EAGER: Collaborative Research: A Marine Geology and Geophysics training cruise onboard the R/V Sikuliaq for potential chief scientists

这一奖项是为了让Pockalney博士能够作为导师参加R/V Sikuliaq号上的早期职业科学邮轮(ECS)。该ECS将使MGG学生和早期职业科学家能够在海上度过时间，收集、处理和解释数据以获得学位。虽然这是他们准备工作的关键组成部分，但它对在海上进行科学研究的过程是一个不完整的介绍。大多数学生不熟悉提案过程，也不熟悉在科考船上担任首席科学家的角色。许多学生把他们的时间花在海上执行分配的任务上，而没有责任或参与邮轮计划和执行。该奖项旨在通过让学生有机会根据现有数据计划和执行一次科学巡航来完成他们对海洋科学的介绍。在未来，这将加强对如何最大限度地充分利用昂贵的考察船的理解。学生们将通过定义假设、计划调查和执行数据收集来检验假设来实现这一点。该项目将通过课堂教学和体验式学习相结合的方式解决所有科学过程。调查将受到船舶时间表和船舶设备所施加的实际限制的时间限制。教育过程将从申请者对征求建议书(RFP)的回应开始，这将为邮轮的科学可能性提供一个框架。与会者将在登船前在荷兰港举行为期两天的会议，以完善可检验的假设并制定邮轮计划。在此期间，学生将简要介绍他们对RFP的回应。PIS将就提案撰写、访问现有数据和船上能力提供指导。参与者将在动员日的早些时候登船。在这一天，将有关于海上生命、安全和希库利亚克房车上设备的初步介绍的演讲。学生们将被分成两个12小时的值班。一旦开始，每个学生都将有机会成为“当天的首席科学家”，就巡航的执行做出决定，并指导参与者。其他学生将被分配一种特殊的手表乐器。他们将负责监测这台仪器，记录它正确运行的情况，并向首席科学家报告重大观测结果。学生们将在仪器之间循环，因此每个人在海上至少遇到一次每件在航装备。PIS将补充观察和首席科学家的经验，介绍仪器的工作原理、数据简化和解释以及我们过境时海底的地质情况。这些讲座将在每天换班期间进行。第二次换表将包括对过去24小时收集的数据进行审查。随着这艘船接近火奴鲁鲁，邮轮报告的准备过程将开始。每个学生都将有一份书面作业，这份作业将对邮轮的最终产品、调查的初步结果和邮轮评估做出贡献。

This award is to enable Dr. Pockalney to participate as a mentor in an Early Career Science Cruise (ECS) aboard R/V Sikuliaq. This ECS will enable MGG students and early career scientists to spend time at sea, collecting, processing and interpreting data to earn their degrees. While this is a critical component of their preparation, it is an incomplete introduction to the process of doing science at sea. Most students are unfamiliar with the proposal process and the role of being chief scientist aboard a research vessel. Many students spend their time at sea performing assigned tasks without responsibility or participation in cruise planning and execution. This award is designed to complete their introduction to seagoing science by giving the students the opportunity to plan and execute a science cruise based on existing data. In the future, this will provide an enhanced understanding of how to fully utilize expensive research vessels to the greatest extend possible. The students will do this by defining a hypothesis, planning a survey and executing the data collection to test the hypothesis. The project will address all of the scientific process through the combination of classroom instruction and experiential learning. The survey will be subject to the time constraints imposed by the ship schedule and the physical constraints imposed by the ship's equipment. The educational process will begin with applicants responding to a request for proposals (RFP), which will provide a framework for the scientific possibilities for the cruise. The participants will meet in Dutch Harbor for two days prior to boarding the ship to refine a testable hypothesis and develop the cruise plan. During this time, the students will briefly present their responses to the RFP. The PIs will provide guidance on proposal writing, accessing existing data, and shipboard capabilities. The participants will board the ship early on the mobilization day. During this day there will be presentations on life at sea, safety and the initial introduction to the equipment on RV Sikuliaq. The students will be divided into two 12-hour watches. Once underway, each student will have the opportunity to be "chief scientist for the day," making decisions about the execution of the cruise and directing participants. The other students will be assigned a particular instrument for their watch. They will be responsible for monitoring this instrument, documenting that it operates correctly and reporting significant observations to the chief scientist. Students will cycle through the instruments, so each one encounters each piece of underway gear at least once during their time at sea. The PIs will supplement the watch-standing and chief scientist experiences with presentations about the operational principles of the instruments, data reduction and interpretation, and the geology of the seabed as we transit it. These lectures will occur daily during a change of watch. The second change of watch will consist of a review of the data collected during the previous 24 hours. As the ship approached Honolulu, the process of preparing the cruise report will begin. Each student will have a writing assignment, which contributes to the final product from the cruise, the preliminary results of their survey, and the cruise assessment.
