In order to support an understanding of and improvements to graduate education in ocean sciences, the PIs will develop a publication for distribution at the Ocean Sciences Meeting (OSM) to be held from February 21-24 in New Orleans, Louisiana. OSM is a bi-annual conference supported by the American Geophysical Union (AGU), the Association for Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), and The Oceanography Society (TOS). It is the largest national gathering of ocean scientists. Florida State University proposes to publish a special issue of the TOS journal Oceanography with the title "Graduate Education in the Ocean Sciences" in March 2016. This journal will be distributed at the conference and will stimulate discussion of the challenges and opportunities facing faculty, administrators, and students in today's US graduate programs in the ocean sciences at this conference. The special publication will: (1) consider future research directions and workforce needs that depend on advanced education, (2) describe key elements of the graduate degree and professional development programs offered today, (3) call attention to the unique interdisciplinary and international training opportunities offered by these programs, (4) identify changes that may be needed to better support and prepare today's students for the workforce of tomorrow, (5) reflect on (and provide guidance for) meeting the challenges of recruiting and supporting a more diverse future student cohort, and (6) catalyze discussion on what both individual programs and the broader community can do to help our students prepare for successful careers and life after graduate school. The proposed set of peer-reviewed articles plus sidebars and scientist profiles will further these objectives.

为了支持对海洋科学研究生教育的理解和改进，PI 将编写一份出版物，以便在 2 月 21 日至 24 日在路易斯安那州新奥尔良举行的海洋科学会议 (OSM) 上分发。 OSM 是由美国地球物理联盟 (AGU)、湖沼学和海洋学协会 (ASLO) 和海洋学学会 (TOS) 支持的两年一度的会议。这是最大的全国海洋科学家聚会。佛罗里达州立大学提议于 2016 年 3 月出版 TOS 期刊海洋学特刊，题为“海洋科学研究生教育”。该期刊将在会议上分发，并将激发对教师、管理人员面临的挑战和机遇的讨论，以及今天美国海洋科学研究生项目的学生参加了这次会议。该特别出版物将：（1）考虑依赖于高等教育的未来研究方向和劳动力需求，（2）描述当今提供的研究生学位和专业发展计划的关键要素，（3）引起人们对独特的跨学科和国际培训的关注这些计划提供的机会，(4) 确定可能需要做出的改变，以更好地支持今天的学生并为明天的劳动力做好准备，(5) 反思（并提供指导）应对招聘和支持更加多元化的未来的挑战学生群体，以及（6）促进讨论个人项目和更广泛的社区可以做些什么来帮助我们的学生为研究生毕业后成功的职业和生活做好准备。拟议的一组同行评审文章加上侧边栏和科学家简介将进一步实现这些目标。
