AccelNet-Implementation: Implementing a Deep Ocean Observing Strategy (iDOOS)

200米以下的深海鲜为人知。这个充满活力的领域是生物多样性的巨大储存库，提供关键的气候调节，并拥有丰富的碳氢化合物、矿物和遗传资源。在为可持续发展和管理提供信息所需的水平上观察深海面临重大的技术和后勤挑战。为了应对这些挑战，iDOOS项目将实施深海观测战略(DOOS)，将美国和参与持续深海观测、测绘、探索、建模、研究和管理的国际网络聚集在一起，以利用彼此的努力、知识和资源。这一实施项目将推动在全球海洋观测系统(全球海洋观测系统)的框架下开展工作并被认可为联合国海洋十年行动的海洋观测系统社区推动的倡议。通过连接各学科的深海观察员，扩大观察界以包括非传统伙伴，并将数据提供者与用户联系起来，iDOOS将增强全球海洋观测系统的深海能力，并针对社会需求。通过与政策制定者、监管机构和科学协调员的接触，iDOOS将提高对深海科学的认识和支持，并将科学纳入有关气候、生物多样性和可持续发展的关键决策。IDOOS将在全球范围内培养一群精通深海观测、建模和数据科学的未来领导者，他们擅长与监管机构和政策制定者以及其他科学家进行沟通。iDOOS涉及三个主题：(1)深海观测需求设定；(2)促进综合观测的协调和实施，以满足可持续发展目标和社会需求；以及(3)转化知识和数据，以便能够对全球深海进行基于科学的决策、监管和治理。这些主题将通过区域示范项目框架加以整合和应用。海洋观测系统将与全球海洋观测系统的纪律专家小组合作，完善深海需求方面的基本海洋变量，并与网络伙伴合作，最大限度地执行和使用这些变量。此外，该项目还有两项交叉活动。注重数据/信息学将为确定要求的主题贡献最佳做法和标准，支持各工作组的活动，并为职业生涯初期的研究人员提供量身定制的培训。该项目旨在实现可查找、可访问、可互操作和可重复使用(公平)的深海数据和一支支持数据的深海劳动力队伍。IDOOS的一个关键要素是对下一代的指导和培训。IDOOS将汇集来自合作网络、更广泛的深海观察界以及发展中国家和土著社区的深海早期职业研究人员(实干家)网络。通过主题工作组，该项目将进行培训活动和会议，以显著提高参与网络和更广泛的深海科学领域的正义、公平、多样性、包容性和归属感。通过国际网络对网络合作加速研究(AccelNet)计划旨在加快科学发现的进程，并为多团队国际合作培养下一代美国研究人员。AccelNet计划支持美国研究网络和海外互补网络之间的战略联系，这些网络将利用研究和教育资源来应对需要大量国际协调努力的重大科学挑战。该奖项反映了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。

The deep ocean below 200 m is poorly known. This dynamic realm is a vast repository for biodiversity, provides critical climate regulation, and houses a wealth of hydrocarbon, mineral, and genetic resources. Observing the deep ocean at a level required to inform sustainable development and management faces significant technical and logistical challenges. To address these challenges, the iDOOS project will implement a Deep-Ocean Observing Strategy (DOOS) that brings together U.S. and international networks engaged in sustained deep-ocean observing, mapping, exploration, modeling, research, and management to leverage each other’s efforts, knowledge, and resources. This implementation project will boost the DOOS community-driven initiative, working under the umbrella of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) and endorsed as a United Nations Ocean Decade Action. By connecting deep-ocean observers across disciplines, expanding the observing community to include non-traditional partners, and linking data providers to users, iDOOS will enhance the GOOS deep-ocean capabilities and target societal needs. Through engagement with policy makers, regulators, and science coordinators, iDOOS will raise awareness and support for deep-ocean science, and bring science into critical decisions regarding climate, biodiversity and sustainability. iDOOS will foster a community of future leaders informed in deep-ocean observing, modeling, and data science at a global level who are adept at communicating to regulators and policy makers as well as fellow scientists.iDOOS addresses three main themes: (1) requirement setting for deep ocean observing; (2) promoting the coordination and implementation of integrated observing to address Sustainable Development Goals and societal needs; and (3) translating knowledge and data to allow science-based decision-making, regulation and governance of the global deep ocean. These themes will be integrated and applied via the framework of regional demonstration projects. iDOOS will work with the GOOS disciplinary expert panels to refine Essential Ocean Variables in terms of deep ocean requirements, and with network partners to maximize their implementation and use. In addition, the project has two cross-cutting activities. A focus on data/informatics will contribute best practices and standards to the requirement-setting theme, support activities across the working groups, and offer tailored training to early-career researchers. The project aims to enable findable, accessible, interoperable, and reusable (FAIR) deep-sea data and a data-enabled, deep-sea workforce. A key element of iDOOS is the mentorship and training of the next generation. iDOOS will assemble a network of Deep Ocean Early career Researchers (DOERs) drawing from collaborating networks, the broader deep-ocean observing community, as well as from developing countries and indigenous communities. Through the theme working groups, the project will conduct training activities and meetings to substantially improve justice, equity, diversity, inclusion, and belonging among the participating networks and more broadly within deep-ocean science.The Accelerating Research through International Network-to-Network Collaborations (AccelNet) program is designed to accelerate the process of scientific discovery and prepare the next generation of U.S. researchers for multiteam international collaborations. The AccelNet program supports strategic linkages among U.S. research networks and complementary networks abroad that will leverage research and educational resources to tackle grand scientific challenges that require significant coordinated international efforts.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.
