Oceanography Short Course for Instructors of Undergraduate Marine Sciences

这个海洋学短期课程为本科海洋科学讲师提供更新，从2年制和4年制机构的讲师在技术上受到影响的海洋科学。目前正在提供海洋研究和应用方面的最新信息，以及海洋学样本收集和数据分析方面的实际经验，以及新的教学材料和技术。从全国各地选出的40名参与者将通过参加大学、斯克里普斯海洋学研究所（UCSD）、格罗斯蒙特社区学院、圣奥诺弗雷沿海核电站、商业农业设施和海洋世界/哈布斯研究所的各种活动，获得三个研究生学期的海洋研究课程。实地考察包括在125' R/V Gordon Sproul上收集数据和样本，实地考察沉积海洋相的经典暴露，以及经过Los Coronados群岛到墨西哥Ensenada的航行，到下加利福尼亚自治大学海洋研究设施。该计划为本科课堂提供了广泛的海洋相关信息：前沿科学信息，教学材料和软件，以及当前海洋研究项目和就业机会的数据。资金也由参与者所在的机构以及美国国家科学基金会为研究船提供的整体赠款提供。

This Oceanography Short Course for Instructors of Undergraduate Marine Sciences is updating instructors from 2- and 4-year institutions in the technologically impacted ocean sciences. State of the art information in marine research and applications is being provided, along with hands-on experiences in oceanographic sample collecting and data analysis and new instructional materials and techniques. Forty participants selected from across the nation are earning three graduate semester hours in Marine Studies by participating in a variety of activities at the University, and at Scripps Institution of Oceanography (UCSD), Grossmont Community College, the coastal nuclear power station at San Onofre, commercial agriculture facilities and Sea World/Hubbs Research Institute. Field excursions include data and sample collecting aboard the 125' R/V Gordon Sproul, site visits to classic exposures of sedimentary marine facies, and a voyage past the Los Coronados Islands to Ensenada, Mexico, to the University Autonomia de Baja California Marine Studies facilities. The program is presenting a broad spectrum of ocean-related information for undergraduate classrooms: cutting edge scientific information, instructional materials and software, and data on current marine studies programs and employment possibilities. Funds are also being provided by the participants home institutions as well as the NSF Block Grant for the Research Vessel.
