Philip Hartmeyer, Marine Archaeologist NOAA Ocean Exploration "The Marine Archaeology Portfolio of NOAA Ocean Exploration" This presentation provided an introduction to NOAA Ocean Exploration and their mission to explore the ocean for national benefit. NOAA Ocean Exploration is filling gaps in the understanding of US deep waters and the seafloor and delivering the ocean information needed to strengthen the economy, health, and security of the United States. Phil will introduce the different platforms, partnerships, and grant opportunities utilized to achieve this mission through an underwater cultural heritage lens. As ocean exploration continues, more human stories are brought to the surface through paleolandscape studies, wartime discoveries, and other remnants of our connection with the ocean. The Cooperative Programs for the Advancement of Earth System Science (CPAESS—pronounced: see-pass) is a UCAR Community Programs (UCP) division at the University Corporation for Atmospheric Research (UCAR). UCAR manages the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). Our administrative office is located in Boulder, Colorado, USA. CPAESS was created in February 2016, from the merger of two long-established and successful programs: the Joint Office of Science Support (JOSS) and the Visiting Scientist Programs (VSP). CPAESS is providing an extensive portfolio of organization and management services for the broad Earth science community. Our vision and mission complement and mirror the vision and mission of UCAR, including UCP and NCAR. We are collectively working towards the advancement of scientific research for the benefit of society.
