Ocean Acoustics Education and Expertise
Abstract
PROJECT ABSTRACTOcean Acoustics Education and ExpertiseThe National Academy of Sciences will establish an ad hoc committee of expert,s to assess the current and future state of ocean acoustics expertise required to realize the full value of ocean acoustics knowledg,e and capabilities across a diversity of fields and applications. This will be conducted through (1) an examination of ocean acousti,cs education in the United States, (2) assessment of the demand for acoustics expertise, as anticipated over the next decade, (3) id,entification of competencies required for undergraduate, graduate, and professional training programs that will be required to fulf,ill that demand, and (4) exploration of strategies to raise the profile of careers in ocean acoustics, including education, training,, and workforce recruitment and retention. The report will include information on: ?Academic institutions that offer courses i,n ocean acoustics or include ocean acoustics as a unit within related coursework. ?Public and private sector professional-leve,l organizations that require expertise in ocean acoustics as part of their operations. ?Ocean acoustics workforce needs in key, sectors/industries. ?Training programs currently available in these key regions. ?Examples of current ocean acoustic p,rograms.This information will be gathered by the committee as part of their assessment of the needs for ocean acoustics expertise, a,nticipated demand in the next decade, and potential needs for additional training opportunities. The committee will recommend resour,ces required to support ocean acoustics research and education, and preparation and recruitment of a diverse workforce.Approved for,Public Release
