EAGER: Collaborative Research: A Marine Geology and Geophysics training cruise onboard the RV SIkuliaq for potential chief scientists

该奖项将使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。虽然这是他们准备的一个重要组成部分，但它是对海上科学过程的不完整介绍。大多数学生不熟悉提案过程和担任研究船上首席科学家的角色。许多学生花时间在海上执行分配的任务，而不负责或参与巡航计划和执行。该奖项旨在通过让学生有机会根据现有数据计划和执行科学巡航来完成他们对航海科学的介绍。 今后，这将使人们更好地了解如何最大限度地充分利用昂贵的研究船。 学生将通过定义假设，计划调查和执行数据收集来验证假设。该项目将通过课堂教学和体验式学习的结合来解决所有的科学过程。检验将受到船期表所规定的时间限制和船舶所规定的实际限制。教育过程将开始，申请者将对征求建议书作出答复，这将为航行的科学可能性提供一个框架。参与者将在登船前在荷兰港会面两天，以完善可测试的假设并制定巡航计划。在此期间，学生将简要介绍他们对RFP的回应。PI将提供有关提案编写、访问现有数据和船上能力的指导。参与者将在动员日早些时候登船。在这一天，将有关于海上生活，安全和RV Sikuliaq上设备的初步介绍。学生们将被分成两个12小时的手表。一旦开始，每个学生将有机会成为“当天的首席科学家”，决定巡航的执行和指导参与者。其他学生将为他们的手表分配一个特定的乐器。他们将负责监测这一仪器，记录其正常运行，并向首席科学家报告重要观察结果。学生们将在仪器中循环，因此每个人在海上至少会遇到一次航行中的每一件装备。PI将补充值班和首席科学家的经验，介绍仪器的操作原理，数据简化和解释，以及我们过境时的海底地质。这些讲座将在换班期间每天进行。第二次值班将包括审查前24小时收集的数据。当船驶近檀香山时，编写巡航报告的过程将开始。每个学生都将有一个写作任务，这有助于从邮轮的最终产品，他们的调查的初步结果，和邮轮评估。

This award 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 opportunityto 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. Studentswill 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.
