E&E with Observations Joint Session

Document Actions

Wednesday, 2:30-3:30

  1. Facilitating PI/User Interaction
    • Methods for approaching external users.
    • How to better use “two-way” outreach to join observation providers with potential users?
    • a. Region-wide. Working with SEACOOS PI s and targeted users on region-wide SEACOOS science applications.
    • b. Sub-Regional Systems. 1. Creating communications and collaborative linkages among regional sub-system extension and education program activity; and 2. Working with SEACOOS (and other sub-regional system) PI s and targeted users on regional COOS science applications.
    • c. Business & Industry. Working with SEACOOS PI s and target users in the non-governmental sector on regional and sub-regional SEACOOS science applications.
  2. Public Awareness. Communications activities targeted at general public and targeted public audiences with the intention of raising awareness about COOS science and its societal benefits and impacts.
    • DVD project (Jack Thigpen will summarize)
    • Interactions with local media
    • Example -- recent NC buoy deployment
    • Information at publicly accessible HF Radar deployment sites and other shore sites that have outreach/awareness potential.
    • Utilizing "eye catching" materials (e.g., Charlie Barans' fish cameras; summaries of storm events; web cams at sites of interest?)
  3. K-16 Education. Formal and informal education programs targeted to school systems, “free choice” institutions, teachers and students.
    • What materials can be developed for teachers at various levels?
    • What forms of data can be accessed and utilized in lesson plans? Guidance of lesson plan development?
    • What can be developed around observation systems descriptions as well as the observations (e.g., principles of measurements, defining needed precision and accuracy, deployment platforms, engineering and practical maintenance challenges, "offshore experiences")?
  4. SEACOOS Internal Program Development (In-reach). Internal PI/E&E WG interaction, participation in PIC and website development processes, SEACOOS committees, workshop participation, etc.
  5. Transitioning to SECOORA. Planning and implementing the transition from SEACOOS to SECOORA E&E.
