Physical Oceanography Dissertations Symposium XII and XIII

该项目资助了2022年10月在夏威夷凯卢阿-科纳举行的第十二届物理海洋学论文研讨会(PODS)会议。这些研讨会设立于2002年，目的是为了科学讨论和互动的目的，将代表其雇用机构的物理海洋学新近毕业的博士聚集在一起。一旦被选为这些会议的参与者，这些人将被要求在他们的专业同行面前展示他们的论文研究，并在参与者之间建立专业关系，以促进他们未来的研究和在其雇佣机构的学术生涯。该计划仿照1978年首次举行的非常成功的化学海洋学论文研讨会(DISCO)，并以类似的方式编排。预计吊舱专题讨论会将与迪斯科专题讨论会同时举行。对迪斯科会议的支持由一笔单独的赠款提供，但两个群体之间的互动是拟议的豆荚专题讨论会目标的组成部分。豆荚研讨会将产生一批物理海洋学领域的早期职业专业人员，他们来自截然不同的背景和地理来源，有助于创建一个将持续整个职业生涯的同行指导小组。此外，吊舱和迪斯科会议相结合产生的跨学科联系将促进未来的跨学科理解和合作，使其雇用机构受益。因此，豆荚参与者将处于独特的位置，可以利用个人和群体之间的网络，这对于促进科学知识的进步和应对即将到来的环境挑战的准备非常重要。这些豆荚与会者在提高我们对海洋和地球科学进程的理解方面发挥了关键作用，这些进程为制定合理的气候相关政策提供了至关重要的科学框架。此外，作为一个少数群体机构，夏威夷大学促进了传统上代表性不足的群体与少数群体之间的互动。计划中的会议活动包括与会者与学生之间的互动，特别是海洋学系全球环境科学项目的本科生。在美国和其他国家的学术机构工作的物理海洋学家将在国际上广泛宣布豆荚研讨会，以发展申请者队伍。经纪公司人员将从这个池中选择受邀者。会议将包括按研究主题领域分组的一系列会议，由选定的受邀者主持，还将包括由与会者领导的讨论时段。除了由该领域的一名特邀资深科学家作初步介绍外，还将由机构人员作介绍并与之讨论，解释供资机制和战略。参与者将组成分组讨论当前研究中的问题，以及在该领域的职业道路上的障碍和机会，然后通过正式演讲向机构人员提供反馈。通过邀请两个不同的研讨会受邀者在围绕特定主题的晚间讨论会议上聚在一起，目标是拓宽与会者的学科专业知识，促进未来的合作，并将他们的研究与未来几代科学家的教育联系起来。该项目的资金将包括会议场地租金、视听支持费用，以及与与会者支持相关的航空旅行、酒店住宿和M&Amp；IE费用，这些费用没有作为研讨会的一部分提供。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。

This project funds the 12th Physical Oceanography Dissertation Symposium (PODS) conference in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii in October 2022. These symposia were established in 2002 to bring together, for the purposes of scientific discussion and interactions, recent PhD graduates in physical oceanography who represent their employing institutions. Once selected to be a participant at these meetings, these individuals will be required to present their dissertation research in front of their professional peers and to forge professional relationships between the participants that will facilitate their future research and academic careers at their employing institutions. This program is modeled after the highly successful Dissertations Symposium in Chemical Oceanography (DISCO) meetings, which were first held in 1978, and is formatted in a similar manner. It is anticipated that the PODS symposia will be held in parallel with the DISCO symposia. Support for the DISCO meetings is covered under a separate grant, but interactions between the two groups are an integral part of the goals of the proposed PODS symposia. The PODS symposia will produce a cohort group of early career professionals in the field of physical oceanography from widely differing backgrounds and geographical origins, serving to create a peer mentoring group that will last throughout their careers. In addition, the cross-disciplinary contacts arising from the combination of the PODS and DISCO meetings will foster future inter-disciplinary understanding and collaborations, benefitting their employing institutions. Thus, the PODS participants will be uniquely situated to take advantage of networking between individuals and groups, which is of great importance to foster advances in scientific knowledge and preparedness to meet upcoming environmental challenges. These PODS attendees play a critical role in improving our understanding of ocean and earth science processes, which provide the scientific framework vital for developing rational climate-related policies. In addition, as a minority institution, the University of Hawaii fosters interactions between traditionally under-represented groups and minorities. Planned meeting activities include interactions between meeting participants and students, particularly undergraduates in the Department of Oceanography’s Global Environmental Sciences program.A broad international announcement of the PODS symposia will be made to physical oceanographers working at academic institutions in both the US and other countries to develop an applicant pool. From this pool, agency personnel will select invitees. The meeting will consist of a series of sessions grouped by research subject area that are chaired by selected invitees and will also include participant-led discussion periods. In addition to an initial presentation by an invited senior scientist in the field, there will also be presentations by, and discussion with, agency personnel explaining funding mechanisms and strategies. Participants will form breakout groups to discuss current issues in research, as well as obstacles and opportunities to career paths in the field, then provide feedback to agency personnel through formal presentations. By bringing the two separate symposia invitees together in evening discussion sessions revolving around specific topics, the goal is to broaden the disciplinary expertise of the participants, promote future collaborations, and to make connections between their research and the education of future generations of scientists. The funds in this project will cover meeting venue rentals, audio-visual support costs, as well as participant support related costs of air travel, hotel accommodation, and M&IE that are not provided as part of the symposium.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.
