OCEANOGRAPHY magazine issues: National Oceanographic Partnership Program (Vol 22, No. 2) and Ocean Acidification (Vol. 22, No. 4)

PI已要求为海洋学学会（TOS）杂志的两个特刊“海洋学”、国家海洋学伙伴关系计划和国家海洋学伙伴关系计划的海洋酸化问题-“国家海洋学伙伴关系计划十年”-提供部分资金，以庆祝国家海洋学伙伴关系计划十周年，该计划将于2009年6月发行。NOPP是一个联邦机构的合作项目，为国家海洋学研究和教育活动提供领导和协调。通过NOPP，公共和私营部门聚集在一起，以支持更大，更全面的项目，促进资源共享，并促进整个社区在海洋科学，技术和教育方面的创新进步。该特刊将包括一篇介绍性文章，重点介绍由于NOPP而建立的成功的政府-学术界-工业界合作伙伴关系，然后8至10篇文章将重点介绍NOPP的各个项目和成就。海洋酸化问题的海洋学问题-“高二氧化碳世界中海洋生物地球化学的未来”。客座编辑将整理出一份由跨学科科学家小组撰写的文章的综合清单，这些文章将描述海洋pH值降低的原因和后果，我们使用什么工具来研究这个主题，古记录告诉我们什么，以及对美国渔业的经济影响可能是什么，以及其他主题。更广泛的影响特刊不仅应该提供有趣的阅读，但也应该提供有关社区在未来几年走向的信息。NOPP未来的优先事项是什么？美国将如何通过协调的跨学科研究应对酸化的挑战？这些问题大部分可在每个问题的结论部分讨论，不需要对计划作重大改动。这一提议是对过去十年中最前沿的海洋学研究的一个平易近人的、以科学为基础的总结。这些问题不仅将成为海洋学领域的宝贵资源，而且也将成为其他科学领域的宝贵资源以及知情的非专业人士。许多各级教育工作者将在其教育工作中使用这些文件。在本科和研究生课程中，它们是非常有用的工具。

The PI has requested partial funding for two special issues of The Oceanography Society (TOS) Magazine, "Oceanography", NOPP and Ocean Acidification.OCEANOGRAPHY issue on NOPP - "Ten Years of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP)" - In celebration of the tenth anniversary of the National Oceanographic Partnership Program (NOPP), to be released in June 2009. NOPP is a collaboration of federal agencies that provides leadership and coordination of national oceanographic research and education initiatives. Through NOPP, the public and private sectors are brought together to support larger, more comprehensive projects, promote sharing of resources, and foster community-wide innovative advances in ocean science, technology, and education. The special issue will include an introductory article focused on the successful government-academia-industry partnerships that were forged because of NOPP, and then eight to 10 articles will highlight individual NOPP projects and accomplishments.OCEANOGRAPHY issue on Ocean Acidification - "The Future of Ocean Biogeochemistry in a High CO2 World". The guest editors will put together a comprehensive list of articles, to be written by an interdisciplinary group of scientists, that will describe the causes and consequences of lowering the pH of our ocean, what tools we use to study this topic, what the paleo record tells us, and what the economic impacts for U.S. fisheries might be, among other topics.Broader ImpactsThe special issues shouldn't just provide interesting reading, but should also provide information about where the community is headed in the next few years. What are the future priorities for NOPP? How is the US going to meet the challenge of addressing acidification through coordinated interdisciplinary research? These issues could be covered for the most part in the conclusions sections of each issue and would not require significant alterations to plans. This proposal is creating an approachable, scientifically based summary on the cutting edge oceanographic research over the past decade. These issues will serve as a valuable resource for not only those in the field of oceanography, but also those in other science fields as well as informed lay persons. Many educators at various levels would use these documents in their education efforts. They can be extremely useful tools in undergraduate and graduate courses.
