Ocean Carbon Biogeochemistry Project Office

该奖项将支持设在伍兹霍尔海洋研究所的海洋碳和生物地球化学（OCB）项目办公室的活动。OCB计划成立于2006年，是美国碳循环科学计划的主要活动之一，旨在促进、规划和协调涉及海洋碳循环的多学科活动和研究机会。OCB支持一个不断发展的科学网络，促进跨学科合作，并推进我们对海洋生态系统碳循环动力学及其对环境变化的反应的机械理解。OCB项目办公室作为OCB计划的中心，协调高影响力的社群活动，将不同学科聚集在一起，以促进对海洋碳循环研究各个方面的科学理解。OCB活动为科学探究和讨论提供了一个有效的跨学科模型和论坛，这些模型和论坛以新的合作和资助项目、实地活动、手稿、特别期刊卷和其他出版物（如科学计划）的形式产生了许多好处，并有机会参与美国和国际科学规划计划。该奖项的目的是继续NSF支持OCB项目办公室及其社群活动。未来五年的拟议活动包括OCB的年度跨学科夏季研讨会和社区驱动的范围界定研讨会，小组，培训和能力建设活动，这些活动是通过年度公开社区征集确定的基层社区驱动的努力。海洋能力建设办公室将继续通过以下方式让科学家和更广泛的受众参与海洋碳循环相关问题：早期职业参与和旅行支助;开发和分发教育和外联产品;以及影响力大的交流平台，包括一个新的、更易于浏览和更有吸引力的网站（us-ocb.org）、专题信息网站（例如，海洋施肥）、订阅量很高（1 800名成员）的电子通讯《海洋碳交易所》和社交媒体平台。凭借其积极响应的风格，OCB还将继续促进及时的科学综合活动，并加强与美国和国际合作伙伴计划的伙伴关系。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。

This award will support the activities of the Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) Project Office, based at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. The OCB Program was created in 2006 as one of the major activities of the U.S. Carbon Cycle Science Program to promote, plan, and coordinate multidisciplinary activities and research opportunities involving the ocean carbon cycle. OCB supports a continually growing scientific network that fosters interdisciplinary collaborations and advances our mechanistic understanding of marine ecosystem-carbon cycle dynamics and their responses to environmental change. The OCB Project Office, as the hub of the OCB Program, coordinates high-impact community activities that bring different disciplines together to advance scientific understanding in all aspects of ocean carbon cycle research. OCB activities provide an effective interdisciplinary model and forum for scientific inquiry and discussion that have yielded numerous benefits in the form of new collaborations and funded projects, field campaigns, manuscripts, special journal volumes and other publications such as science plans, and opportunities to engage with U.S. and international science planning initiatives. The purpose of this award is to continue NSF support of the OCB Project Office and its community activities. Activities proposed for the next five years include OCB's annual interdisciplinary summer workshop and community-driven scoping workshops, small group, training, and capacity building activities, which are grassroots, community-driven efforts determined through an annual open community solicitation. OCB will continue to engage scientists and broader audiences on issues pertaining to the ocean carbon cycle through early career engagement and travel support; development and distribution of education and outreach products; and high-impact communication platforms, including a new, more navigable and attractive website (us-ocb.org), topical informational websites (e.g., ocean fertilization), a highly subscribed (1,800 members) eNewsletter The Ocean Carbon Exchange, and social media platforms. With its responsive style, OCB will also continue to facilitate timely scientific synthesis activities and strengthen partnerships with U.S. and international partner programs.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.
