GO-SHIP Chief Scientist – apply by October 22

Posted by mmaheigan 
· Monday, September 27th, 2021 

September 17, 2021

Greetings,
We are looking for scientists with experience in physical and/or biogeochemical hydrography and in oceanographic expedition organization who would be interested in participating as Chief Scientist on one of the two legs of the GO-SHIP (https://usgoship.ucsd.edu and http://www.go-ship.org) decadal re-occupation of the hydrographic section P02 along 30°N in the Pacific1, tentatively scheduled from April 2022 through July 2022.  Preferred candidates will have extensive previous experience with organizing and executing oceanographic field studies, and/or will have been a Chief or Co-Chief Scientist or a Principal Investigator on a previous U.S. GO-SHIP cruise.

Deadline for applications: Oct 22, 2021 (see ‘How to apply’ below for details)

PARTICULARS: (all dates are tentative)

  • We will be sailing on the R/V Revelle
  • Leg 1 (P02W) 49-51 days
    • Loading in Guam Apr. 13, 2022
    • Departing Guam Apr. 17, 2022
    • Sailing to Honolulu, Hawaii, arriving in early June
  • 3-day port stop in early June
  • Leg 2 (P02E) 33 days
    • Departing from Honolulu, Hawaii
    • Sailing to San Diego, California, arriving in early July

DUTIES:

All U.S. GO-SHIP chief scientists are experienced with sea-going fieldwork.

Pre-cruise: The Chief Scientist will take over cruise planning and paperwork, including that for sampling in non-U.S. EEZs, from Lynne Talley and Alison Macdonald (U.S. GO-SHIP Executive Council) at a mutually-agreed upon time before the cruise, will lead selection of student CTD watchstander positions and be involved in the selection of the Co-Chief Scientist, both of which will be advertised by the U.S. GO-SHIP Executive Council. Note that the Chief Scientist is ultimately responsible for official pre-cruise activities, including organization of the sampling groups, lab spaces, berths, and documents. The Chief Scientist will also attend and contribute to a pre-cruise meeting either in person or remotely. (The U.S. GO-SHIP NSF grant will support Chief Scientist travel to the pre-cruise meeting, if teleconference is not used.)

At sea: In addition to all duties and decision-making responsibilities that normally fall upon a Chief Scientist, the Chief Scientist will be the scientist-in-charge of one 12-hour watch. At sea duties include mentoring students assigned to that watch, as well as mentoring and assisting the Co-Chief Scientist on the opposite watch. Together with the Co-Chief, and other sampling teams, the Chief Scientist will  prepare, maintain, distribute, and execute a running station and sampling plan that meets cruise and program objectives and efficiently utilizes time and seawater resources; define the sampling plan and sampling levels for each parameter in accordance with GO-SHIP guidelines and the requests of the individual measuring teams; communicate regularly and as needed with the Captain, officers, crew, and shipboard technicians; see that assistance with water sampling (i.e., “sample cop” and/or drawing samples) is provided on every cast; ensure that the CTD watch safely runs the CTD console on station according to the guideline provided by the program and completes the routine forms required for each station; assist with at-sea data review and documentation; and work with all on-board teams to prepare the draft cruise report before end of cruise; and throughout the cruise act as supportive resource for all members of the science party.

Post-cruise: The Chief Scientist will review and edit the GO-SHIP cruise report drafted at sea, and respond as needed to continued inquiries regarding data, quality codes, and documentation. Post-cruise documentation may be required by UNOLS and by the State Department if sampling occurred in non-U.S. EEZs.  U.S. GO-SHIP will assist with this documentation as needed. Please note that grant support for post-cruise data analyses is not supported by the NSF grant to SIO unless a specific exception has been made with the program directors; publication costs are available if requested.

Mentoring/training: The Chief Scientist will include the Co-Chief Scientist in the planning, cruise and post-cruise periods, and will provide mentorship particularly when a Co-Chief is an early career or inexperienced at-sea scientist.

SUPPORT: Salary support for U.S. GO-SHIP academic Chief Scientists will be negotiated, and is typically supplied via subawards from UCSD/SIO to the participant’s institution (see2 below).  It typically covers time at-sea, in port, on travel, several weeks of preparation, and several weeks of post-cruise reporting. Travel will be paid by UCSD/SIO.

WHO CAN APPLY: Although preference may be given to those with ongoing research in the Pacific Ocean, all are welcome to apply. If there are multiple qualified applicants for the positions (Leg 1 and/or Leg 2), final selection will be made by the U.S. GO-SHIP Executive Council in consultation with the Principal Investigators Committee.

HOW TO APPLY: Email letters of application to Alison Macdonald (amacdonald@whoi.edu).

Please provide your CV, a brief summary of your research interests and experience and include the name and email address of a reference.  DEADLINE: October 22, 2021

The cruise legs are long and will likely pass through challenging weather with rough sea conditions at some point. We therefore recommend that those who apply be reasonably confident that they can handle such conditions. Candidates should think carefully before applying if they are prone to motion sickness.

1 Further Details on cruise activities: (The Data and Cruise Report from the previous P02 occupation in 2013 can be found at https://cchdo.ucsd.edu/cruise/318M20130321. At-sea weekly reports as well as blog posts from the most recent U.S. GO-SHIP cruise A20/A22 can be found on at  https://usgoship-a20-a22-2021.blogspot.com/ and https://usgoship.ucsd.edu/news/, respectively). Station stops are planned every ~55 kilometers (closer over steep topography and near coasts) where the CTD/rosette is lowered to measure the temperature, salinity, oxygen, currents, optical properties, and other dynamics from just below the sea surface to approximately 10 meters above the ocean bottom.  During each of these stations up to 36 water samples are collected for measurement of various water properties, including a number of oceanic carbon-related parameters (dissolved organic and inorganic carbon, alkalinity, pH, pCO2), along with dissolved chlorofluorocarbons and sulfur hexafluoride (SF6), dissolved oxygen, salinity, and nutrients.  While the ship is both underway and on station it continuously pumps surface seawater through sensors for temperature, salinity, and partial pressure of CO2; operates standard meteorological sensors; operates a shipboard Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler; and collects along-track bathymetric data.  Additional ancillary programs (“Level 2 and 3”) are hosted aboard at a lower priority than the core (“Level 1”) measurements. We also deploy floats and drifters along the track as requested.

2Financial support for the Chief Scientist is provided through an NSF grant to UCSD/SIO, coordinated by Lynne Talley (ltalley@ucsd.edu). Except in the case of a directly supported project post-doc, there is no support from this NSF grant for post-cruise scientific analyses, only for time spent on final documentation, which is minimal for this program (almost all work is done at sea). This cruise-specific salary plus benefits support for the Chief Scientist should never exceed (3.0*D/30) months (where D = number of days at sea), and in general will be less than this amount, in many cases much less (typically 2.0), depending largely on pre- and post-cruise project-related activities for each person. A contract agreeing to the guidelines set out by the U.S. GO-SHIP Executive Council must be signed before travel preparations can be made.

STILL WANT MORE INFORMATION? 

This cruise is a U.S. contribution to international GO-SHIP https://www.go-ship.org/, which is part of the Global Ocean Observing System (GOOS) (https://www.goosocean.org/). GO-SHIP is tracked along with other GOOS observing systems through OceanOps (https://www.ocean-ops.org/board).

In Case You Missed It: Supplemental NSF Funding to Support Graduate Student Internships Outside Academia

Posted by mmaheigan 
· Tuesday, December 17th, 2019 

A new NSF supplemental funding opportunity (INTERN) allows students to test out non-academic career paths while in graduate school. PIs can request up to six months of additional support for current graduate students supported on active NSF grants. These supplemental awards allow students to pursue internships that will broaden their professional experience and enable them to apply their scientific training in a variety of environments.

Melissa McCutcheon, a Ph.D. Candidate in the Coastal and Marine System Science program at Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi studying with Dr. Xinping Hu just used this opportunity to intern at Ocean Conservancy and work on ocean acidification policy in Washington, DC. Looking back on her experience, Melissa shared the following thoughts:

“Prior to interning here, I honestly had no idea the role environmental advocacy groups play in the translation of scientific knowledge to environmentally smart policy. The INTERN award is unique in that the graduate student is responsible for contacting potential mentors at prospective host-organizations; as long as someone agrees to serve as a mentor, the internship can be with any non-academic organization. It doesn’t have to be ocean-focused, or tightly tied to students’ existing research.

During my [internship], I have used the skills that I have gained through my scientific training to synthesize information and create products that will be used in direct communications with decision-makers as they consider how to confront the growing threat of ocean acidification…The most interesting thing that I have learned is how to strategize about who, when, and how to appeal to people about ocean issues in relation to policy. No matter where my next career stage takes me, I think that this will continue to influence the way that I think about effective science communication to any audience.”

Melissa earned a Master of Science in Environmental Science from Texas A&M-Corpus Christi in 2015 and is an Executive Board Student Representative for the Gulf Estuarine Research Society. Additionally, she is the Managing Editor for Third Coast Science For You, a magazine that she co-launched, and works in Hu’s Carbon Cycle Lab. Read more about her experience here.

OCB supports ECR participation in 2019 Cornell Satellite Remote Sensing course

Posted by mmaheigan 
· Wednesday, July 24th, 2019 

The Cornell Satellite Remote Sensing course took place June 3 – 14 in Ithaca, NY. The goal of the course was to teach participants the basic skills needed to work independently to acquire, analyze and visualize data sets derived from a variety of satellite sensors. The course also covered image analysis methods to work with satellite imagery of 1) sea surface temperature, 2) ocean wind speed, and 3) sea surface height.

OCB supported four students to attend the 2019 course. Read about the students and their experiences below:

 

Alana Menendez is a 3rd year PhD student studying Earth & Environmental Sciences at the City University of New York, advised by Dr. Maria Tzortziou. Her current research uses optics to better determine source and fate of colored dissolved organic matter in the Long Island Sound. This work incorporates high spatial resolution satellite datasets to understand tidal processes occurring at river-wetland-estuary boundaries. Prior to her PhD studies, Alana completed her MSc also with Dr. Tzortziou, focusing on more accurately estimating lateral fluxes of dissolved organic carbon from a marsh to sub-estuary site along the northwestern shore of the Chesapeake Bay, using high temporal resolution datasets. She completed her undergraduate studies at Bowdoin College in Maine, having majored in Earth & Oceanographic Science.

The Cornell Satellite Remote Sensing Training Course was an amazing two-week opportunity spent with people from all over the world. Bruce is a fantastic teacher and person – the class was organized with a great balance between lectures, problem sets, and working on our own chosen study areas. I came away from the class feeling prepared to do more programming in Python and able to batch process satellite imagery from all my sensors of interest. The batch processing ability will allow me to work with more satellite imagery in my research because it is much more efficient than going through file-by-file in SeaDAS. Thank you so much to OCB for making this experience possible!

 

Anna Windle is a 1st year PhD student in Marine, Estuarine, and Environmental Sciences at the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science at Horn Point Laboratory in Cambridge, Maryland where she is advised by Dr. Greg Silsbe. She will be using satellite remote sensing to improve bio-optical algorithms to better monitor chlorophyll and sediment in the Chesapeake Bay. She is also interested in the use of drone remote sensing to study harmful algal blooms. Prior to beginning her PhD Program, Anna graduated with a Master’s in Environmental Management from the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke University where she used drones to study intertidal oyster reef habitat.

The course surpassed my expectations, allowing me to dive deeper into my research questions than before. I will undoubtedly use the knowledge I gained from this course for my PhD research and beyond. I would recommend the course for anyone remotely (pun not intended) interested in remote sensing. I thought it was a great introductory yet highly stimulating course that would improve any level of student’s remote sensing skill set.

 

Bianca Broman is a thesis option Master’s student in Marine Resources Management at Texas A&M Galveston University, where she is a researcher for the Center for Texas Beaches and Shorelines. She investigates the biogeochemical and physical drivers of the movement and migration patterns of Sargassum seaweed blooms in the Caribbean using satellite observations. Her Bachelor of Science is in Geology, but she has since then turned her interests towards marine sciences, oceanography, and water quality monitoring. She is advised by Karl Kaiser, a Chemical Oceanographer in the Marine Sciences Department, and works in tandem with the Galveston Park Board in beach maintenance proceedings, education and outreach, and information sharing.

Where do I even begin? The knowledge gained during the two week course has made such a measurable impact on my research and my personal coding skills. Prior to the course, I had minimal to no coding experience, and throughout the course we gained basic to advanced skills in python programming, and learned background basics and uses in satellite imaging. This world of data availability in which we live can seem convoluted and overwhelming at times, but Bruce offered us clarity and guidance in navigating our satellite oceanography data management endeavors. He also creates a learning atmosphere that is friendly and relaxed, so learning feels effortless and it was easy to cultivate friendships. He invites us to feel connected to the NASA ocean color community and tells wonderful stories that add to the coursework. I felt overwhelmed with gratitude for the opportunity and privilege to participate in this enriching course. Thank you OCB and Dr. Monger. Your generosity towards me will not soon be forgotten.

 

Jonathan Sherman is a 4th year PhD student in oceanography at Rutgers University. Advised by Dr. Paul Falkowski, his research focuses on the control mechanisms of photosynthetic rates and yields in the global ocean and the underlying biophysics. His research relies on shipboard measurements using custom-built fluorometers to assess phytoplankton photophysiology, and relate those measurements with satellite-based retrievals.

Participating in the Satellite Remote Sensing Training program at Cornell was an amazing opportunity for me. Although I had been using data from MODIS for some time, it was clear to me that my work flow was inefficient and was not utilizing the full extant offered from ocean color data. In two weeks, Dr. Bruce Monger was able to lay a strong theoretical and practical foundation to process ocean color data in an interesting and engaging manner. It was great to be part of such a diverse international cohort of participants who study ocean color for different applications and reasons. Dr. Monger and TA Celina Scott-Buechler did a great job setting up the participants for success in this field in general, while providing individual help with specific topics of interest. I thank them and the OCB for the opportunity.
