Support Planning and Assistance to the Ocean Sciences Division for the Physical Oceanography Disserations Symposia (PODS)

智力价值：物理海洋学学位论文研讨会(Pod)的目标是为25名物理海洋学博士生的论文介绍提供一个扩展的论坛，在鼓励发言者之间进行科学讨论和互动的环境中。研讨会将是为期一周的正式和非正式会议，以鼓励发展专业关系，促进今后的国家和国际跨学科和机构间调查。更广泛的影响：一个重要的目标是向年轻的博士提供有关赞助机构在物理海洋学方面的项目的信息，以及如何从这些项目中获得研究支持的一些实用指导。一个具有深远影响的最终目标是通过所提交的博士论文的性质来描绘物理海洋学的新兴前沿以及当前的艺术状态。论文摘要将发表。将开发一个网站，包括与会者联系信息、出版的摘要、豆荚的历史、研究机会、新闻、照片以及支助机构代表要求的任何其他信息。此次研讨会将延续之前由美国国家科学基金会(NSF)和海军研究办公室(ONR)支持的两个研讨会的成功系列，并由美国国家航空航天局(NASA)和国家海洋和大气管理局(NOAA)做出新的贡献。

0424612Intellectual merit: The goals of the Physical Oceanography Dissertations Symposiums (PODS) are to provide an extended forum for presentation of the thesis dissertations of 25 physical oceanography doctoral candidates in a setting that encourages scientific discussions and interactions among the speakers. The symposium will be a week-long combination of formal and informal sessions to encourage the development of professional relationships that facilitate future national and international interdisciplinary and inter-institutional investigations. Broader Impacts: An important goal is to provide the young Ph.D. with information about the sponsoring agencies' programs in physical oceanography, and some practical instructions on securing research support from those programs. A final goal with far-reaching impact is to delineate emerging frontiers in physical oceanography as well as the current state of the art by the nature of the doctoral theses presented. The dissertation abstracts will be published. A web site will be developed to include attendee contact information, published abstracts, history of the PODS, research opportunities, news, photos, and any additional information as requested by the supporting agencies representatives. The symposia will continue a successful series of two symposia previously supported by the National Science Foundation (NSF).and the Office of Naval Research (ONR), with new contributions from the National Aeronautics and Space Agency (NASA) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
