U.S.-GLOBEC: NEP Phase IIIb-CGOA: US GLOBEC Northeast Pacific Coordinating and Synthesis Office

PIS将为美国全球海洋生态系统动态(GLOBEC)东北太平洋(NEP)协调办公室提供额外三年的便利(至2009年3月)。NEP协调办公室负责协调在加利福尼亚海流系统(CCS)和阿拉斯加湾沿岸(CGOA)开展的许多不同的研究活动。NEP CCS和NEP CGOA正处于美国GLOBEC的合成阶段，NEP协调办公室将负责合成活动的整合和传播。新伙伴计划协调办公室在促进综合方面的作用有四个方面：协调、联络、数据和信息管理以及外联。私人投资机构已经制定了一个战略框架，以履行组织这一阶段方案所需的职责和职能。对国家经济政策协调办公室的更广泛影响包括确保数据的获取、提供互动的机会以及研究活动的总体协调。此外，综合阶段的结果将为新环境规划中未来的海洋观测系统提供指导。综合结果将通过网站、出版物、演示文稿和其他书面媒体(GLOBEC International和PICES时事通讯等)传播。这些成果还将被纳入教育材料，如俄亥俄州立大学科学和数学研究性学习经验(或SILE)计划目前正在开发的高中课程材料，该计划鼓励少数民族和农村青年从事科学事业。

The PIs will facilitate the U.S. Global Ocean Ecosystem Dynamics (GLOBEC) Northeast Pacific (NEP) Coordinating Office for an additional three years (through March 2009). The NEP Coordinating Office is responsible for the coordination of the many, diverse research activities that have occurred in the California Current System (CCS) and Coastal Gulf of Alaska (CGOA). The NEP CCS and NEP CGOA are in the synthesis phase of U.S. GLOBEC and the NEP Coordinating Office will be responsible for integration and dissemination of synthesis activities. The role of the NEP Coordinating Office in facilitating synthesis is four-fold: Coordination, Liaison, Data and Information Management, and Outreach. The PIs have developed a strategic framework to perform the duties and functions necessary to organize this phase of the programs. The broader impacts for the NEP Coordinating Office include ensuring data access, providing opportunities for interactions, and general coordination of research activities. In addition, results of the synthesis phase will provide guidance for future ocean observing systems in the NEP. Synthesis results will be disseminated through web sites, publications, presentations, and other written media (GLOBEC International and PICES newsletters, etc.). These results will also be incorporated into educational materials, such as high school curricular material presently being developed by the OSU Science and Math Investigative Learning Experiences (or SMILE) program, which encourages minority and rural youths to pursue careers in science.
