The study of oceanography requires seagoing research for collection ofdata and at sea experimentation. However, for first time researchers the planning, organizing,logistics and paper work involved in a major research cruise, especially one that involveswork in foreign waters (EEZs) can be daunting. Additionally, at sea research involves substantialadditional grant costs attributable to the ship operation. As a consequence, beginning in2011 the University National Oceanographic Laboratory System (UNOLS) began a program of ChiefScientist training cruises to introduce prospective early career scientists to the processof planning, acquiring, effectively utilizing, and reporting on time at sea for multi-disciplinaryresearch and education. To date there have been 5 successful Chief Scientist training cruises,with a sixth cruise, focused on Robotic Platforms, scheduled to take place this November.This proposal would fund a sixth Chief Scientist Training Cruise training cruise to be conductedaboard the R/V Thomas G Thompson. The training program is modeled on the proven successfulone that have already occurred. This would be the first training cruise conducted using aGlobal Class research vessel,With this proposal funds will be used to conduct a general Chief Scientist Training Cruise in 2016.The training cruise will follow the proven model of previous successful ones and provide aforum for early career marine scientists to learn how to plan, acquire utilize and report on at searesearch for multidisciplinary research and education. The cruise will utilize the R/V T.G.Thompson, and it will be the first Chief Scientist training cruise on one of UNOLS? Global Classresearch vessels. As such, the ship will be able to accommodate up to 20 trainees. In addition toinstruction on duties and responsibilities of a Chief Scientist, the cruise will offer newinvestigators opportunities to test compelling research areas that could be used for the basis offuture proposals. Given the declining number of vessels in the UNOLS fleet and the tightoperations budget, the need to teach early career scientists how to use our limited infrastructureresources effectively and collaboratively is more important than ever.

海洋学研究需要进行航海研究以收集数据和进行海上实验。然而，对于第一次参与重大研究航行的研究人员来说，规划、组织、后勤和文书工作，尤其是涉及外国水域 (EEZ) 的工作可能会令人望而生畏。此外，海上研究还涉及因船舶运营而产生的大量额外拨款成本。因此，从 2011 年开始，大学国家海洋实验室系统 (UNOLS) 开始了一项首席科学家培训巡游计划，向未来的早期职业科学家介绍在海上按时规划、获取、有效利用和报告的过程，以进行多学科研究和教育。迄今为止，已经成功进行了 5 次首席科学家培训巡航，其中第六次巡航定于今年 11 月进行，重点关注机器人平台。该提案将为在 R/V Thomas G Thompson 上进行的第六次首席科学家培训巡航提供资金。该培训计划以已经发生的已证明成功的培训计划为蓝本。这将是首次使用全球级研究船进行的训练巡航，该提案的资金将用于在 2016 年进行一般首席科学家训练巡航。该训练巡航将遵循先前成功训练巡航的成熟模式，并为早期职业海洋科学家提供一个论坛，让他们学习如何规划、获取利用和报告多学科研究和教育的海上研究。该巡航将使用 R/V T.G.Thompson，这将是 UNOLS 上的第一次首席科学家培训巡航？全球级研究船。因此，该船最多可容纳 20 名学员。除了关于首席科学家的职责和责任的说明之外，这次航行还将为新的研究人员提供测试引人注目的研究领域的机会，这些领域可用于未来提案的基础。鉴于 UNOLS 船队中船舶数量的减少和运营预算的紧张，教导早期职业科学家如何有效和协作地使用我们有限的基础设施资源比以往任何时候都更加重要。
