Collection and analysis of seafloor sediment samples is a fundamental tool in marine geology. Sediment sampling is key to the study of earthquake hazards, climate change, and the deep biosphere. This project will focus on training scientists for seafloor sampling best practices. Practices encompass planning and executing an oceanographic field expedition involving collection of deep-sea marine sediments. The shore-based training will introduce participants to critical aspects of cruise planning and site selection. Such selection uses basic geophysical techniques, access to data, and use of core repositories. Participants will design a science-driven cruise plan with guidance from an experienced team of mentors. Then, the participants will sail on a UNOLS global class vessel to gain hands-on experience. The experience includes working with site survey, sampling equipment, and shipboard data collection. The training will conclude ashore with a review of the scientific outcomes of the cruise. The post-cruise component will allow for hands-on training. The training will include analytical, interpretive and archival techniques. The training will set the stage for efficient and successful future research using the collected materials. Participant selection will focus on promoting equity and diversity in marine geoscience. In August of 2019 a detailed survey was conducted to quantify interest in early career coring training for prospective NSF principal investigators. Nearly a hundred responses were submitted in a period of less than two weeks, highlighting community need and demand for a training opportunity that encompasses cruise planning, site selection, shipboard operations, core processing and curation. This proposal is to provide a sediment coring principal investigator (PI) training for early career scientists (ECS). Training will consist of a coupled workshop and field program: a field-based coring program of ten days aboard a UNOLS vessel to be directed by the early-career participants, bracketed by week-long pre-and post-cruise workshops. In the pre-cruise workshop participants will plan the cruise and select sites to be cored with the support and guidance of a team of experienced mentors. They will be trained in the utility of legacy data at the Oregon State University Marine Geology Repository (OSU MGR). They will also be introduced to the NSF Marine Sediment Sampling (MARSSAM) facility and the technical and logistical support offered to NSF coring PI’s by MARSSAM staff. At sea, participants will be trained in the operation and deployment of various coring systems, chirp and multi-beam data acquisition and interpretation, final site selection, core processing, multi-sensor core logger data collection and interpretation, and shipboard core description and curation. At the post-cruise workshop, senior mentors will guide participants through interpretation of core descriptions, integration of collected cores and preliminary physical property data with the stratigraphic/depositional environment. Participants will also be introduced to relevant analytical techniques and appropriate archival, sampling and data management practices.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.

海底沉积物样品的收集和分析是海洋地质学的基本工具。沉积物采样是研究地震危害，气候变化和深层生物圈的关键。该项目将着重于培训科学家的海底抽样最佳实践。练习包括规划和执行海洋学探险，涉及收集深海海洋沉积物。基于海岸的培训将向参与者介绍邮轮计划和现场选择的关键方面。这种选择使用基本的地球物理技术，访问数据以及核心存储库的使用。参与者将在经验丰富的导师团队的指导下设计一个以科学为导向的巡航计划。然后，参与者将乘坐UNOLS全球级别的船只航行，以获得动手体验。经验包括使用现场调查，采样设备和船上数据收集。该培训将包括对巡航科学成果进行审查的岸上。裁判后的组成部分将允许动手培训。培训将包括分析，解释性和档案技术。培训将为使用收集的材料提供高效，成功的未来研究奠定阶段。参与者的选择将着重于促进海洋地球科学的公平和多样性。 2019年8月，进行了详细的调查，以量化潜在的NSF首席研究人员的早期职业训练培训的兴趣。在不到两周的时间内提交了近一百个回复，强调了社区的需求和需求，包括培训机会，其中包括邮轮计划，现场选择，船上运营，核心处理和策划。该提议是为早期职业科学家（ECS）提供沉积物加油首席研究员（PI）培训。培训将包括一个耦合的研讨会和现场课程：一个基于现场的训练计划，该计划是由早期参与者指示的UNOLS船上的十天，由长达一周的灌溉前和灌装后讲习班进行了支架。在灌木学前研讨会中，参与者将计划巡航，并在经验导师团队的支持和指导下进行选择。他们将在俄勒冈州立大学海洋地质存储库（OSU MGR）的旧数据实用程序中接受培训。它们还将被介绍给NSF海洋沉积物采样（MARSSAM）设施，以及Marssam员工为NSF Coring Pi提供的技术和后勤支持。在海上，将对参与者进行各种芯片系统的操作和部署，CHIRP和多光束数据获取和解释，最终站点选择，核心处理，多传感器核心记录数据收集和解释以及Shipboard Core Core描述和策展。在灌溉后研讨会上，高级导师将指导参与者通过解释核心描述，集成核心的整合以及初步的物理财产数据与地层/沉积环境。参与者还将被引入相关的分析技术和适当的档案，抽样和数据管理实践。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，通过评估被认为是宝贵的支持。
