Marine Board General Support Cooperative Agreement

国家海洋局的一般支助方案 研究理事会包括多学科工程研究 这将有助于确定海洋工程研究 适用于NSF工程计划的需求。 的评估 将由海底特性的知识状态组成， 与海底未来利用有关的进程 在EEZ内。 十个联邦机构参与了这项工作 及时项目 计划对是否充分进行评估 工程研究和教育基地，以实现 国家海洋目标。 社会趋势和深思熟虑 国家计划正在迅速改变我们与 海洋环境 重要的国家目标包括海洋 环境保护、海洋和沿海空间及资源 利用，并提高对全球气候变化的科学认识 海气系统 规划中的两项举措涉及国家 海洋工程研究和教育能力，并要求 设施和方案，以实现这些和其他国家 目标. 在1988年进行的研究的最后报告将 提供给NSF。

The general support program of the Marine Board, National Research Council includes multi-disciplinary engineering studies which will be useful in identifying ocean engineering research needs applicable to the NSF Engineering Program. An assessment will be made of the state of knowledge of seafloor properties and processes as related to the future utilization of the seabed within the EEZ. Ten federal agencies are participating in this timely project. Assessments are planned concerning the adequacy of the engineering research and education base to achieve national ocean objectives. Societal trends and deliberate national programs are rapidly altering our relationship to the marine environment. Significant national goals include marine environmental protection, ocean and coastal space and resource utilization, and improved scientific understanding of the global air-sea system. Two initiatives in planning address the national ocean engineering research and education competence and required facilities and programs to achieve these and other national objectives. Final reports on studies conducted in CY 88 will be provided to NSF.
