EAGER - Chief Scientist Training for Young Investigators: MLML/CSU Focus on Coastal Oceanography

在R/V Point Sur进行的一系列短途巡航，主要目的是培训早期职业海洋学家在海上进行研究。几年来，联苏观察团和方案已经认识到需要提高早期职业科学家的技能。克莱尔·雷默斯（Clare Reimers）之前在西海岸和东海岸进行的类似活动非常成功，这项工作将建立在这些经验的基础上。MLML提出一系列联索特派团首席科学家培训巡航，为早期职业海洋科学家如何有效规划、获取、利用和报告海上时间进行多学科研究项目和教育提供机会。这些巡航将于2014年在R/V Point Sur举行，它们还将为新的研究人员提供测试初步或不熟悉的研究方法的机会，与他人合作，获取样本和经验，这对开发未来的海洋学研究和教育项目至关重要。由于靠泊地点在角苏尔有限，计划是运行三个短途巡航和一系列的一日游。这种方法将允许大量参与者，但也将为几个参与者提供带领邮轮的机会。游轮的资金是有限的。这项活动的智力价值将是考察一个科学上重要和有趣的领域的结果。这个活动不仅仅是“看一看”，而是真正的科学“从做中学习”。这些建议为实现这些目标制定了一个非常有条理和经过验证的时间表。活动的广泛影响是大多数人关注的焦点。培养下一代远洋科学家对于保持美国海洋学的有效性至关重要。在学术研究舰队精简和现代化的这个关键时刻，这一点尤为重要。这种考虑，以及支持现场工作的技术进步，要求新用户熟悉快速发展的功能。这是将范式从经验丰富的老手通过潜移默化学习转变为积极参与现代海洋学的原因之一。上一代人的经验正迅速变得与未来有前途的科学家的职业生涯不那么相关。

A series of short cruises aboard R/V Point Sur with the principle aim of training early career oceanographers to conduct research at sea.The need to improve the skills of early career scientists has been recognized by UNOLS as well as Program for several years. Previous similar activities conducted on the West and East Coast under Clare Reimers were highly successful, and this effort would build on those experiences. MLML proposes a series of UNOLS Chief Scientist Training Cruises to provide opportunitiesfor teaching early career marine scientists how to effectively plan for, acquire, utilize and report on, time at sea for multi-disciplinary research projects and education. These cruises, to be held on the R/V Point Sur in 2014, they will also offer new investigators opportunities to test preliminary or unfamiliar research methods, work collaboratively, with others and acquire samples and experience critical for developing future oceanographic programs for both research and education. Because berthing is limited on Point Sur, the plan is to run three short cruises and a series of day cruises. This approach will allow for a large number of participants, but will also provide opportunities for several participants to lead a cruise.The funding for the cruise is modest.The Intellectual Merit of this activity will be the results from the expedition to a scientifically important and interesting area. The activity is not just a "look and see", but rather "learning from doing" real science. The proposals lays out a very organized and proven time table for meeting the objectives. The Broader Impacts of the activity are the majority focus. Training the next generation of sea-going scientists is essential to maintaining effective US oceanography. It is particularly important at this juncture as the Academic Research Fleet downsizes and modernizes. This consideration, as well as advancement in technology to support field work, mandates that new users become familiar with capabilities that are rapidly evolving. This is one reason behind shifting the paradigm from learning through osmosis from seasoned veterans to actively participating in modern oceanography. The experiences of the previous generation are rapidly becoming less relevant to the careers of the up-and-coming scientists of tomorrow.
