Appendix C
Poster Session

INTRODUCTION

To expand community involvement in the symposium, marine science institutions and major ocean programs were given an opportunity to present their roles in the shaping of ocean science in the United States over the past fifty years. Posters (listed below) were displayed in the Great Hall of the National Academy of Sciences Building throughout the symposium. The poster session served as a backdrop and focus for lively discussions and reminiscing (see Plate 7).

This book describes the development of ocean sciences over the past 50 years, highlighting the contributions of the National Science Foundation (NSF) to the field's progress. Many of the individuals who participated in the exciting discoveries in biological oceanography, chemical oceanography, physical oceanography, and marine geology and geophysics describe in the book how the discoveries were made possible by combinations of insightful individuals, new technology, and in some cases, serendipity.

In addition to describing the advance of ocean science, the book examines the institutional structures and technology that made the advances possible and presents visions of the field's future. This book is the first-ever documentation of the history of NSF's Division of Ocean Sciences, how the structure of the division evolved to its present form, and the individuals who have been responsible for ocean sciences at NSF as "rotators" and career staff over the past 50 years.
