Under this award the principal investigators will organize the sixth and seventh Physical Oceanography Dissertation Symposium (PODS) conferences in Honolulu, Hawaii from 3-7 October, 2010 and 7-11 October 2012. These symposia were established in 2002 to bring together, for the purposes of scientific discussion and interactions, a group of oceanographers who had either recently graduated, or were soon to graduate with PhDs in physical oceanography. The goal of these meetings is to provide these individuals with an opportunity to present their dissertation research in an open forum in front of their professional peers and to forge professional relationships between the participants that would facilitate their future research and academic careers. This program is modeled after the highly successful Dissertations in Chemical Oceanography (DISCO) meetings, which first met in 1978, and is formatted in a similar manner. It is anticipated that the DISCO symposia will be held in parallel with the PODS symposia and that there will be interaction between the participants in both of these meetings, broadening the perspectives of all participants. Support for the DISCO meetings is being pursued in a separate proposal, but interaction between the two groups is an integral part of the goals of the proposed PODS symposia. A broad international announcement of the PODS symposia will be made to physical oceanographers working at academic institutions in both the US and other countries to develop an applicant pool. From this pool, agency personnel will select invitees. The meeting consists of a series of sessions grouped by research subject area that are chaired by selected invitees and will also include student-led discussion periods. In addition to an initial presentation by an invited senior scientist in the field, there will also be presentations by, and discussion with, agency personnel explaining funding mechanisms and strategies. Participants will form break-out groups to discuss current issues in research, as well as obstacles and opportunities to career paths in the field, then provide feedback on these issues to agency personnel through formal presentations. By bringing the two separate symposia invitees together in evening discussion sessions revolving around specific topics, the goal is to broaden the disciplinary expertise of the participants, promote future collaborations, and to make connections between their research and the education of future generations of scientists. Logistical support for these symposia will be provided by the University of Hawaii?s Conference Center (PI Yamashita) in the Outreach College, as well as from two faculty members (co-PIs Measures and Selph) from the Department of Oceanography. Broader Impacts: The PODS symposia will produce a cohort group of early career professionals in the field of physical oceanography, serving to create a peer-mentoring group that will last throughout their careers. In addition, the cross-disciplinary contacts arising from the combination of the DISCO and PODS meetings will foster future inter-disciplinary understanding and collaborations. These individuals play a critical role in improving our understanding of Ocean and Earth Science processes, which provide the scientific framework vital for developing rational climate related policies.

根据该奖项，主要研究人员将于2010年10月3日至7日和2012年10月7日至11日在夏威夷的檀香山组织第六和第七次物理海洋学论文研讨会（PODS）会议。这些专题讨论会成立于2002年，目的是为了科学讨论和互动的目的，聚集了一批最近毕业或即将毕业的物理海洋学博士的海洋学家。这些会议的目标是为这些人提供一个机会，在他们的专业同行面前，在一个公开的论坛上展示他们的论文研究，并在参与者之间建立专业关系，这将有利于他们未来的研究和学术生涯。该计划是仿照非常成功的化学海洋学论文（DISCO）会议，首次在1978年举行，并以类似的方式格式化。预计DISCO专题讨论会将与PODS专题讨论会同时举行，这两次会议的与会者之间将进行互动，扩大所有与会者的视野。目前正在另一项提案中寻求对DISCO会议的支持，但这两个小组之间的互动是拟议的极轨道扩展卫星专题讨论会目标的一个组成部分。将向在美国和其他国家的学术机构工作的物理海洋学家广泛宣布PODS研讨会的国际通知，以建立申请人库。机构工作人员将从这一人才库中挑选受邀者。会议由一系列会议组成，按研究主题领域分组，由选定的受邀者主持，还将包括学生主导的讨论时段。除了该领域的一位受邀资深科学家作初步介绍外，还将由机构工作人员作介绍并与他们进行讨论，解释供资机制和战略。与会者将组成分组讨论研究中的当前问题，以及该领域职业道路的障碍和机会，然后通过正式演讲向机构人员提供有关这些问题的反馈。通过将两个单独的专题讨论会邀请在晚上围绕特定主题的讨论会，其目标是扩大参与者的学科专业知识，促进未来的合作，并使他们的研究和未来几代科学家的教育之间的联系。夏威夷大学将为这些专题讨论会提供后勤支持。在外联学院的会议中心（PI Yamashita），以及来自海洋学系的两名教员（co-PI Measures和Selph）。更广泛的影响：PODS专题讨论会将产生一个物理海洋学领域早期职业专业人员的队列组，用于创建一个同行指导小组，该小组将持续整个职业生涯。此外，由DISCO和PODS会议的结合产生的跨学科接触将促进未来的跨学科理解和合作。这些人在提高我们对海洋和地球科学过程的理解方面发挥着关键作用，这些过程为制定合理的气候相关政策提供了至关重要的科学框架。
