This award supports the participation of U.S. based early career scientists in the biennial Gordon Research Conference on Coastal Ocean Dynamics and its associated Gordon Research Seminar. This conference brings together a diverse group of academic, federal and international researchers to share the latest advances and identify new challenges in coastal ocean dynamics. The conference focuses on novel and recent developments in the application of observations, theory, and numerical modeling and simulation to furthering understanding of coastal ocean processes and our capabilities for their prediction. It is at the coast that human activities are most connected with ocean circulation, and ocean modeling offers great promise for connecting scientific research to societal needs through such efforts as forecasting for marine operations and maritime safety, monitoring and prediction of water quality and the transport and dispersal of water borne pathogens, mapping and characterizing the habitats of marine life, and downscaling global models of climate variability and climatic change to infer their impacts in the coastal zone. The most important broader impact of the conference is the establishment and nurturing of relationships between senior researchers, junior researchers and students. Nearly half of the conference time is allocated to informal interactions among participants, to provide numerous opportunities to build these relationships and exchange ideas among people in different age groups, different sub-disciplines of the field, or from different geographic regions. Funds will be used to expand the demographic, professional and geographic diversity of participants by supporting attendance by under-represented and under-resourced groups who stand to benefit from the intellectual environment and networking opportunities of the Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar formats.This award provides funding for travel and registration support to U.S. based early-career professionals and students to attend the Gordon Research Conference on Coastal Ocean Dynamics which will be held at the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine, June 10-16, 2017. This conference, convened every two years now that the former GRC Coastal Ocean Circulation and Coastal Ocean Modeling have been combined, brings together a diverse group of academic, federal and international researchers to share the latest advances and identify new challenges in coastal ocean dynamics. Here the term "coastal" refers to estuarine, littoral zone, continental shelf, and shelf-break regions, including mesoscale exchange processes with the adjacent deep-ocean or marginal seas. The topics covered will include: 1) High-Latitude Coastal Dynamics and Exchange Processes; 2) Coastal Modeling and Data Assimilation; 3) Recent Advances in Estuarine Dynamics; 4) Fluxes and Transformation across the Outer to Inner Shelves; 5) Coastal Sediment Transport Processes; 6) Challenges and Successes in Physical Oceanography for the Understanding of Fisheries and Other Ecosystems; 7) New Techniques in Satellite Assimilation and Remote Sensing; 8) Multi-Scale Interactions of Coastal Physics and Biogeochemistry; and 9) Recent Anomalous Ocean Conditions and the Coasts Where we Live. In 2017 the Coastal Ocean Dynamics GRC will be accompanied by a Gordon Research Seminar that specifically targets professional development of students and early career scientists, thereby greatly expanding the broader impact of the GRC itself. New in 2017 is a GRC Power Hour, created to support the professional growth of women in our scientific communities and to build on GRC's history of inclusion.

该奖项支持美国早期职业科学家参加两年一度的戈登沿海海洋动力学研究会议及其相关的戈登研究研讨会。本次会议汇集了学术界，联邦和国际研究人员的多元化群体，分享最新进展，并确定沿海海洋动力学的新挑战。会议重点关注观测，理论和数值建模和模拟应用的新的和最新的发展，以进一步了解沿海海洋过程及其预测能力。正是在海岸，人类活动与海洋环流联系最紧密，海洋建模为将科学研究与社会需求联系起来提供了巨大的希望，例如预测海洋作业和海上安全，监测和预测水质以及水生病原体的传播和扩散，绘制海洋生物栖息地的地图和描述其特征，以及缩小全球气候变率和气候变化模型的尺度，以推断其对沿海地区的影响。会议最重要的更广泛的影响是建立和培养高级研究人员，初级研究人员和学生之间的关系。近一半的会议时间被分配给与会者之间的非正式互动，以提供大量的机会来建立这些关系，并在不同年龄组，该领域的不同子学科或来自不同地理区域的人之间交流思想。资金将用于扩大人口，通过支持代表性不足和资源不足的团体出席会议，促进参与者的专业和地理多样性，这些团体将从戈登研究会议和戈登研究研讨会的智力环境和网络机会中受益。该奖项为美国的早期研究提供旅行和注册支持。职业专业人士和学生参加戈登沿海海洋动力学研究会议，该会议将于2017年6月10日至16日在缅因州比德福德的新英格兰大学举行。这次会议，每两年召开一次，现在前GRC沿海海洋环流和沿海海洋建模已经结合，汇集了学术，联邦和国际研究人员的多元化群体，分享最新进展，并确定沿海海洋动力学的新挑战。这里的“沿海”一词是指河口、沿岸的地带、大陆架和陆架断裂区，包括与邻近深海或边缘海的中尺度交换过程。 所涉及的主题将包括：1）高纬度海岸动力学和交换过程; 2）海岸模拟和数据同化; 3）河口动力学的最新进展; 4）从外大陆架到内大陆架的通量和转化; 5）海岸沉积物输运过程; 6）物理海洋学的挑战和成功，以了解渔业和其他生态系统; 7）卫星同化和遥感新技术; 8）海岸物理学和生物地球化学的多尺度相互作用; 9）最近异常海洋条件和我们生活的海岸。在2017年沿海海洋动力学GRC将伴随着戈登研究研讨会，专门针对学生和早期职业科学家的专业发展，从而大大扩大了GRC本身的更广泛的影响。2017年的新活动是GRC Power Hour，旨在支持我们科学界女性的专业成长，并建立在GRC包容的历史基础上。
