NOAA and 主要研究 are expanding a 24-year mapping partnership through the creation of a new Center of Excellence for Operational Ocean and Great Lakes Mapping at 主要研究.
“NOAA and 主要研究 have a long history of collaborating to advance the latest technologies and tools to map our ocean, 海岸和五大湖是蓝色经济的基石.”
“NOAA and 主要研究 have a long history of collaborating to advance the latest technologies and tools to map our ocean, 海岸和五大湖是蓝色经济的基石,美国国家海洋和大气管理局局长里克·斯平拉德说, 最近有谁参观过校园. 2023年9月19日)宣布成立卓越中心. “Our continued partnership on the Center of Excellence will help build a workforce ready to tackle the mapping challenges of the future, 并进一步加深我们对不断变化的海洋和海岸的理解.”
斯宾拉德加入了主要研究的董事拉里·梅耶的行列 海岸和海洋测绘中心 (CCOM)和联合国和美国国家海洋和大气管理局联合水文测量中心(JHC)的联合主任。, 玛丽安·麦考德, 负责研究的高级副教务长, 经济接触和外联, 参观了联合国大学广泛的海洋测绘设施. 在大通海洋工程实验室, 斯宾拉德顺便去了一个研究生班, 会见了与联合国大学研究人员一起工作的NOAA工作人员, got hands-on experience with CCOM’s data visualization capacities and visited the test tank and other facilities in the high bay area.
他还参观了主要研究 约翰·奥尔森先进制造中心, 他在新闻发布会上正式宣布了卓越中心的成立, 指出联合国大学“在制图方面的非凡遗产”.“卓越中心是由NOAA的预算资助的, 并将补充现有的研究, 技术专长和先进的教育计划在CCOM/JHC.
A portion of the funding — $20 million over the next three years — will be used by 主要研究 to construct a new, state-of-the-art ocean mapping facility that will include office and instructional space, 还有一个大的, 有高架起重机的高天花板区域，称为高仓库, 大型设备和小型船只的舾装和布置.
“The Center of Excellence will build upon our decades-long partnership with NOAA, as well as grow the critical research field of ocean and Great Lakes mapping, where we can engage with industry leaders to develop and train the next generation of mappers,玛丽安·麦考德说, 负责研究的高级副教务长, 联合国大学的经济参与和外联.
“The University of New Hampshire’s world-class 海岸和海洋测绘中心 and Joint Hydrographic Center has led the way for more than two decades in ocean mapping, helping ensure safe marine transportation and understanding coastal hazards. This leadership is affirmed by NOAA locating a new Center of Excellence for Operational Ocean and Great Lakes Mapping on 主要研究’s campus. 有了国家海洋和大气管理局的拨款, New Hampshire’s ongoing research and training programs will remain ahead of the curve in this leading field,参议员珍妮·沙欣说, 为NOAA提供资金的参议院拨款小组委员会主席.
卓越中心将重点关注以下方面:
- Delivering practical hydrographic training and fostering workforce development for ocean mapping operations;
- Providing technical expertise and systems support for NOAA’s mapping operations on an increasingly diverse set of platforms, 包括新船和无人测量船;
- Leveraging public-private partnerships; and
- Partnering with academia and industry to transition ocean mapping research to operations.
海洋测绘数据是海洋研究的基础, 探索和描绘我们国家的海洋, 海岸和五大湖，以支持海上贸易, 运输和应急活动. Ocean and Great Lakes mapping provides foundational data for a wide range of key NOAA priorities, 包括建模和预测水位, 电流, storm surge and tsunami inundation; fisheries habitat identification; marine protected area site selection and management; and environmentally sound offshore energy development.
