Dissertations Initiative for the Advancement of Limnology and Oceanography: DIALOG III and IV
Abstract
Originally founded in 1994, the Dissertations Initiative for the Advancement of Limnology and Oceanography (DIALOG) program seeks to (1) facilitate interdisciplinary, inter-institutional and international aquatic science research, understanding and collaborations; (2) reduce the historical, institutional and philosophical barriers that limit the exchange of information among aquatic scientists; and (3) expedite the transition from Ph.D. student to independent researcher. DIALOG is an educational and human resource program. It targets aquatic scientists and those in related disciplines that have recently obtained their Ph.D. degrees and wish to pursue interdisciplinary aquatic science research. DIALOG consists of three parts. Ph.D. Dissertation registry: Recent Ph.D. recipients are invited to submit an abstract of their Ph.D. dissertation research for inclusion in the DIALOG Dissertation Registry. Database: Demographic information is collected with the dissertation abstracts in order to characterize recent graduates for human-resource purposes. Symposium: A symposium is held every other year to enhance interdisciplinary understanding and promote collegial interactions across the aquatic sciences. The third DIALOG symposium was held October 17-24, 1999. Graduates who completed their Ph.D. between April 1, 1997 and March 31, 1999 were eligible.
