Oceanhackweek: A Workshop to Explore Data Science in Oceanography; August 2019; Seattle, Washington

2019年海洋黑客周将是一场为期5天的高强度学习黑客马拉松活动，于2019年8月26-30日在华盛顿大学举行。黑客马拉松为加快采用数据科学方法和计算工具进行海洋科学界的数据密集型研究提供了途径。这些技能对于现代海洋学家通过利用数据革命来解决复杂的科学问题是不可或缺的。海洋黑客周不同于传统的学术会议和一次性的黑客松，其身临其境的课程、协作的学习环境，以及一套精心设计的参与者选择标准，有助于促进多样性和包容性。这些设计有助于刺激协作的跨学科想法，并帮助将最佳数据科学实践吸收到海洋科学中。黑客马拉松将专注于各种海洋数据，包括来自海洋观测系统的数据，该系统是由美国国家科学基金会海洋科学部支持的海洋数据设施。将使用的其他数据库包括CLIVAR和碳水文数据办公室(CCHDO)和从甲板到储存库(R2R)的数据库。海洋黑客周的重点不仅是促进数据科学素养，而且是建立一个包容和有凝聚力的海洋学家社区，以供学习和分享。黑客松的机会将在传统的学术场所和社交媒体上在国内和国际上进行广告宣传。参与者将由一个咨询委员会挑选，该委员会将寻求创建一个多元化的海洋数据用户社区。组织者计划鼓励和授权参与者将在黑客周期间获得的技能和形成的社区意识带回自己的实验室和机构。除了密集的面对面研讨会，海洋黑客周教程将作为持久的开放在线资源保持下去，让任何人都可以参与和自学。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Oceanhackweek 2019 will be a 5-day intensive "learning hackathon", held during August 26-30, 2019 at the University of Washington. The hackathon provides an avenue for expediting the adoption of data science methodologies and computational tools for data-intensive research in the ocean sciences community. These skills are indispensable for modern-day oceanographers to tackle complex scientific questions by harnessing the data revolution. Oceanhackweek differs from traditional academic conferences and one-off hackathons by its immersive curriculum, collaborative learning environment, and a set of carefully crafted participant selection criteria that helps promote diversity and inclusivity. These designs help spurs collaborative interdisciplinary ideas and help ingest best data science practices into ocean sciences. The hackathon will focus on a variety of ocean data, including data from the Ocean Observing System, an ocean data facility supported by the National Science Foundation's Division of Ocean Sciences. Other databases that will be used include the CLIVAR and Carbon Hydrographic Data Office (CCHDO) and Rolling Deck to Repository (R2R) database. Oceanhackweek focuses not only on promoting data science literacy but also on building an inclusive and cohesive community of oceanographers for learning and sharing. The hackathon opportunity will be advertised nationally and internationally in traditional academic venues and via social media. Participants will be selected by an advisory committee that will seek to create a diverse community of ocean data users. The organizers plan to encourage and empower participants to bring the skills gained and the sense of community formed during the hackweek back to their own labs and institutions. Beyond the intensive in-person workshop, Oceanhackweek tutorials will be maintained as persistent open online resources to allow anyone to partake and self-learn.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.
