This project funds the 12th Physical Oceanography Dissertation Symposium (PODS) conference in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii in October 2022. These symposia were established in 2002 to bring together, for the purposes of scientific discussion and interactions, recent PhD graduates in physical oceanography who represent their employing institutions. Once selected to be a participant at these meetings, these individuals will be required to present their dissertation research in front of their professional peers and to forge professional relationships between the participants that will facilitate their future research and academic careers at their employing institutions. This program is modeled after the highly successful Dissertations Symposium in Chemical Oceanography (DISCO) meetings, which were first held in 1978, and is formatted in a similar manner. It is anticipated that the PODS symposia will be held in parallel with the DISCO symposia. Support for the DISCO meetings is covered under a separate grant, but interactions between the two groups are an integral part of the goals of the proposed PODS symposia. The PODS symposia will produce a cohort group of early career professionals in the field of physical oceanography from widely differing backgrounds and geographical origins, serving to create a peer mentoring group that will last throughout their careers. In addition, the cross-disciplinary contacts arising from the combination of the PODS and DISCO meetings will foster future inter-disciplinary understanding and collaborations, benefitting their employing institutions. Thus, the PODS participants will be uniquely situated to take advantage of networking between individuals and groups, which is of great importance to foster advances in scientific knowledge and preparedness to meet upcoming environmental challenges. These PODS attendees play a critical role in improving our understanding of ocean and earth science processes, which provide the scientific framework vital for developing rational climate-related policies. In addition, as a minority institution, the University of Hawaii fosters interactions between traditionally under-represented groups and minorities. Planned meeting activities include interactions between meeting participants and students, particularly undergraduates in the Department of Oceanography’s Global Environmental Sciences program.A broad international announcement of the PODS symposia will be made to physical oceanographers working at academic institutions in both the US and other countries to develop an applicant pool. From this pool, agency personnel will select invitees. The meeting will consist of a series of sessions grouped by research subject area that are chaired by selected invitees and will also include participant-led discussion periods. In addition to an initial presentation by an invited senior scientist in the field, there will also be presentations by, and discussion with, agency personnel explaining funding mechanisms and strategies. Participants will form breakout groups to discuss current issues in research, as well as obstacles and opportunities to career paths in the field, then provide feedback to agency personnel through formal presentations. By bringing the two separate symposia invitees together in evening discussion sessions revolving around specific topics, the goal is to broaden the disciplinary expertise of the participants, promote future collaborations, and to make connections between their research and the education of future generations of scientists. The funds in this project will cover meeting venue rentals, audio-visual support costs, as well as participant support related costs of air travel, hotel accommodation, and M&IE that are not provided as part of the symposium.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该项目资助将于 2022 年 10 月在夏威夷凯鲁瓦·科纳举行的第 12 届物理海洋学论文研讨会 (PODS)。这些研讨会成立于 2002 年，目的是为了进行科学讨论和互动，将最近的物理海洋学博士毕业生聚集在一起，他们代表一旦被选为这些会议的参与者，这些人将被要求在他们的专业关系面前展示他们的论文研究，并在参与者之间建立专业关系，这将促进该项目以 1978 年首次举办的非常成功的化学海洋学论文研讨会 (DISCO) 为蓝本，并以类似的方式进行。研讨会将与 DISCO 研讨会同时举行，对 DISCO 会议的支持由单独的拨款支付，但两个小组之间的互动是拟议的 PODS 研讨会目标的一个组成部分。 PODS 研讨会将培养一批来自物理海洋学领域的早期职业专业人士，他们的背景和地理来源各不相同，旨在创建一个将持续整个职业生涯的同行指导小组。此外，跨学科接触也将产生。 PODS 和 DISCO 会议的结合将促进未来跨学科的理解和合作，使其所在机构受益。因此，PODS 参与者将处于独特的地位，可以利用团体之间的网络，而个人对于促进该领域的进步非常重要。科学知识和这些 PODS 参与者在提高我们对海洋和地球科学过程的理解方面发挥着关键作用，这为制定合理的气候相关政策提供了至关重要的科学框架。夏威夷促进传统上代表性不足的群体和少数群体之间的互动。计划的会议活动包括会议参与者和学生之间的互动，特别是海洋学系全球环境科学项目的本科生之间的互动。PODS 研讨会将向从事物理海洋学家工作的广泛国际公告。在学术机构机构人员将从美国和其他国家的申请人库中挑选受邀者。会议将包括一系列按研究主题领域分组的会议，这些会议由选定的受邀者主持，也包括参与者主导的会议。除了由该领域受邀的资深科学家进行初步介绍外，机构人员还将进行介绍并与他们进行讨论，解释资助机制和策略，参与者将组成分组讨论当前的研究问题，例如以及该领域职业道路上的障碍和机会，然后通过正式演讲向机构人员提供反馈。通过将两个独立的研讨会受邀者聚集在一起，围绕特定主题进行晚间讨论，目的是扩大参与者的学科专业知识，促进未来的合作，并在他们的研究之间建立联系。该项目的资金将用于支付会议场地租金、视听支持费用以及与会人员支持相关的航空旅行、酒店住宿和 M&IE 费用，这些费用不属于项目的一部分。该奖项反映了通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，NSF 的法定使命被认为值得支持。
