A Graduate Research Traineeship Program in Coastal Ocean Processes

提出了“沿海海洋过程”地球科学方向的研究生研究实习计划。在海洋研究研究生院（CMS）的海洋学项目中，我们有一个博士学位项目，我们建议修改该项目，以提供“沿海海洋过程”（COP）的额外新专业。这个COP项目是建立在现有的近岸海洋区域、沿海和河口海洋学高级课程、高级物理海洋学课程和海洋学家海洋政策课程的基础上的。CMS共有15名教职员工同意参与这个初始项目。另外，在近岸海洋学一般领域进行教学和研究的人数相等的人将增加这个实习计划的资源基础；虽然最初没有联系到这个项目，但一些人可能会在以后作为学生的潜在顾问加入。在过去的十年中，有17名学生获得了CMS的海洋学博士学位，其中每个人的论文研究都是近岸海洋学的重点。为这些学生提供建议的六名教师是这里提出的新项目的参与者。虽然这些以前的学生没有与新项目提出的相同的具体要求，但许多人确实参加了一门或多门高级河口和沿海海洋学课程，一些非物理学家确实参加了高级物理海洋学课程，并在论文和参考出版物中使用了动态物理海洋学建模。大多数人都选修了海洋政策课程。我们认为，我们已经证明了为海洋学学位提供沿海海洋过程方向培训的能力，并且我们有能力招募和建议这项GRT赠款将支持的额外学生人数。

A Graduate Research Traineeship (GRT) program is proposed for the priority of Geosciences are of "Coastal Ocean Processes". In the Oceanography Program of the Graduate College of Marine Studies (CMS), we have a PhD degree program that we propose to modify to provide an additional new specialization in "Coastal Ocean Processes" (COP). This COP program is built on an existing emphasis in nearshore oceanographic areas, an advanced course in coastal and estuarine oceanography, an advanced physical oceanography course, and a course in marine policy for oceanographers. There are 15 faculty members from the CMS who have agreed to participate in this initial program. An additional equal number who teach and do research in the general area of nearshore oceanography will add to the resource base for this traineeship program; although not contacted for this program initially, some may join later as potential advisors for the students. Over the past decade, 17 students have received PhD degrees in Oceanography from the CMS in which there was an emphasis in each one's dissertation research in nearshore oceanography. The six faculty who advised these students are participants in the new program that is proposed here. Although these previous students did not have the same specific requirements as are proposed for the new program, many did take one or more advanced estuarine and coastal oceanography courses and several of the non-physicists did take advanced physical oceanography courses and used dynamical physical oceanographic modelling in dissertations and refereed publications. Most took a course in marine policy. We feel that we have demonstrated the ability to give training in a coastal ocean processes orientation for an oceanography degree and that we have the capacity to recruit and advise the additional number of students that this GRT grant would support.
