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 theory, observations, and numerical modeling to further understanding coastal ocean processes and improving our predictive capabilities. 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, 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. An important broader impact of the conference is the establishment and nurturing of relationships between senior researchers, junior researchers and students for a variety of institutions. 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 Southern New Hampshire University in Manchester, New Hampshire, from June 16-21, 2019. This conference, convened every two years, 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) Shelf and Nearshore Sediment Transport Dynamics; 2) Novel Coastal Oceanographic Measurements and Analysis Techniques; 3) Links Between Biogeochemical Dynamics and Coastal Ocean Physics; 4) Coastal Ocean Observation and Modelling; 5) Advances in Understanding the Physics of Shallow and Nearshore Coastal Waters; 6) Progress in Estuarine Physics; 7) Physical Oceanography and Ocean Derived Energy; 8) Sub-mesoscale Processes and Non-Linear Internal Waves; and 9) Discussion of Late-Breaking Topics in Coastal Dynamics. 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. Building on GRC's history of inclusion, the conference will include a special session (GRC Power Hour) dedicated to supporting the professional growth of women in our scientific communities.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.

该奖项支持美国早期职业科学家参加双年展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。这次会议汇集了各种各样的学术，联邦和国际研究人员，以分享最新进展，并确定沿海海洋动力学的新挑战。该会议的重点是在理论，观察和数值建模应用方面的新颖和最新发展，以进一步了解沿海海洋过程并提高我们的预测能力。 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, 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.会议的一个重要的广泛影响是建立和培育高级研究人员，初级研究人员和学生之间的关系。会议时间的近一半分配给参与者之间的非正式互动，以提供许多机会，以在不同年龄段的人，不同的群中或不同地理区域之间建立这些关系和交换思想。资金将用于通过支持不足和资源不足的团体的出勤来扩大参与者的人口，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。 2019年6月16日至21日，新罕布什尔州曼彻斯特的汉普郡大学每两年召集一次一次会议，汇集了一群多样化的学术，联邦和国际研究人员，以分享最新进展并确定沿海海洋动力学的新挑战。在这里，“沿海”一词是指河口，沿海地区，大陆架和架子破裂地区，包括与邻近的深海或边际海洋的中尺度交换过程。 涵盖的主题包括：1）架子和近岸沉积物运输动力学； 2）新型的沿海海洋学测量和分析技术； 3）生物地球化学动力学与沿海海洋物理学之间的联系； 4）沿海海洋观察和建模； 5）了解浅水和近岸沿海水域的物理学的进步； 6）河口物理学的进展； 7）物理海洋学和海洋得出的能量； 8）亚尺度尺度过程和非线性内波； 9）讨论沿海动态中的后期主题。沿海海洋动力学GRC将伴随着戈登研究研讨会，该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本身的广泛影响。在GRC的包容史的基础上，会议将包括一个特别会议（GRC Power Hour），该会议致力于支持我们科学社区中妇女的专业成长。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛影响的评估标准来通过评估来支持的。
