Physical Oceanography Dissertation Symposia X and XI

该奖项支持于2018年10月和2020年10月组织第10届和第11届物理海洋学论文研讨会（PODS）会议。这些研讨会成立于2002年，旨在将物理海洋学和相关领域的近期或即将获得博士学位的毕业生聚集在一起，进行科学讨论和互动。这个程序是模仿非常成功的论文研讨会在化学海洋学（DISCO）会议，这是在1978年首次举行，并以类似的方式格式化。预期发展计划专题讨论会将与迪斯科专题讨论会同时举行，因为这两个小组之间的相互作用是拟议的发展计划专题讨论会目标的一个组成部分。将向在美国和其他国家的学术和研究机构工作的物理海洋学家广泛宣布pod专题讨论会，以建立一个申请人池。机构工作人员将从这些人当中挑选被邀请者。会议将包括一系列按研究领域分组的科学会议，由选定的受邀者主持。每个参与者将在适当的会议上向他们的专业同行展示他们的论文研究，然后是参与者主导的讨论期。这些活动将在参与者之间建立专业关系，这将促进海洋学未来的研究和学术事业。研讨会还将包括一位受邀的该领域资深科学家的初步介绍，以及机构人员的介绍和讨论，解释供资机制和战略。参与者将组成分组讨论研究中的当前问题，以及该领域职业道路的障碍和机会，然后通过正式演讲向机构人员提供反馈。晚上的讨论将围绕特定的主题，由来自两个研讨会（PODS和DISCO）的参与者组织，目的是扩大参与者的学科专业知识，促进未来的跨学科合作，并在研究和教育之间建立适用于后代科学家的联系。来自广泛不同背景和地理来源的物理海洋学领域的早期职业专业人员的参与将导致创建一个可能对职业生涯有持久影响的同侪指导小组。与会者在提高我们对海洋和地球科学过程的理解方面发挥着关键作用，为推进基础海洋学研究提供了科学框架。与DISCO参与者的融合促进了跨学科研究的发展。此外，作为一所少数族裔机构，夏威夷大学促进了传统上代表性不足的群体和少数族裔之间的互动。计划的会议活动包括与会者与学生之间的互动，特别是海洋系全球环境科学项目的本科生。

This award supports the organization of the 10th and 11th editions of the Physical Oceanography Dissertation Symposium (PODS) conferences in October 2018 and October 2020. These symposia were established in 2002 to bring together, for the purposes of scientific discussion and interactions, recent or soon to be Ph.D. graduates in physical oceanography and closely related fields. This program is modeled after the highly successful Dissertations Symposium in Chemical Oceanography (DISCO) meetings, which were first held in 1978, and is formatted in a similar manner. It is anticipated that the PODS symposia will be held in parallel with the DISCO symposia as interactions between the two groups are an integral part of the goals of the proposed PODS symposia. A broad international announcement of the PODS symposia will be made to physical oceanographers working at academic and research institutions in both the US and other countries to develop an applicant pool. From this pool, agency personnel will select invitees. The meeting will consist of a series of scientific sessions grouped by research subject area that are chaired by selected invitees. Each participant will present their dissertation research to their professional peers, in the appropriate session, followed by a participant-led discussion period. These activities will forge professional relationships between the participants that will facilitate future research and academic careers in oceanography. The symposium will also include an initial presentation by an invited senior scientist in the field, and presentations by, and discussion with, agency personnel explaining funding mechanisms and strategies. Participants will form breakout groups to discuss current issues in research, as well as obstacles and opportunities to career paths in the field, then provide feedback to agency personnel through formal presentations. Evening discussion sessions revolving around specific topics will be organized with participants from both symposia (PODS and DISCO) with the goal of broadening the disciplinary expertise of the participants, promote future inter-disciplinary collaborations, and make connections between research and education applicable to future generations of scientists. The participation of early career professionals in the field of physical oceanography from widely differing backgrounds and geographical origins, will lead in the creation of a peer mentoring group that could potentially be career-lasting. The attendees play a critical role in improving our understanding of ocean and earth science processes, which provide the scientific framework for advancing fundamental oceanographic research. The integration with participants in DISCO promotes the development of inter-disciplinary research. In addition, as a minority institution, the University of Hawaii fosters interactions between traditionally under-represented groups and minorities. Planned meeting activities include interactions between meeting participants and students, particularly undergraduates in the Department of Oceanography's Global Environmental Sciences program.
