Community Engagement
R2R is intended to be a community-driven resource that will benefit multiple stakeholders, and community engagement is a critical component of the Program. R2R Team Members will engage the oceanographic community in many ways:
- Operators:
- Regular presentations and breakout sessions at RVTEC
- Solicit input on aspects of the design and implementation with respect to shipboard operations
- Visit ships of all classes for direct interaction
- Operator Login on rvdata.us for verification of data inventory
- Routine communication through the RVTEC and R2R mail lists
- Scientists:
- Regular presentations at major scientific conferences (e.g. AGU)
- Solicit input on the development of Quality Assessment procedures
- Chief Scientist Login on rvdata.us for confirmation of proprietary holds and data inventory
