Early Concept Grants for Exploratory Research (EAGER) Training Chief Scientists for Shipboard Research

提案1433236首席科学家培训邮轮该提案要求89,397美元用于在R/V Hugh Sharp上进行一次短途邮轮，主要目的是培训早期职业海洋学家进行研究邮轮。将安排一次巡航，包括7天的巡航，紧接着是两天的信息介绍、设施参观和邮轮动员，以及一天的邮轮事后批评和复员。这一提议？S PI、马克·莫林博士和威廉·M·拜阿姆(海军陆战队行动主任)、特拉华大学海事工作人员和特邀演讲者将作为介绍人参加介绍会。在邮轮上，多达12名参与者和2名教官(高级科学家)以及S号海洋技术员和船员将共同努力，实现科学目标。几年来，联合国后勤服务处和方案都认识到需要提高早期职业科学家的技能。克莱尔·赖默斯以前在西海岸和东海岸开展的类似活动非常成功，这一努力将建立在这些经验的基础上。乌德尔提议举办一系列联合国海上安全网络首席科学家培训邮轮活动，以提供机会，教导职业生涯早期的海洋科学家如何有效地规划、获取、利用和报告海上时间，用于多学科研究项目和教育。这些活动将于2014年在R/V Hugh Sharp上举行，它们还将为研究人员提供新的机会，测试初步或不熟悉的研究方法，与其他人合作，获取对发展未来海洋研究和教育项目至关重要的样本和经验。由于在R/V Sharp上停泊是有限的，计划运行三个短途邮轮和一系列日间邮轮。这种方法将允许大量的参与者，但也将提供机会，几个参与者领导一次邮轮。邮轮的资金是适度的。这项活动的智力价值将是探险的结果，科学重要和有趣的地区。这项活动不只是一次“看一看”，而是“从做”真正的科学中学习。这些提案为实现这些目标制定了一个非常有条理和行之有效的时间表。活动的更广泛影响是大多数人关注的焦点。培训下一代航海科学家对于保持美国海洋学的有效性至关重要。在学术研究舰队缩编和现代化的这个关头，这一点尤为重要。这一考虑，以及支持外地工作的技术进步，要求新用户熟悉迅速发展的能力。这是从经验丰富的老兵的渗透学习转变为积极参与现代海洋学的一个原因。上一代人的经历正迅速变得与明天崭露头角的科学家的职业生涯不那么相关。

Proposal 1433236 Chief Scientist Training Cruise The proposal requests $89,397 to conduct a short cruise aboard R/V Hugh Sharp with the principle aim of training early career oceanographers to conduct research cruises. A cruise will be scheduled, that consist of a 7-day cruise immediately preceded by two days of informationalpresentations, facilities tours, and cruise mobilization and one day of post cruise critique anddemobilization. This proposal?s PIs, Dr. Mark Moline and William M. Byam (Director of MarineOperations), University of Delaware Marine staff and guest speakers will take part as presentersat the information sessions. On the cruise, up to 12 participants and 2 instructors (SeniorScientists) as well as the ship?s Marine Technicians and crew will work together to accomplishscience objectives. 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. Udel proposes a series of UNOLS Chief Scientist Training Cruises to provide opportunitiesfor teaching early career marine scientists how to effectively plan for, acquire, utilizeand report on, time at sea for multi-disciplinary research projects and education. Thesecruises, to be held on the R/V Hugh Sharp in 2014, they will also offer new investigatorsopportunities to test preliminary or unfamiliar research methods, work collaboratively,with others and acquire samples and experience critical for developing futureoceanographic programs for both research and education. Because berthing is limitedon R/V Sharp, the plan is to run three short cruises and a series of day cruises. Thisapproach will allow for a large number of participants, but will also provideopportunities 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.
