This award provides some funding to support a group of junior and senior undergraduate students during an inter-session course in Oceanography aboard a UNOLS research vessel making a deadhead transit. This is an experimental program that will test the feasibility of using UNOLS vessels for such a course. The PI plans to bring five to ten students aboard the ship during a deadhead transit from Woods Hole, MA to Fortaleza, Brazil. The students will conduct a sampling program under the direction of the PI and take intensive coursework in oceanography. If they are able to successfully complete a course of this type, the PI anticipates teaching such classes on a regular basis by attempting to identify appropriate deadhead cruises or working with chief scientists who would be willing to accommodate a small number of students from other institutions.

该奖项提供了一些资金，以支持一组大三和大四的本科生在一艘UNOLS研究船上进行空驶过境期间参加海洋学闭会期间课程。这是一个试验性方案，将测试使用联合国海洋法处船只进行这一课程的可行性。PI计划在从马萨诸塞州的伍兹霍尔到巴西的福塔莱萨的空载运输期间，将五到十名学生带上船。学生将在PI的指导下进行采样计划，并参加海洋学的强化课程。如果他们能够成功完成这类课程，PI预计将通过尝试确定适当的空驶巡航或与愿意容纳其他机构少量学生的首席科学家合作，定期教授此类课程。
