Workshop Proposal: Advancing Frontiers in Seafloor Science and Engineering Research

PI要求提供资金，以支持将两个不同的社区聚集在一起的研讨会：海洋科学和工程以及学术工程。他们提议在波士顿东北大学举办为期两天的研讨会（日期待定），将研究海底问题的研究人员/工程师和在陆地上开发传感器网络和网络的研究人员/工程师聚集在一起。 研讨会的目标是确定差距和未来的技术需求，以推进下一代海底科学的最新发展。最终的成果将是一份报告，其中将阐述这些主题，以及解决海底科学技术需求和差距的技术路线图。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The PIs request funding to support a workshop that will bring together two diverse communities: marine science and engineering and academic engineering. They propose a two-day workshop at Northeastern University in Boston (date to be determined), will bring together researcher/engineers who work on problems on the seafloor and in sensing with those who work on land developing sensor networks and networking. The goal of the workshop is to identify gaps and future technology needs for advancing the state of the art for the next generation of seafloor science. The final deliverable will be a report that addresses these topics and a technology roadmap that addresses the technology needs and gaps for seafloor science.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
