Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) Planning and Management

斯基德韦海洋学研究所将继续沿海海洋过程研究倡议的科学规划和管理活动，维持一个沿海海洋过程规划办公室。合作项目旨在促进沿海海洋的跨学科研究。它的目标是对大陆边缘的生物、化学和地质重要物质的运输、转化和命运获得新的定量认识。一组科学家正在进行合作计划，致力于组织跨学科沿海海洋基础研究的大规模努力。通过一系列讲习班和科学规划委员会的审议，开展了确定实际过程研究和要进行的长期测量的活动。该办公室将通过维护一个合作项目网站和定期发布一份通讯来交流有关合作项目的信息和合作项目的科学成果。

The Skidaway Institute of Oceanography will continue the scientific planning and management activities of the Coastal Ocean Processes (CoOP) research initiative by maintaining a CoOP planning office. The CoOP program seeks to promote interdisciplinary research in the coastal ocean. Its goal is to obtain a new level of quantitative understanding of the transports, transformations and fates of biologically, chemically, and geologically important matter over the continental margins. CoOP planning is being undertaken by a group of scientists dedicated to organizing large-scale efforts in interdisciplinary coastal ocean basic research. Through a series of workshops and the deliberations of a scientific planning committee, activities are undertaken to define the actual process studies and long-term measurements to be made. The office will communicate information about the CoOP program and the scientific results from CoOP projects by maintaining a CoOP web site and by regularly publishing a newsletter.
