Proposal 1433236 Chief Scientist Training Cruise The proposal requests $89,397 to conduct a short cruise aboard R/V Hugh Sharp with the principle aim of training early career oceanographers to conduct research cruises. A cruise will be scheduled, that consist of a 7-day cruise immediately preceded by two days of informationalpresentations, facilities tours, and cruise mobilization and one day of post cruise critique anddemobilization. This proposal?s PIs, Dr. Mark Moline and William M. Byam (Director of MarineOperations), University of Delaware Marine staff and guest speakers will take part as presentersat the information sessions. On the cruise, up to 12 participants and 2 instructors (SeniorScientists) as well as the ship?s Marine Technicians and crew will work together to accomplishscience objectives. 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. Udel proposes a series of UNOLS Chief Scientist Training Cruises to provide opportunitiesfor teaching early career marine scientists how to effectively plan for, acquire, utilizeand report on, time at sea for multi-disciplinary research projects and education. Thesecruises, to be held on the R/V Hugh Sharp in 2014, they will also offer new investigatorsopportunities to test preliminary or unfamiliar research methods, work collaboratively,with others and acquire samples and experience critical for developing futureoceanographic programs for both research and education. Because berthing is limitedon R/V Sharp, the plan is to run three short cruises and a series of day cruises. Thisapproach will allow for a large number of participants, but will also provideopportunities 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.

1433236号首席科学家培训巡航提案要求89 397美元，在休·夏普号R/V上进行一次短途巡航，主要目的是培训早期职业海洋学家进行研究巡航。 将安排一次巡航，包括为期7天的巡航，紧接着是为期两天的信息介绍、设施图尔斯参观和巡航动员，以及为期一天的巡航后评论和复员。这个提议？的PI，博士马克莫林和威廉M。Byam（海洋行动主任）、特拉华州大学海洋工作人员和特邀演讲者将作为信息会议的主持人参加。在游轮上，最多12名参与者和2名教练（高级科学家）以及船舶？海事技术人员和船员将共同努力，以实现科学目标。 提高早期职业科学家的技能的必要性几年来一直得到联合国毒品和犯罪问题办事处以及该方案的承认。 以前在克莱尔·赖默斯领导下在西海岸和东海岸进行的类似活动非常成功，这次努力将建立在这些经验的基础上。 Udel提出了一系列联合国海洋法办公室首席科学家培训游轮，为早期职业海洋科学家提供机会，教他们如何有效地规划、获取、利用和报告海上时间，进行多学科研究项目和教育。这些巡游将于2014年在休·夏普号R/V上举行，它们还将为新的调查人员提供测试初步或不熟悉的研究方法、与其他人合作的机会，并获取对于开发未来海洋学研究项目至关重要的样本和经验。和教育。由于R/V Sharp的停泊受到限制，计划进行三次短途游轮和一系列日间游轮。这种方法将允许大量的参与者，但也将为几个参与者提供机会，以领导一个巡航。巡航的资金是适度的。这项活动的智力价值将是从探险的结果到一个科学上重要和有趣的地区。 活动不只是“看一看”，而是“从做中学”的真实的科学。 这些建议为实现这些目标制定了一个非常有组织和经过验证的时间表。活动的更广泛影响是大多数人关注的焦点。 培养下一代航海科学家对保持美国海洋学的有效性至关重要。 这是特别重要的，在这个节骨眼上的学术研究舰队缩小规模和现代化。 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。 这是将模式从通过经验丰富的老兵的渗透来学习转变为积极参与现代海洋学的原因之一。 上一代人的经历与未来科学家的职业生涯正迅速变得不那么相关。
