Travel Support for U.S. Investigators to Attend South Pacific Observing Workshop

该奖项由国际科学与工程办公室（OISE）支持，将使美国学术海洋学家能够参与美国和智利之间的项目开发研讨会。本次研讨会的中心目标是召集美国和智利在南太平洋东部从事海洋学研究的专家。预计本次研讨会将促进智利学术界、智利海军水文和海洋局（SHOA）和国家海洋学委员会的科学家与美国海军研究实验室、国家海洋和大气管理局和学术界的科学家之间的互动。就知识价值而言，研讨会将为美国和智利科学家之间的协调和合作提供一个机会，这些科学家对智利新船“霍诺斯角号”的海洋学研究感兴趣。此外，由于美国科学家经常与智利科学家在南大洋、东太平洋和三重枢纽地区的海洋巡航活动中进行协调，本次研讨会将使感兴趣的利益相关者能够面对面地确定未来在科学、后勤和船舶设施方面的优先事项。

This award, to be supported by the Office of International Sciences and Engineering (OISE), will enable the participation of U.S. academic oceanographers in a program development workshop between the US and Chile. The central goal of this workshop is to bring together individuals for the US and Chile who are experts on oceanographic research in the eastern South Pacific. It is expected that this workshop will facilitate interactions between Chilean scientists from academia, the Chilean Navy Hydrographic and Oceanographic Service (SHOA), and the National Oceanographic Committee, and US scientists from the Naval Research Laboratory, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and academia. In terms of intellectual merit, the workshop will be provide an opportunity for coordination and collaboration between U.S. and Chilean scientists that are interested in oceanographic research aboard the new Chilean vessel, the Cabo de Hornos. In addition, as U.S. scientists often coordinate with Chilean scientists on ocean cruise activities in the Southern Ocean, Eastern Pacific, and Triple Junction areas, this workshop will enable interested stakeholders to meet face to face to set future priorities in science, logistics and ship facilities.
