C-CoMP programs

Posted by mmaheigan 
· Wednesday, April 6th, 2022 

We have two programs in C-CoMP (https://ccomp-stc.org/) that the OCB community may be interested in – a postdoc program and a bridge-to-PhD program.

Both programs are 2-year fellowships with professional development, mentoring opportunities and rich research experiences across the ocean sciences and education research.

The postdoc fellowship asks applicants to identify a host who can advise and support a research project within the scope of C-CoMP. The host does not need to be a current C-CoMP member (nor does the prospective postdoc). More information can be found at our website.

The Bridge-to-PhD fellowship is intended to foster a diverse and inclusive research community and so will support fellows as they transition from a 4-year college degree to graduate school. These fellows will be matched with current C-CoMP laboratories and research programs from chemistry, biology, data science, modelling and education research. There is more information on our website as well.

We are hosting an information session on both programs Tuesday April 12th at 4p Eastern and interested parties can register here.

Ocean Nucleic Acids ‘Omics Workshop Report

· Tuesday, March 1st, 2022 

Ocean Nucleic Acids 'Omics Workshop Report Released

In January 2020, the workshop on Ocean nucleic acids 'omics intercalibration and standardization was convened by the US Ocean Carbon Biogeochemistry (OCB) program. The goal of this workshop was to develop a focused marine microbial nucleic acid (na) 'omics intercomparison and intercalibration effort to enhance future field programs that integrate methods such as molecular barcoding, metagenomics and transcriptomics to understand the functioning of prokaryotic and eukaryotic microbes in the ocean. Initial efforts are guided, in part, by the success of the marine geochemistry community in implementing programs like GEOTRACES.

PACE summer training class images, overview and dates -

PACE training summer course – apply by March 11

Posted by mmaheigan 
· Monday, February 14th, 2022 

What’s behind the curtain of the NASA Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission?

The NASA PACE Project and Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) Project Office are excited to announce the upcoming summer class “What’s behind the curtain of the NASA Plankton, Aerosol, Cloud, ocean Ecosystem (PACE) mission?”  This one-week graduate-level course will provide in-depth insight into the upcoming PACE mission that is scheduled for launch in January 2024. The course will provide instruction on passive satellite remote sensing, with foci on both ocean and atmosphere. This will encompass not just lectures on Earth science, but also potential field trips and details on PACE instruments’ performance and how they relate to derived geophysical products, uncertainties, and ultimately, Earth system models.

Our target audience includes graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, and early career professionals (<4 years from terminal degree). Our hope is to engage the next generation of early career scientists in PACE, with the goal of equipping this next generation with specialized expertise in global Earth System passive remote sensing, as well as offering unique access to all elements of a major NASA flight project. In addition to PACE scientists, mission and instrument systems engineering staff will be accessible to share “behind-the-scenes” details that are often not readily available to the research community (e.g., design choices that impact products, agency hurdles that dictate the mission lifecycle, and rationales for instrument concepts).

Class details:
• Location: in-person only in the Baltimore, MD area (exact venue TBD)
• Timing: 1-5 August 2022
• Participation: ~30 student enrollments
• Cost: Travel and room/ board are covered via an OCB grant for qualified participants*
• Details on course elements: https://www.us-ocb.org/pace-mission-training-activity/
• SUBMIT APPLICATION BY 11 March 2022 (midnight ET) 

Qualified individuals from underrepresented groups in STEM will be prioritized to promote the diversity and inclusion aims of both OCB and NASA. Application requirements include:
• Contact information
• Personal statement that illustrates how this class will support your professional development and future work (limit of 1800 characters, including spaces)
• Abbreviated (2-page biosketch format) CV
• Letter of support from an advisor, mentor, or supervisor (this should be sent directly from your supervisor to the OCB Office (hbenway@whoi.edu)

Applications will be evaluated by the organizing committee based on timeliness in career and capacity to benefit from course, background and relevant experience, and capacity to play a future leadership role in PACE and/or satellite oceanography. While the majority of the class will likely be composed of US-based students, international students* will also be considered for admission. Application decisions will be distributed by April 8.

We look forward to your participation!

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.

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.
