Riassunto

Partnerships in Marine Research: Case Studies, Lessons Learned, and Policy Implications provides a thorough assessment of this important approach to Marine Research. It starts by looking at the problems faced by scientists as they conduct investigations within Marine Research; it then leads into case studies where partnerships have been successful and concludes with the ultimate intended outcomes for this approach. Through these sections of the book, an experience-based framework for sustainable partnerships and science is introduced, including some key elements identifiable in the case studies presented. Elements of the framework are implicitly present in each of the case studies, including four key elements: flexibility of the partnership system, diversity (of partners and functions), redundancy, and connectivity. These four elements are important aspects of the partnership resilience and crucial to sustain and to achieve its goals.

Partnerships in Marine Research guides the sustainable planning and implementation of future ocean science and technology projects, and provides a fundamental tool for researchers, engineers, and decision makers involved in collaborative Marine Research.

Informazioni sugli autori

Dr. Guillermo Auad is the Senior Research Coordinator and a Science Advisor at the US Department of the Interior’s Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement. Earlier, he was the chief of the physical and chemical sciences branch at the Department’s Bureau of Ocean Energy Management. Before 2010 and for over a decade, he was a faculty member at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, and an Adjunct Professor of Oceanography at Palomar College. He has created national and international partnerships including an award-winning project between the United States and Canada on Arctic marine ecosystems as well as multi-nation partnerships addressing ocean sustainability, through the Belmont Forum. He was one of the US Government lead reviewers of the IPCC Fifth Assessment Report and a contributing author to the Third National Climate Assessment. Since 2010, he has focused on project management of different interdisciplinary studies used to inform decisions on offshore energy. Dr. Auad has co-authored national policies on Arctic research and several publications ranging from multidisciplinary studies using observations and models, to the application of socio-ecological resilience concepts for effective resource management and adaptation. He received his PhD in Oceanography from Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

Dr. Francis Wiese is a Senior Principal within Stantec’s Environmental Services Group and serves as Stantec’s Technical Leader for Marine Research. Francis brings 28 years of experience working in the coastal and marine environment throughout the world, designing, implementing, and managing large interdisciplinary, multi-institutional science programs in the Arctic, North Atlantic, North Pacific, Bering Sea, the Gulf of Alaska, and the Gulf of Mexico, with additional experience in the North Sea, Caribbean, Antarctic, and the Galapagos. Dr. Wiese has worked for and with academia, government, nonprofits, and industry, is a technical reviewer for over 20 international journals, and serves on a variety of national and international science panels, committees, and working groups. He has extensively focused on environmental impacts as a result of anthropogenic stressors, climate change, socio-ecological resiliency, system science, marine spatial planning, coastal erosion, marine shipping, environmental policy, and adaptive management. He recently contributed a book chapter focused on a vision for a sustainable Arctic, integrating key global steps across society that are needed to reach such a future. Francis believes that collaboration and communication is key and as such is a prolific public speaker that enjoys thinking outside the box to solve complex real-world issues. Dr. Wiese earned his PhD in Conservation Biology at Memorial University of Newfoundland, Canada.
