2005 Coastal Ocean Circulation Gordon Conference

第四届戈登沿海海洋环流研究会议（GRC）将于2005年6月5日至10日在新罕布什尔州新伦敦的科尔比-索耶学院举行。沿海海洋环流GRC的目标是将有共同兴趣的科学家聚集在一起进行为期一周的激烈讨论，并邀请他们就沿海物理海洋学和相关跨学科领域的前沿研究进行演讲。智力价值：这次戈登研究会议是传播信息和思想的一种有价值的方式，这种方式无法通过通常的交流渠道实现，例如在大型科学会议上发表出版物或演讲。会议为发展和评估新的学科和跨学科研究方向提供了一个论坛，并为沿海海洋学内不同科学团体之间的合作提供了一个理想的环境。更广泛的影响：会议直接解决了NSF的目标，即促进研究和教育的整合。本次会议是对沿海物理海洋学前沿不同主题领域的年轻科学家进行教育的有效途径，并为年轻科学家提供了与该领域领先研究人员会面和互动的独特机会。

0451023Funding is provided to support conference and travel expenses for the fourth Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Coastal Ocean Circulation, to be held June 5 - 10, 2005 at Colby-Sawyer College, New London, New Hampshire. The objective of the Coastal Ocean Circulation GRC is to bring together scientists with common interests for a week of intense discussion stimulated by invited lectures on research at the forefront of coastal physical oceanography and related interdisciplinary areas. Intellectual Merit: This Gordon Research Conference is a valuable means of disseminating information and ideas in a way that cannot be achieved through the usual channels of communication, such as publications or presentations at large scientific meetings. The conference provides a forum for the development and evaluation of new disciplinary and interdisciplinary research directions and an ideal environment for collaborations between different scientific communities within coastal oceanography. Broader Impacts: The conference directly addresses NSF's goal to foster the integration of research and education. This conference is an effective way to educate young scientists in the different topic areas at the frontiers of coastal physical oceanography and provides a unique opportunity for young scientists to meet and interact with leading researchers in the field.
