OCEANOGRAPHY: Mountains in the Sea

PI已经为海洋学学会（TOS）杂志的特刊“海洋学”-海中的山脉申请了部分资金。海山是海洋研究的主要前沿，科学、商业和社会利益相关者都在关注海山的勘探、研究、商业利用以及防止过度开发。科学家们对海底山的兴趣范围很广，从它们作为观测地球的窗口。S地幔对认识生态学的生物热点。有利可图的渔业导致需要保护和了解可持续渔业产量。这个提议的卷是第一个真正综合看海山，在那里的地球物理学，地球化学，微生物学，海洋生态学，海洋学和渔业社区的领导人将提出目前的理解和提出有关海山科学的新问题。更广泛的影响：海洋学杂志是这样一个跨学科的论文集的绝佳场所，它将被科学家用来保持最新和教育工作者作为一种资源。就包括渔业和海洋保护区在内的社会问题而言，这个问题相当及时。

The PI has requested partial funding for a special issues of The Oceanography Society (TOS) Magazine, "Oceanography" - Mountains in the Sea.Seamounts are a major frontier in ocean research with a diverse community of scientific, commercial, and societal stakeholders focusing on their exploration, study, and commercial use, and protection from overexploitation. Scientific interests in seamounts range from their use as windows to Earth?s mantle to the understanding of the ecology of biological hot spots. Profitable fisheries led to the need for protection and understanding of sustainable fisheries yields. This proposed volume is the first truly integrated look at seamounts, where leaders of the geophysics, geochemistry, microbiology, marine ecology, oceanography, and fisheries communities will present the current understanding of and pose new questions related to seamount science. Broader Impacts: Oceanography Magazine is an excellent venue for such an interdisciplinary set of papers and it will be used by scientists to stay current and by educators as a resource. This issue is quite timely with respect to social issues including fisheries and MPAs.
