How the Study Was Conducted 



This study is the result of several years' activity by the Ocean 

 Studies Board (OSB) and the U.S. ocean science community. The 

 Board convened three workshops, one on facilities (May 30-31, 

 1990) and two on future science directions in oceanography (March 

 11-12 in Irvine, California and April 22, 1991 in Washington, D.C.). 

 Additional community input was sought through two special ses- 

 sions at meetings of the American Geophysical Union. In addi- 

 tion, the OSB surveyed federal agencies and academic institutions 

 on fiscal, physical, and human resources. 



The OSB especially thanks scientists who were not members 

 of the Board during the duration of this study but who contrib- 

 uted to or reviewed portions of this report or contributed at one of 

 its workshops:
