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 who have recently obtained their Ph.D. degrees and wish to pursue interdisciplinary aquatic science research. To accomplish its stated goals, the program objectives are to: (1) Compile and publish submitted Ph.D. dissertation abstracts to provide a concise overview of current research over the range of biologically related aquatic science. (2) Convene a symposium every two years to facilitate interdisciplinary, inter-institutional, and international understanding and collaborations among participants; and (3) Develop and maintain a centralized data base for characterization and tracking of recent Ph.D. recipients to better identify human-resource trends and needs.
