Engaging UK Communities in Scientific Ocean Drilling: A proposal for Knowledge Exchange and Coordination for UK IODP

国际海洋发现计划（IODP）的英国成员为英国环境科学家的不断增长和多样化提供了独特的尖端基础设施。该计划使科学家能够获得来自地球上一些最难以到达的环境的样本和数据。除了卓越的科学成就，UK-IODP的影响还包括重要的早期职业发展机会，政策制定，对行业和公众参与的好处。尽管加入联合王国国际海洋钻探方案的国家成员有巨大的好处，但该方案被称为“隐藏的宝石”，因为其影响并不为直接科学海洋钻探界以外的人所广泛了解。要更广泛地了解联合王国对IODP的投资所带来的好处，就需要提高六个主要利益攸关方社区的认识和参与：1.联合王国IODP科学界2.英国环境科学协会3.行业利益相关者4.决策者和政府5.教师、学生和记者6. General PublicI将通过建立强大的通信网络为这些社区服务，让他们了解机会、新闻和成果。我将积极促进UK-IODP社区与其他利益相关者团体之间的合作。为了提高这些利益攸关方群体对联合王国加入国际海洋发展方案的好处和机会的认识，作为联合王国国际海洋发展方案方案主管，我将：- 改善和扩大UK-IODP的数字和社交媒体存在，以利用更多的平台-组织会议，研讨会和会议，以吸引更广泛，更多样化的科学家社区，- 与专业协会合作，为更广泛的科学界内的专业团体提供量身定制的活动;- 建立一个行业行动小组，向行业利益攸关方推广UK-IODP活动和资源，交流知识，联合王国IODP科学提供有关社会关注问题的基本数据和信息，包括气候变化、地质灾害、冰盖稳定性和海平面上升。我将协助科学家与政策制定者接触，鼓励他们向议会委员会和欧盟委员会的呼吁提交证据，以确保政策制定者和政府能够做出明智的决定。教师和记者是传播知识和理解的渠道。我将与英国科学教师合作，突出UK-IODP的推广机会，并开发一套基于海洋钻探科学的资源，为所有关键阶段的国家课程量身定制。我将与英国科学媒体中心一起进行培训，并鼓励英国IODP科学家也这样做，以提高对媒体管理的理解，并为记者提供资源和简报。UK-IODP科学涵盖了激发公众强烈兴趣的主题，但其活动并不为公众所知。加强宣传将证明这一完全独特的方案的价值及其影响。我将通过广播、新闻和数字媒体，并通过组织和协调国家科学博物馆的外展活动，向公众宣传IODP的研究。我将与海洋综合开发方案和其他科学钻探方案的外联干事和管理人员合作，交流信息和想法，以开发新的外联活动和资源，我将建立和维护一个数据库，记录联合王国海洋综合开发方案的所有参与者、活动和产出，作为方案成功的证据，并促进不断审查利益攸关方社区的需求。

UK membership of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) provides unique access to cutting edge infrastructure to a growing and diversifying community of UK environmental scientists. The programme gives scientists access to samples and data from some of the most inaccessible environments on Earth. As well as scientific excellence, the impacts of UK-IODP include significant early career development opportunities, policy development, benefits to industry and public engagement. Despite the huge benefits of national membership of UK-IODP, the programme has been described as a "hidden gem", because the impact is not widely known to those beyond the immediate scientific ocean drilling community. Wider appreciation of the benefits of the UK's investments in IODP requires increased awareness and engagement with six key stakeholder communities:1. UK-IODP Scientific Community2. Wider UK Environmental Science Community3. Industry Stakeholders4. Policy makers and Government5. Teachers, Students and Journalists6. General PublicI will serve these communities by establishing strong communication networks, keeping them informed of opportunities and news and results. I will proactively facilitate increased collaboration between the UK-IODP community and the other stakeholder groups. To increase awareness of the benefits and opportunities of the UK's membership of IODP among these stakeholders groups, as UK-IODP Programme Manager I will: - Recruit Champions to act as points of contact within research institutes and learned societies and to pass on information and regular newsletters to a wider audience;- Improve and expand UK-IODP's digital and social media presence to utilize additional platforms- Organise conferences, workshops and meetings to engage a wider, more diverse community of scientists, and training and mentoring for researchers interested in participating in or leading drilling expeditions;- Collaborate with professional societies to provide events tailored to specialist groups within the broader science community; - Establish an Industry Action Group to promote UK-IODP activities and resources to Industry stakeholders, exchange knowledge, data and ideas and foster potential collaboration.UK-IODP science provides essential data and information about issues of societal concern including climate change, geohazards, stability of ice sheets and sea level rise. I will assist scientists in engaging with policy makers by encouraging them to submit evidence to calls from parliamentary committees and the European Commission to ensure that policy makers and government are able to make informed decisions. Teachers and journalists act as conduits for spreading knowledge and understanding. I will engage with UK science teachers to highlight UK-IODP outreach opportunities and to develop a suite of resources based on ocean drilling science, tailored to the National Curriculum at all Key Stages. I will undertake training with the UK Science Media Centre and encourage UK-IODP scientists to do so too, to improve understanding of media management and generate resources and briefings for journalists. UK-IODP science covers topics that inspire strong public interest, yet its actvities are not widely known by the public. Increased promotion will demonstrate the value of this totally unique programme and its impact. I will engage the public via radio, press and digital media and by organising and coordinating outreach activities at national science museums, to communicate IODP's research to the public. I will work with outreach officers and managers from IODP and other scientific drilling programmes to exchange information and ideas in order to develop new outreach activities and resources.I will build and maintain a database to record all UK-IODP participants, activity and outputs as evidence of the success of the programme and to facilitate continuous review of the needs of the stakeholder communities.
