Project SummaryFollowing on the success of the first Marine Geoscience Leadership Symposium (MGLS), the Consortium for Ocean Leadership proposes to organize an additional symposium focusing on professional development training for early career marine geoscientists. The five-day symposium will create a network of peers among the next generation of geoscientists and provide them with lessons in early career development to strengthen their leadership skills. The symposium will help prepare scientists by providing training in an array of skills they will need to become leaders, including knowledge of U.S. science agencies and effective techniques to approach decision makers and legislators. We aim to attract scientists from multiple disciplines within or related to marine geology and marine geophysics, including researchers that use scientific ocean drilling as a tool. The proposed activities will include presentations of cutting-edge research, small group discussions, proposal writing workshops, and meetings with funding agencies, media representatives, and policy makers in the Washington, D.C. area.Intellectual MeritOcean Leadership proposes a symposium aimed at providing leadership skills that will lead to success in the academic field and that will create a cohort of early career scientists capable of participating in collaborative research and science planning. Important elements of the symposium will include formal presentations, group discussion, mentoring, and meetings that provide a broader perspective. This type of leadership symposium will address NSF?s primary mission to promote science, engineering, and education careers, while nurturing the next generation of scientists.Broader ImpactsThe goal of the symposium is to increase the effectiveness of early career scientists as they enter the community of marine geoscientists. Through targeted training in skills that extend beyond the classroom and laboratory, these early career researchers can become leaders in their communities and contribute to a geoscience-literate public. Participants will be inspired to become involved in science planning and speaking with the media and with policy makers, further expanding the impact of the symposium.

项目摘要继第一届海洋地球科学领导能力研讨会(MGLS)取得成功后，海洋领导能力联盟建议再组织一次研讨会，重点是为职业生涯早期的海洋地球科学家提供专业发展培训。为期五天的研讨会将在下一代地球科学家中建立一个同行网络，并为他们提供早期职业发展方面的经验教训，以加强他们的领导技能。研讨会将帮助科学家做好准备，提供他们成为领导者所需的一系列技能的培训，包括美国科学机构的知识和与决策者和立法者接触的有效技巧。我们的目标是吸引来自海洋地质学和海洋地球物理学或与之相关的多个学科的科学家，包括将科学海洋钻探作为工具的研究人员。拟议的活动将包括介绍尖端研究、小组讨论、提案撰写研讨会，以及与华盛顿特区的资助机构、媒体代表和政策制定者举行会议。智慧价值海洋领导力提议举办一次研讨会，旨在提供将在学术领域取得成功的领导技能，并将培养一批能够参与合作研究和科学规划的早期职业科学家。研讨会的重要内容将包括正式报告、小组讨论、指导和提供更广泛视角的会议。这类领导力研讨会将讨论美国国家科学基金会S在培养下一代科学家的同时，促进科学、工程和教育事业的主要使命。广泛影响研讨会的目标是提高早期职业科学家进入海洋地球科学界的有效性。通过对课堂和实验室以外的技能进行有针对性的培训，这些早期职业研究人员可以成为他们所在社区的领导者，并为懂地球科学的公众做出贡献。与会者将受到启发，参与科学规划，并与媒体和政策制定者交谈，进一步扩大研讨会的影响。
