Alvins New Users Workshop

该奖项为使用载人飞行器Alvin的早期职业发展活动提供资金。 培训将包括一系列为期半天的小型课程，内容涉及Alvin潜水操作的各个方面，巡航计划和执行，以及制定成功的Alvin建议的策略。小型课程将让参与者探索如何与Alvin一起完成他们的特定研究目标。每个参与者都有机会参加为期半天的模拟Alvin潜水。这些“潜水”将发生在阿尔文衣架，但在许多方面将模拟潜水的经验。 特别是，参与者将了解潜水器的视野，进行采样和传感器/实验部署操作所需的时间，以及潜水参与者记录数据和与驾驶员互动的责任。潜水将持续3- 4小时，让参与者更深入地了解如何使用Alvin执行特定任务目标。培训的主要目标是为Alvin新用户提供一个机会，了解潜艇在其研究目标背景下的操作。 参与者将编写微型课程的文件，在反南南合作和国家发展基金网站上公布，以便无法参加的其他人能够受益。 与会者将对研讨会进行评估，包括：规模和结构、迷你课程的主题焦点、模拟潜水体验和讲师的有效性。这些评价的结果将综合成一份简短的文件，分发给联合国毒品和犯罪问题办事处、南南合作促进发展中心、国家科学基金和国家发展科学基金，以供今后的培训活动参考。

This award provides funds for an early career development exercise using the Human Occupied Vehicle Alvin. The training will include a series of half-day, mini-courses on various aspects of Alvin dive operations, cruise planning and execution, and strategies for crafting successful Alvin proposals. The mini-courses will allow participants to explore how their specific research objectives can be accomplished with Alvin.Participants will each have an opportunity take part in a half-day simulated Alvin dive. These 'dives' will take place in the Alvin hanger, but in many respects will simulate the experience of a dive. In particular, participants will gain an appreciation for the field of view from the submersible, the time it takes to conduct manipulations for sampling and sensor/experiment deployment, and the responsibilities of dive participants for recording data and interacting with the pilots. Dives will last 3-4h and allow the participants to gain a deeper understanding of how to execute mission-specific goals with Alvin.The primary goal of the training is to provide new Alvin users with an opportunity to learn about the operation of the sub in the context of their research objectives. The PI will produce documentation from mini-courses to be published on the DeSSC and NDSF websites so that others who are not able to attend can benefit. Attendees will provide an evaluation of the workshop including: size and structure, topical foci of the mini-courses, simulated dive experience, and instructor effectiveness. The results of these evaluations will be synthesized in a short document to circulate at UNOLS, DeSSC, NSF, and NDSF for the benefit of future training exercises.
