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.

该奖项支持在2018年10月和2020年10月组织第10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，为了科学讨论和互动的目的，最近或即将成为博士。物理海洋学及相关领域的毕业生。该计划是仿照非常成功的化学海洋学论文研讨会（DISCO）会议，首次于1978年举行，并以类似的方式格式化。预计极轨道密度卫星专题讨论会将与DISCO专题讨论会同时举行，因为这两个小组之间的互动是拟议极轨道密度卫星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PODS研讨会的国际通知，以建立申请人库。机构工作人员将从这一人才库中挑选受邀者。会议将包括按研究主题领域分组的一系列科学会议，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，促进海洋学未来的研究和学术生涯。 专题讨论会还将包括一名受邀的该领域资深科学家的初步介绍，以及机构工作人员的介绍和讨论，解释供资机制和战略。与会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。围绕特定主题的晚间讨论会将与来自两个研讨会（PODS和DISCO）的参与者一起组织，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，并将研究和教育联系起来，适用于未来的科学家。来自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，将导致建立一个可能具有持久职业生涯的同行指导小组。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至关重要的作用，这些过程为推进基础海洋学研究提供了科学框架。与DISCO参与者的整合促进了跨学科研究的发展。此外，作为一个少数民族机构，夏威夷大学促进传统上代表性不足的群体和少数民族之间的互动。计划的会议活动包括与会者和学生之间的互动，特别是海洋学系全球环境科学项目的本科生。
