[Coral-List] OSM session on integrating lab & field work with modelling

[Christian Lindemann]

Session on integrating lab & field work with modelling @Ocean Science 
Meeting 2020, 16-21 Feb. 2020, San Diego, USA
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This session will showcase modelling studies that pose testable 
scientific hypotheses serving as precursors for field and laboratory 
studies; field and laboratory work showcasing the inspirational power of 
models or are designed to inform models (incl. data products); as well 
as examples illustrating the integration of empirical and theoretical 
research.


ED012 - Training and communication across disciplines and methodological 
approaches in marine science

The ability to communicate, collaborate and work successfully within the 
interdisciplinary field of marine science increasingly requires the 
integration of different disciplines and methodological approaches such 
as field studies, laboratory experiments and numerical models. To think 
at an integrated systems level and to communicate across these fields 
will thus be a key skill for the next generation of multidisciplinary 
marine scientists.
Multiple reasons, including different traditions in practicing research, 
different use of language, and a lack of understanding (or skepticism) 
regarding other disciplines, can hinder the flow and access of 
information, and may lead to misinterpretation and misuse of information.
To overcome these hurdles scientists, educators and institutions need to 
develop the competences to apply and teach multi-disciplinary knowledge 
and to communicate and provide training across different methodological 
approaches.
In the spirit of FILAMO, we thus invite contributions presenting 
approaches of training, teaching and capacity building across different 
disciplines and methodological barriers in marine science. This 
includes, but is not limited to, tools and methods that improve the 
knowledge flow between different methodological fields, innovative 
approaches of teaching multi-disciplinary topics, examples showcasing 
best practice in communication across different disciplines and analyses 
focusing on identifying obstacles and solutions in multidisciplinary 
marine research.
