Hi, Today, NOAA's National Centers for Coastal Ocean Science (NCCOS)< http://coastalscience.noaa.gov/> unveils the Coastal Ocean Science Blog < http://noaaoceanscience.wordpress.com/>, a new communications tool that will give you a detailed look into the science taking place across the US at our 5 centers and 2 laboratories< http://noaaoceanscience.wordpress.com/about/national-centers-for-coastal-ocean-science/ >. Our goal is to give you a 360-perspective of our research, from design and implementation, to results and how that science is being used by natural resource managers and partners around the US and its Territories.
Look for postings <http://noaaoceanscience.wordpress.com/> from and interviews with our Principal Investigators (PIs), as well as project partners and collaborators. All of these discussions are with scientists, by scientists. Check out our journals and publications< http://noaaoceanscience.wordpress.com/publications/> related to NCCOS' research or look over "The Buzz"< http://noaaoceanscience.wordpress.com/publications/> for our end-user perspectives. For those who are interested, you can visit "NCCOS in the News" <http://noaaoceanscience.wordpress.com/> to see NCCOS science is making headlines. This is a forum for those interested in being part of the dialogue on our science within NOAA's National Ocean Service<http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/> andwe are open to new ideas. We welcome contributions of other scientists doing research in the areas of HABs, Science for Coastal Ecosystem Assessments, Pollution, and the impacts of Climate Change. For more information contact Becky Wynne at [email protected] or email the blog team < [email protected]>. We hope you will enjoy this new look at the way science is evolving at NOAA and how NCCOS scientists are evolving their methods and approaches to answer the ever-changing questions about our oceans, coasts and Great Lakes. Please share this blog with managers, decision makers or other scientists and members of the public interested in the latest innovations happening at NOAA. Regards, Becky Wynne
