American Institute of Biological Sciences Proposal to Plan and Support Dissertations Symposiums in Chemical Oceanography

ABSTRACTOCE-0224374根据该奖项，美国生物科学研究所将继续管理化学海洋学论文研讨会 (DISCO)，该研讨会自 1978 年以来一直在 NSF/ONR/NOAA 联合赞助下举办。自二十四年前成立以来，DISCO 的目标是 (1) 将化学海洋学领域的最新博士生在一个共同论坛上聚集在一起，讨论他们的前沿技术论文研究；(2) 鼓励在职业生涯早期形成长期的科学合作关系。 DISCO 取得了巨大的成功，以至于学术界的热烈宣传使 DISCO 成为事实上的黄金标准，从而在地球科学的其他分支组织了其他类似 DISCO 的论文研讨会。

ABSTRACTOCE-0224374Under this award, the American Institute of Biological Sciences will continue its management of the Dissertation Symposia on Chemical Oceanography (DISCO), which it has run under joint NSF/ONR/NOAA sponsorship since 1978. From the time of its inception twenty-four years ago, the objectives of DISCO have been (1) to bring together in a common forum recent doctoral recipients in chemical oceanography to discuss their cutting-edge dissertation research and (2) to encourage the formation of long-term scientific collaborative relationships early in their professional lives. DISCO has been a resounding success -- so much so that the enthusiastic publicity generated in the academic community led to DISCO becoming the de facto gold standard that led to the organization of other DISCO-like dissertation symposia in other branches of the earth sciences.
