Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry Program Ocean Acidification Principal Investigators' Meeting, March 22-24 2011

这笔奖金将部分支持美国主要调查人员为开展海洋酸化研究而资助的为期三天的会议。它的目的是在海洋酸化研究界内建设能力，尽可能有效地推进海洋酸化科学研究，并澄清海洋酸化研究的科学前沿。受邀者包括大约20%的早期职业科学家和30%的女性。会议的具体目标是：(1)加强科学合作，尽量减少重复工作；(2)建设改进海洋酸化研究的能力；(3)确定短期和长期研究目标；(4)促进有效的数据管理；(5)加强与公众的交流；(6)征求科学界的反馈意见，以指导未来的活动。会议包括回顾关于海洋酸化研究的5个主题的最新知识的全体会议；考虑如何将目前的研究工作结合在一起的综合陈述和小组讨论；讨论海洋酸化研究的总体挑战的分组会议；海报会议；以及关于海洋酸化研究的未来方向的全体讨论。

This award will partially support a three-day meeting of U.S. principal investigators funded to conduct ocean acidification research. It is designed to build capacity within the ocean acidification research community, to advance scientific research on ocean acidification as efficiently as possible, and to clarify the scientific frontiers within ocean acidification research. The invitees include approximately 20% early-career scientists and 30% women. The specific goals of the meeting are (1) Strengthen scientific collaborations and minimize duplication of efforts; (2) Build capacity for improving ocean acidification research; (3) Identify short- and long-term research goals; (4) Promote effective data management; (5) Enhance communication with the public; and (6) Solicit feedback from the scientific community to guide future activities. The meeting includes a mix of plenary talks reviewing state-of-the-art knowledge on 5 themes of ocean acidification research; synthesis presentations and panel discussions considering how present research efforts fit together; breakout sessions discussing overarching challenges in ocean acidification research; poster sessions; and plenary discussions concerning future directions in ocean acidification research.
