EAGER: Developing At-Sea & Telepresence-Led Deep-Submergence Science Leadership

这是一项在R/V Atlantis上进行海洋学研究巡航的提议，致力于为24名早期职业科学家（ECS）提供领导力发展。该提案的新颖之处在于使用了国家深潜设施资产Alvin和Sentry，罗得岛大学内部空间中心（ISC）和R/V Atlantis之间的研究远程呈现，以及科学通信组件。导师包括四名在深潜科学方面具有丰富经验的资深科学家和一名科学传播专家。ECS的关键开发目标包括：i）规划和执行合作的跨学科研究，ii）在巡航和潜水/使命规划和执行方面的领导能力，iii）将仪器与Alvin/Sentry/其他深潜设备集成; iv）支持远程呈现的数据采集和海底到船到海岸通信，v）数据管理、共享、报告，和vi）科学传播和推广到更广泛的受众。深海在很大程度上仍然是一个隐藏的知识库，供我们探索和了解，深海生态系统和生态系统服务仍然知之甚少，即使它们越来越多地受到资源开采，废物处理，酸化，变暖等人为变化的影响。有必要培训下一代深海研究领导人。这项拟议的努力建立在最近的岸上领导力发展工作的基础上，包括2015年阿尔文新用户研讨会和针对早期职业科学家的DeSSC（深潜科学委员会）年度研讨会。更广泛的影响：拟议的巡航将使24名对使用国家深潜设施资产进行深海研究感兴趣的早期职业科学家受益，为他们提供巡航前和海上领导力和决策经验，船舶和海岸实践中的远程呈现研究，科学交流，以及巡航后的后续机会。参与者应提高能力，编写有竞争力的提案，以领导船上科学，并扩大其跨学科网络。该方案的成果将由参与者在年度早期职业讲习班和DeSSC会议上报告，可能会在秋季AGU会议的特别会议上报告，并在DeSSC网页和其他地方的在线文件中传播。基本评估工具将记录学习成果，并为随后的深潜培训计划提供信息。

This is a proposal to conduct an oceanographic research cruise on the R/V Atlantis dedicatedto leadership development for 24 Early Career Scientists (ECS). Novel to this proposal arethe use of the National Deep Submergence Facility assets Alvin and Sentry, research telepresence between the Inner Space Center (ISC) University of Rhode Island and R/V Atlantis, and a science communication component. Mentors include four senior scientists with extensive experiencein deep-submergence science and one science communications expert. Key development objectives for the ECS include experience in i) planning and executing collaborative, interdisciplinaryresearch, ii) leadership in cruise and dive/mission planning and execution, iii) integrating instrumentation with Alvin/Sentry/other deep-submergence assets; iv) telepresence-enabled data acquisition and seafloor-to-ship-to-shore communications, v) data management, sharing, reporting, and vi) science communication and outreach to broader audiences.Intellectual Merit :The deep-ocean remains largely a hidden library of knowledge for us to probe and understand,and deep-sea ecosystems and ecosystem services remain poorly understood even as they are increasingly subject to anthropogenic change through resource extraction, waste disposal, acidification,warming, etc. For the US to remain a leader in deep-ocean science, there is need to trainthe next generation of leaders in deep-ocean research. This proposed effort builds on recentshore-based leadership development efforts, including the 2015 Alvin New Users Workshop andannual DeSSC (Deep Submergence Science Committee) workshop for early-career scientists.Broader Impacts :The proposed cruise will benefit 24 early-career scientists with interests in deep-ocean research using National Deep Submergence Facility assets, providing them with experience in pre-cruise and at-sea leadership and decision-making, ship and shore practice in telepresence-enabled research, and science communication, as well as post-cruise follow-up opportunities. Participants should attain an enhanced ability to prepare competitive proposals to lead shipboard scienceand have expanded their interdisciplinary network. Outcomes from the program will be reported by participants at the annual early-career workshop and DeSSC meeting, may be reported ata special session at the fall AGU meeting, and disseminated in on-line documents on DeSSC webpages, and elsewhere. Basic assessment tools will document learning outcomes and inform subsequent deep-submergence training programs.
