Abstract:

The goals of this workforce study are to 1 produce a more complete description of the present state of the ocean science, technology, and operations OSTO workforce 2 anticipate future developments and predict the evolution of this workforce and 3 characterize the educational programs that will be needed to respond to expected workforce changes. Initially, the project will focus on the workforce required to support current and planned ocean observing systems OOS efforts it will then expand to include related sectors of the economy such as telecommunications, hydrographic surveying, the oil and gas industry and others.
