EAGER - Introducing Early Career Scientists to Research on the Great Lakes

这项建议资助明尼苏达大学为来自五大湖盆地的早期职业科学家举办的R/V蓝鹭研究培训邮轮。拟议的工作将有两个目标：1)向职业生涯早期的湖泊科学家传授如何获取、规划和管理联索行动船只上的巡航，这可能会对联索行动船只上船舶时间请求的长期减少产生一些影响；以及2)让五大湖科学界的成员向联合国难民事务高级专员办事处和学术船队提交建议书，因为向国家科学基金会提出要求联索行动船只的建议书的比例极低。该项目反映了俄勒冈州立大学克莱尔·赖默斯博士在R/V Wecoma、New Horizon和Endeavor等远洋轮船上成功实施的首席科学家培训计划。智力价值：这里设想的培训邮轮将允许早期职业科学家收集种子数据，并为未来提交给NSF的建议测试假设：该建议旨在教育下一代研究人员关于联合国日内瓦办事处的能力。联合国内罗毕办事处与潜在用户之间的这种外联活动不仅对更广泛的科学界很重要，而且对似乎不愿使用联合国日内瓦办事处舰队等资产的大湖区社区也具有双重重要性。

This proposal to fund a research training cruise on the University of Minnesota's R/V Blue Heron for early career scientists from the Great Lakes basin. The proposed work will have two goals: 1) teach early career lacustrine scientists how to acquire, plan for,and manage cruises aboard UNOLS ships, possibly having some impact on the long-term decrease in requests for ship time on UNOLS ships in general; and 2) expose members of the Great Lakes scientific community, which has an abysmally low submittal rate of proposals to NSF requesting UNOLS ships, to UNOLS and the academic fleet. This project mirrors the successful Chief Scientist training program that Dr. Claire Reimers at Oregon State University has run on ocean-goingships such as the R/V Wecoma, New Horizon and Endeavor.Intellectual Merit :The training cruise envisioned herein will allow early career scientists to collect seed dataand test hypotheses for future proposals to NSF.Broader Impacts :This proposal intends to educate the next generation of researchers about the capabilitiesof UNOLS. This type of outreach between UNOLS and potential users is not only important forthe broader scientific community, but doubly important for the Great Lakes community whichseems resistant to using assets like the UNOLS fleet.
