Dissertations Symposium in Chemical Oceanography XXIV and XXV

夏威夷大学外联学院将继续管理第24届和第25届化学海洋学论文研讨会（DISCO），该会议最初于1978年开始。 这些研讨会提供最近毕业或即将毕业，博士水平的化学海洋学家有机会在同行面前展示他们的论文研究，并建立专业关系，这将有助于他们未来的研究和学术生涯。鉴于物理海洋学论文专题讨论会将与DISCO同时举行，会议还将提供与物理海洋学同行互动的机会，并与机构人员进行讨论，以更好地了解供资机制和战略。DISCO XXIV和DISCO XXV将分别于2014年10月5日至9日和2016年10月2日至6日在夏威夷的檀香山举行。 申请人有资格参加某一次DISCO会议的是那些在该专题讨论会之前一年内获得海洋化学博士学位或在该专题讨论会之后一年内被学位授予机构认证为毕业的人。将通过向美国和其他国家学术机构的化学海洋学家发布广泛的国际公告以及在EOS杂志上发布公告，为会议开发一个申请人库。机构工作人员将从这一人才库中挑选受邀者。这次研讨会是由美国国家科学基金会和国家海洋和大气管理局联合主办的。更广泛的影响：与往年一样，这些研讨会将有助于促进美国和国际早期职业化学海洋学家的专业发展，他们将在提高我们对海洋和地球科学过程的理解方面发挥关键作用。由于全球海洋化学研究界相对较小且分散，这些研讨会为早期职业生涯的美国和非美国科学家提供了一个重要的机会，以满足和发展终身协会。 会议地点在夏威夷群岛，为大多数与会者提供了一个重要的机会，安排时间亲眼目睹海洋玄武岩火山活动，参观著名的夏威夷海洋时间序列现场，并参观莫纳罗亚山大气二氧化碳监测的标志性地点。

The University of Hawaii's Outreach College will continue management of the 24th and 25th Dissertations Symposium in Chemical Oceanography (DISCO), a conference originally begun in 1978. These symposia provide recently graduated or soon to graduate, PhD level chemical oceanographers with an opportunity to present their dissertation research in front of their peers, and to forge professional relationships that will facilitate their future research and academic careers. The meeting will also offer the opportunity to interact with their peers in physical oceanography given the Physical Oceanography Dissertation Symposium will run concurrently with DISCO, as well as engage in discussions with agency personnel to better understand funding mechanisms and strategies. DISCO XXIV and DISCO XXV will be held in Honolulu, Hawaii from October 5-9, 2014 and October 2-6, 2016, respectively. Applicants eligible for participation in a given DISCO meeting are those individuals who have received their doctoral degrees in ocean chemistry within one year preceding that symposium or who are certified by the degree-granting institution as graduating within one year after that symposium. An applicant pool will be developed for the meetings from a broad international announcement to chemical oceanographers at academic institutions in the US and other countries, as well as an announcement in EOS magazine. From this pool, agency personnel will select invitees. This symposium is jointly sponsored by the National Science Foundation and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration. Broader Impacts: As in previous years, these Symposia will aid in furthering the professional development of early career chemical oceanographers, both U.S. and international, who will play a critical role in improving our understanding of ocean and earth science processes. Because the worldwide marine chemistry research community is relatively small and spread out, these Symposia offer an important opportunity for early-career U.S. and non-U.S scientists to meet and develop life-long associations. The meeting location in the Hawaiian Islands provides an important opportunity for the majority of participants to arrange time to witness marine basaltic volcanism first-hand, visit the acclaimed Hawaiian Ocean Time-Series locale, and see the iconic site of atmospheric carbon dioxide monitoring on Mauna Loa.
