及与生物导向的水产科学相关的所有学科。该项目将量化和表征最近的水产科学博士，巩固和传播博士学位。论文摘要，建立电子名单，以促进就业机会的分配，并运行一个国际“顶点”专题讨论会，为选定的应届毕业生，以促进跨学科的洞察力，同行网络，和早期的职业发展。 DIALOG将培养国际以及国际？这些研究生包括来自发展中国家和发达国家的毕业生。人口数据将有助于描述和跟踪人力资源。开着？线论文注册将提供一个全面而简洁的新研究的摘要，为科学家，决策者和机构代表，并促进新一代的研究人员融入更广泛的社会。电子分发清单将提供一种机制，以便在各机构之间有针对性地传播信息，并促进跨学科和跨国际的沟通。国际研讨会将支持各级参与者的多样性，并将其工作超越传统界限的个人聚集在一起。这些活动将建立同行网络，增强洞察力和视角，以加快职业发展，推进跨学科的科学方法。

The Dissertations Initiative for the Advancement of Limnology and OceanoGraphy (DIALOG) is an interdisciplinary project that works through several professional societies to target recent Ph.D. recipients across the full spectrum of disciplines relevant to the biologically oriented aquatic sciences. This project will quantify and characterize recent aquatic science Ph.D.s, consolidate and disseminate Ph.D. dissertation abstracts, establish electronic lists to facilitate distribution of job opportunities, and run an international "capstone" symposium for selected recent graduates to foster interdisciplinary insight, peer networking, and early career development. DIALOG will foster international as well as inter?institutional contacts, and include graduates from both developing and developed countries. Demographic data will facilitate the characterization and tracking of human resources. The on?line Dissertation Registry will provide a comprehensive yet concise summary of new research for scientists, policy makers, and agency representatives and facilitates integration of a new generation of researchers into the broader community. The electronic distribution list will provide a mechanism to target and disseminate information across institutions and foster communication across disciplinary and international boundaries. The international symposium will support participant diversity at all levels, and bring together individuals whose work transcends traditional boundaries. Activities will establish peer networks and enhance insights and perspectives to accelerate career development and advance interdisciplinary approaches to science.
