PROJECT SUMMARY The University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences (RSMAS) proposes to operate the R/V Walton Smith in support of NSF funded research in CY 2005. This is a five-year cooperative agreement, and funding for the years 2006-2009 will be renegotiated and will depend on the number of days at sea in support of NSF-funded research programs requiring the use of an Oceanographic platform. The Walton Smith is owned by the University of Miami and is a 96-foot catamaran research vessel. Its prime area of operations is off coastal Florida waters, both in the Atlantic and in the Gulf of Mexico, and the Bahamas. In CY 2005 the ship will support NSF funded researchers for 102 days at sea, out of a 196 day schedule. The primary NSF-funded research projects that will use this ship as their platform are funded from the areas of biological and chemical oceanographyIntellectual and Technical MeritThe Walton Smith is a modern, well equipped research vessel with an experienced and well-trained crew. The research being conducted on the Walton Smith will contribute to the understanding of important issues in its area of operations. The billfish research is the first sustained study of the fish, and it will look at eh source, opportunities, and fate of billfish larvae. A biocomplexity study in the Bahamas will contribute the understanding of a three billion year old ecosystem and its modern analogues. Studies will also be conducted on harmful algal blooms, and population dynamics that contribute to these blooms.Broader impactsShip operations play a vital role at Rosenstiel and results in information and research that contributes significantly to the School's outreach program. The School is committed to improving scientific and environmental literacy among students and adults, both regionally as well as nationwide. Sample programs follow:1 .During the summer months, the school runs several teacher training programs and collaborates with the Miami Museum of Science in a government sponsored education program for students at risk.2. The university has partnered with Royal Caribbean, NOAA, ONR, NASA, and NSF to create a research and education program aboard the Explorer of the Sea. As well as gathering data, the program provides talks on current research topics at Rosenstiel to passengers on the ship.3. Students, both graduate and undergraduate, from RSMAS, the University of South Florida, Florida International University, and the University of Miami Marine Science Programs routinely participate as members of the ship's science party. This provides opportunities for these students to participate in "at sea" oceanography.

项目概要迈阿密大学罗森斯蒂尔海洋与大气科学学院（RSMAS）建议在2005年操作R/V沃尔顿史密斯，以支持NSF资助的研究。这是一项为期五年的合作协议，2006-2009年的资金将重新谈判，并将取决于在海上的天数，以支持需要使用海洋学平台的国家科学基金会资助的研究计划。沃尔顿·史密斯号由迈阿密大学拥有，是一艘96英尺长的双体船研究船。 它的主要业务区域是在大西洋和墨西哥湾的佛罗里达沃茨沿海以及巴哈马群岛。 在2005年，该船将在196天的时间表中为NSF资助的研究人员提供102天的海上支持。 主要NSF资助的研究项目将使用这艘船作为他们的平台，由生物和化学海洋学领域的知识和技术优点沃尔顿史密斯是一个现代化的，装备精良的研究船，拥有经验丰富，训练有素的船员。 对“沃尔顿·史密斯”号进行的研究将有助于了解其业务领域的重要问题。 长嘴鱼的研究是第一次对这种鱼进行持续的研究，它将着眼于长嘴鱼幼虫的来源、机会和命运。 巴哈马的一项生物复杂性研究将有助于了解一个30亿年的生态系统及其现代类似物。 还将对有害藻华以及导致这些藻华的种群动态进行研究。更广泛的影响船舶运营在罗森斯蒂尔发挥着至关重要的作用，并产生的信息和研究为学校的外展计划做出了重大贡献。 学校致力于提高学生和成年人的科学和环境素养，无论是在区域还是全国范围内。 样本项目如下：1 .在夏季的几个月里，学校举办了几个教师培训项目，并与迈阿密科学博物馆合作，为有风险的学生举办了一个政府资助的教育项目。 该大学与皇家加勒比，NOAA，ONR，NASA和NSF合作，在海洋探索者号上创建了一个研究和教育项目。 除了收集数据外，该计划还为船上的乘客提供罗森斯蒂尔当前研究主题的讲座。 来自RSMAS、南佛罗里达大学、佛罗里达国际大学和迈阿密大学海洋科学项目的研究生和本科生通常作为船上科学小组的成员参加。 这为这些学生提供了参与“海上”海洋学的机会。
