EAGER - Chief Scientist Training for Young Investigators: MLML/CSU Focus on Coastal Oceanography

在R/V Point Sur上进行了一系列短途航行，主要目的是培训早期职业海洋学家在海上进行研究。提高早期职业科学家的技能的必要性已经得到联合国最不发达国家联盟和该计划数年的承认。克莱尔·赖默斯以前在西海岸和东海岸开展的类似活动非常成功，这一努力将建立在这些经验的基础上。最不发达国家联盟提议举办一系列联合国最不发达国家联盟首席科学家培训邮轮活动，以提供机会，向职业生涯早期的海洋科学家传授如何有效规划、获取、利用和报告海上多学科研究项目和教育的时间。这些邮轮将于2014年在R/V Point Sur举行，它们还将为新的研究人员提供机会，测试初步或不熟悉的研究方法，与其他人合作，获取对发展未来海洋研究和教育计划至关重要的样本和经验。由于在南点停泊有限，计划运营三个短途邮轮和一系列日间邮轮。这种方法将允许大量的参与者，但也将提供机会，几个参与者领导一次邮轮。邮轮的资金是适度的。这项活动的智力价值将是探险的结果，科学重要和有趣的地区。这项活动不只是一次“看一看”，而是“从做”真正的科学中学习。这些提案为实现这些目标制定了一个非常有条理和行之有效的时间表。活动的更广泛影响是大多数人关注的焦点。培训下一代航海科学家对于保持美国海洋学的有效性至关重要。在学术研究舰队缩编和现代化的这个关头，这一点尤为重要。这一考虑，以及支持外地工作的技术进步，要求新用户熟悉迅速发展的能力。这是从经验丰富的老兵的渗透学习转变为积极参与现代海洋学的一个原因。上一代人的经历正迅速变得与明天崭露头角的科学家的职业生涯不那么相关。

A series of short cruises aboard R/V Point Sur with the principle aim of training early career oceanographers to conduct research at sea.The need to improve the skills of early career scientists has been recognized by UNOLS as well as Program for several years. Previous similar activities conducted on the West and East Coast under Clare Reimers were highly successful, and this effort would build on those experiences. MLML proposes a series of UNOLS Chief Scientist Training Cruises to provide opportunitiesfor teaching early career marine scientists how to effectively plan for, acquire, utilize and report on, time at sea for multi-disciplinary research projects and education. These cruises, to be held on the R/V Point Sur in 2014, they will also offer new investigators opportunities to test preliminary or unfamiliar research methods, work collaboratively, with others and acquire samples and experience critical for developing future oceanographic programs for both research and education. Because berthing is limited on Point Sur, the plan is to run three short cruises and a series of day cruises. This approach will allow for a large number of participants, but will also provide opportunities for several participants to lead a cruise.The funding for the cruise is modest.The Intellectual Merit of this activity will be the results from the expedition to a scientifically important and interesting area. The activity is not just a "look and see", but rather "learning from doing" real science. The proposals lays out a very organized and proven time table for meeting the objectives. The Broader Impacts of the activity are the majority focus. Training the next generation of sea-going scientists is essential to maintaining effective US oceanography. It is particularly important at this juncture as the Academic Research Fleet downsizes and modernizes. This consideration, as well as advancement in technology to support field work, mandates that new users become familiar with capabilities that are rapidly evolving. This is one reason behind shifting the paradigm from learning through osmosis from seasoned veterans to actively participating in modern oceanography. The experiences of the previous generation are rapidly becoming less relevant to the careers of the up-and-coming scientists of tomorrow.
