Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book describes the development of ocean sciences over the past 50 years, highlighting the contributions of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to the field's progress. Many of the individuals who participated in the exciting discoveries in biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, physical oceanography, and marine geology and geophysics describe in the book how the discoveries were made possible by combinations of insightful individuals, new technology, and in some cases, serendipity. In addition to describing the advance of ocean science, the book examines the institutional structures and technology that made the advances possible and presents visions of the field's future. This book is the first-ever documentation of the history of NSF's Division of Ocean Sciences, how the structure of the division evolved to its present form, and the individuals who have been responsible for ocean sciences at NSF as "rotators" and career staff over the past 50 years.

Committee on Oceanography and published by National Academies. This book was released on 1961 with total page 332 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Review of "Oceanography 1960 to 1970" And Comments on the Interagency Committee on Oceanography: Fiscal Year 1962 Program We agree with and reemphasize the statement in the ico Report, that the education of young scientists is the most important part of our long-range national program. The situation is improving. Oceanography departments in universities report a distinct increase in student interest in the last two years, amounting in some cases to a flood of applicants. This is almost certainly due to the increased public interest in oceanography and to better financial support for the field. It has been possible to increase the enrollment of well-cuelified candidates some 50-100% in those institutions having the necessary space and funds. Other institutions have been unable to ih crease their graduate student bodies ih spite of increases in the number of applicants because of lack of space or funds for support. Those institutions which have increased their student bodies can go no further because of lack of space. There has been a tendency in the last two years to liberalize policies for granting federal aid to oceano graphic education. Some agencies now make grants providing direct support for thesis research. To a limited degree, training grants have been made available through the National Science Foundation and the Department of Health, edbjat101 and welfare. The Office of Naval Research con tract research program continues to provide a most valuable source of support for graduate research assistantships. By general support of basic research institutions, our has developed a stable and beneficial atmosphere for long range research programs in which graduate students can be supported. Ford Foundation fellowships totalling about one million dollars also have become available to some oceanographic institutions.

Download or read book Oceanographers and the Cold War written by Jacob Darwin Hamblin and published by University of Washington Press. This book was released on 2011-07-01 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Oceanographers and the Cold War is about patronage, politics, and the community of scientists. It is the first book to examine the study of the oceans during the Cold War era and explore the international focus of American oceanographers, taking into account the roles of the U.S. Navy, United States foreign policy, and scientists throughout the world. Jacob Hamblin demonstrates that to understand the history of American oceanography, one must consider its role in both conflict and cooperation with other nations. Paradoxically, American oceanography after World War II was enmeshed in the military-industrial complex while characterized by close international cooperation. The military dimension of marine science--with its involvement in submarine acoustics, fleet operations, and sea-launched nuclear missiles--coexisted with data exchange programs with the Soviet Union and global operations in seas without borders. From an uneasy cooperation with the Soviet bloc in the International Geophysical Year of 1957-58, to the NATO Science Committee in the late 1960s, which excluded the Soviet Union, to the U.S. Marine Sciences Council, which served as an important national link between scientists and the government, Oceanographers and the Cold War reveals the military and foreign policy goals served by U.S. government involvement in cooperative activities between scientists, such as joint cruises and expeditions. It demonstrates as well the extent to which oceanographers used international cooperation as a vehicle to pursue patronage from military, government, and commercial sponsors during the Cold War, as they sought support for their work by creating "disciples of marine science" wherever they could.
