The VIIIth and IXth Physical Oceanography Dissertation Symposium (PODS) conferences will take place in Honolulu, Hawaii from 5-9 October 2014 and 2-6 October 2016, respectively. These symposia were established in 2002 to bring together, for the purposes of scientific discussion and interactions, recent PhD graduates in physical oceanography. The goal of these meetings is to provide these individuals with an opportunity to present their dissertation research 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 Symposium in Chemical Oceanography (DISCO) meetings, which first met in 1978, and is formatted in a similar manner. The DISCO symposia are held in parallel with the PODS symposia so that there will be interaction between the participants in both of these meetings, broadening the perspectives of all participants. 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, the sponsoring agencies will select invitees. The meeting will consist 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 program managers 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, and then provide feedback 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, as well as from two faculty members from the Department of Oceanography. Intellectual Merit: The PODS symposia will produce a cohort group of early career professionals in the field of physical oceanography from widely differing backgrounds and geographical origins, 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. Thus, the PODS participants will be uniquely situated to take advantage of networking between individuals and groups, which is of great importance to foster advances in our scientific knowledge and preparedness to meet upcoming environmental challenges.Broader Impacts: These PODS attendees 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. In addition, as a minority institution, the University of Hawaii fosters interactions between traditionally under-represented groups and minorities. Planned meeting activities include interactions between meeting participants and students, particularly undergraduates in the Department of Oceanography's Global Environmental Sciences program.

第七届和第十届物理海洋学论文专题讨论会将分别于2014年10月5日至9日和2016年10月2日至6日在夏威夷火奴鲁鲁举行。这些研讨会成立于2002年，目的是为了科学讨论和互动的目的，将物理海洋学的新近博士毕业生聚集在一起。这些会议的目的是为这些人提供一个机会，在他们的专业同行面前展示他们的论文研究，并在参与者之间建立专业关系，这将促进他们未来的研究和学术生涯。该计划仿照1978年首次召开的非常成功的化学海洋学论文研讨会(DISCO)，并以类似的方式编排。迪斯科研讨会与豆荚研讨会同时举行，因此这两次会议的参与者之间都将进行互动，从而拓宽了所有参与者的视野。将向在美国和其他国家的学术机构工作的物理海洋学家发布广泛的国际公告，以发展申请者队伍。赞助机构将从这个池中选择受邀者。会议将包括一系列按研究主题领域分组的会议，由选定的受邀者主持，还将包括学生主导的讨论时段。除了该领域一位受邀的资深科学家的初始陈述外，还将有机构项目经理的陈述和讨论，解释资助机制和战略。参与者将组成分组讨论研究中的当前问题，以及在该领域的职业道路上的障碍和机会，然后通过正式演讲向机构人员提供反馈。通过邀请两个不同的研讨会受邀者在围绕特定主题的晚间讨论会议上聚在一起，目标是拓宽与会者的学科专业知识，促进未来的合作，并将他们的研究与未来几代科学家的教育联系起来。夏威夷大学会议中心以及海洋学系的两名教员将为这些研讨会提供后勤支持。智力价值：豆荚研讨会将产生一批物理海洋学领域的早期职业专业人员，他们来自截然不同的背景和地理来源，有助于创建一个将持续整个职业生涯的同行指导小组。此外，迪斯科和吊舱会议结合产生的跨学科联系将促进未来跨学科的理解和合作。因此，豆荚参与者将处于独特的位置，利用个人和群体之间的网络，这对于促进我们的科学知识进步和应对即将到来的环境挑战的准备非常重要。广泛影响：这些豆荚参与者在增进我们对海洋和地球科学进程的理解方面发挥了关键作用，这些进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。此外，作为一个少数群体机构，夏威夷大学促进了传统上代表性不足的群体与少数群体之间的互动。计划中的会议活动包括与会者与学生之间的互动，特别是海洋学系全球环境科学项目的本科生。
