New observational and computational technologies are transforming the ability of scientists to study the global ocean with a more integrated and dynamic approach. This enhanced understanding of the ocean is becoming ever more important in an economically and geopolitically connected world, and contributes vital information to policy and decision makers charged with addressing societal interests in the ocean. Science provides the knowledge necessary to realize the benefits and manage the risks of the ocean. Comprehensive understanding of the global ocean is fundamental to forecasting and managing risks from severe storms, adapting to the impacts of climate change, and managing ocean resources. In the United States, the National Science Foundation (NSF) is the primary funder of the basic research which underlies advances in our understanding of the ocean. Sea Change addresses the strategic investments necessary at NSF to ensure a robust ocean scientific enterprise over the next decade. This survey provides guidance from the ocean sciences community on research and facilities priorities for the coming decade and makes recommendations for funding priorities." -- $c Provided by publisher. 610 20 $a National Science Foundation (U.S.) 650 0 $a Oceanography $x Research. 710 2 $a National Research Council (U.S.). $b Ocean Studies Board, $e sponsor. 710 2 $a National Research Council (U.S.), $e sponsor. 710 2 $a National Academies Press (U.S.), $e publisher. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826112847.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=E5429B286B5711E69AFE1DDBDAD10320 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
