Special issue of Oceanography titled, A Vision for Capacity Sharing in the Ocean Sciences

开展海洋科学所需的资源在全球分布不均，阻碍了为当今世界面临的一些最具挑战性的海洋问题制定切实可行的、以科学为基础的解决方案。海洋学会将出版《海洋学》杂志的特刊，该杂志将：(1)描述海洋科学、技术和应用领域持续能力共享的全球益处；(2)确定能力共享的障碍；(3)分享关于如何建设和维持能力共享计划的最佳做法，包括领导此类计划的人的经验教训；(4)强调能力共享对就业和经济的重要性；以及(5)确定现有和新的能力共享方案之间的协同作用，包括通过联合国海洋科学促进可持续发展十年(2021-2030年)、海洋研究科学委员会(SCOR)、全球海洋观测伙伴关系(POGO)和国际海洋学委员会(IOC)的国际海洋学数据和信息交换(IODE)形成的方案。目标是为读者提供宝贵的资源，激励许多方面采取行动实现这些目标。海洋学会(TOS)将出版开放获取期刊《海洋学》的一期特刊，主题是海洋科学的能力共享。计划于2024年发行的这期特刊，将揭示全球范围的海洋科学能力共享的好处以及项目所面临的障碍。它将确定实施更高质量和更好协调的全球能力共享的实际步骤。该特刊将鼓励全球海洋科学界更广泛地参与这一重要努力。重点将放在如何更好地协调世界各地海洋科学方面广泛的正规教育方案和能力共享努力，特别是关于共同设计以研究为基础的解决方案以满足社会需求、标准化数据格式化和信息管理以及低成本观测方法等主题。该特刊将有助于联合国海洋科学十年的可持续发展挑战9：“确保海洋科学各方面和所有利益相关者的综合能力发展和公平获取数据、信息、知识和技术”。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 resources needed to conduct ocean science are not evenly distributed globally, hindering the development of practical, science-based solutions to some of the most challenging ocean problems facing the world today. The Oceanography Society will publish a special issue of the journal "Oceanography" that will: (1) describe the global benefits of sustained capacity sharing in ocean science, technology, and applications; (2) identify the barriers to capacity sharing; (3) share best practices on how to build and sustain capacity-sharing programs, including lessons learned by those who have led such programs; (4) highlight the importance of capacity sharing to jobs and the economy; and (5) identify synergies among existing and new capacity-sharing programs, including those formed through the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development (2021–2030), the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR), the Partnership for Observation of the Global Ocean (POGO), and the International Oceanographic Data and Information Exchange (IODE) of the International Oceanographic Commission (IOC). The goal is to provide readers with a valuable resource that will inspire actions on many fronts to achieve these objectives.The Oceanography Society (TOS) will publish a special issue of the open-access journal "Oceanography" on the subject of capacity sharing in the Ocean Sciences. The special issue, planned for 2024, will shine a light on the benefits of global-scale capacity sharing in the ocean sciences and the barriers programs have faced. It will identify practical steps toward implementing higher-quality and better coordinated global capacity sharing. The special issue will encourage wider participation of the global ocean science community in this important endeavor. A focus will be on how to better coordinate the wide array of formal education programs and capacity-sharing efforts in ocean science around the world, particularly on themes such as co-design of research-based solutions to societal needs, standardized data formatting and information management, and low-cost observing approaches. The special issue would contribute to the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development Challenge 9: “Ensure comprehensive capacity development and equitable access to data, information, knowledge, and technology across all aspects of ocean science and for all stakeholders.”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.
