Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Expanding Opportunities in Ocean Sciences conference was held at the McGrew Conference Center at Hampton University (HU), Hampton, Virginia on September 11 and 12, 1995. Eighty-six participants from state and private, majority and minority colleges and universities, government agencies and research laboratories attended this conference hosted by the National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). A complete list of those attending is provided in the Appendices. Faculty, students, researchers and administrators came with the expressed purpose of strengthening the links between historically black and minority-serving college and university (HBMSCU) undergraduates and institutions with oceanic graduate programs"--Overview of the conference program.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ocean science connects a global community of scientists in many disciplines - physics, chemistry, biology, geology and geophysics. New observational and computational technologies are transforming the ability of scientists to study the global ocean with a more integrated and dynamic approach. This enhanced understanding of the ocean is becoming ever more important in an economically and geopolitically connected world, and contributes vital information to policy and decision makers charged with addressing societal interests in the ocean. Science provides the knowledge necessary to realize the benefits and manage the risks of the ocean. Comprehensive understanding of the global ocean is fundamental to forecasting and managing risks from severe storms, adapting to the impacts of climate change, and managing ocean resources. In the United States, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is the primary funder of the basic research which underlies advances in our understanding of the ocean. Sea Change addresses the strategic investments necessary at NSF to ensure a robust ocean scientific enterprise over the next decade. This survey provides guidance from the ocean sciences community on research and facilities priorities for the coming decade and makes recommendations for funding priorities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This, the third Expanding Opportunities in Oceanic and Atmospheric Sciences Conference was significant in several ways. First, it was a follow-up and extension of the work of two previous Expanding Opportunities Conferences held in 1995 and 1999. Second, it provided a forum for the dedication in memory of Dr. Nancy Foster who championed the Expanding Opportunities cause beginning with the first Conference in 1995. Third, the number of participants in attendance exceeded each of the first two Conferences which indicates that the issues of diversity and true equal opportunity are crucial for all in our schools and businesses, and, more generally, in society and our nation. Thus, Conference participants came to work actively on developing strategic actions to expand diversity and opportunities for individuals from traditionally underrepresented ethnic groups in the marine, atmospheric, and environmental fields"--Executive Summary.

This book was released on 2008-10-23 with total page 744 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This encyclopedia provides the most complete treatment to date of the accomplishments of African American scientists—and the struggles of African Americans to find their place in the scientific community. This comprehensive reference work sheds new light on an aspect of African American life that is often overlooked. More than a summary of individuals and accomplishments, African Americans in Science: An Encyclopedia of People and Progress explores the entire experience of African Americans seeking a place in the scientific community—not just the triumphs but the frustrations, discriminations, and the efforts to support (and sometimes impede) African American scientists. African Americans in Science offers alphabetically organized entries in three areas: the contributions of African Americans in over 30 different fields of science and medicine, schools and organizations that played a role in the development of African American scientists, and additional topics related to African American scientists. No other reference offers such a complete and up-to-date portrait of the pivotal work of African Americans across the spectrum of scientific research and what it took to achieve it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A vivid portrait of how Naval oversight shaped American oceanography, revealing what difference it makes who pays for science. What difference does it make who pays for science? Some might say none. If scientists seek to discover fundamental truths about the world, and they do so in an objective manner using well-established methods, then how could it matter who’s footing the bill? History, however, suggests otherwise. In science, as elsewhere, money is power. Tracing the recent history of oceanography, Naomi Oreskes discloses dramatic changes in American ocean science since the Cold War, uncovering how and why it changed. Much of it has to do with who pays. After World War II, the US military turned to a new, uncharted theater of warfare: the deep sea. The earth sciences—particularly physical oceanography and marine geophysics—became essential to the US Navy, which poured unprecedented money and logistical support into their study. Science on a Mission brings to light how this influx of military funding was both enabling and constricting: it resulted in the creation of important domains of knowledge but also significant, lasting, and consequential domains of ignorance. As Oreskes delves into the role of patronage in the history of science, what emerges is a vivid portrait of how naval oversight transformed what we know about the sea. It is a detailed, sweeping history that illuminates the ways funding shapes the subject, scope, and tenor of scientific work, and it raises profound questions about the purpose and character of American science. What difference does it make who pays? The short answer is: a lot.
