A Focus on the Scientific Contributions by Women to the Field of Physical Oceanography
Abstract
This proposed work, through its focus on the retention of women in the field of physical oceanography, will allow further capitalization on the investment the funding agencies and the universities have made on the education of women students. Essentially, this work seeks to stem the loss of intellectual capital from the physical oceanographic field. The specific objective of this work is to plan and conduct a workshop for the express purpose of designing a mentoring program for junior women in physical oceanography. The goal is to design a mentoring program that would provide all women with access to mentors early in their scientific careers and that would provide information to both potential mentors and mentees about the importance of their involvement in this endeavor. A second objective of this work is to aid the creation of training workshops for all young physical oceanographers at the start of their research careers.
