Trace elements are those not found in large abundance in the atmosphere, hydrosphere or geosphere, yet they are important tracers of biogeochemical processes, and many are required for life, particularly in the marine environment. Pioneers such as Clair C. Patterson were among the first to obtain the accurate data necessary for proper interpretation of these elements. In honor of Professor Patterson's achievements in this field, and on the event of his retirement, a symposium is hereby proposed which will focus on trace element biogeochemistry in the global environment. The symposium will take place on December 3-4, 1992, at California Institute of Technology. Approximately 24 distinguished biogeochemists will be invited to present keynote talks. These talks will be supplemented by a research poster session which will be open the scientific community. The symposium format will allow ample time for discussion of the progress and future in trace element biogeochemistry, and proceedings will be published in a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the symposium. The symposium will be unique in its comprehensive view of trace element biogeochemistry and its cycles among the major spheres of the earth.

微量元素是指在大气、水圈或地圈中含量不高的元素，但它们是生物地球化学过程的重要示踪剂，其中许多是生命所必需的，特别是在海洋环境中。克莱尔·c·帕特森（claire C. Patterson）等先驱者是最早获得正确解释这些元素所需的准确数据的人之一。为纪念帕特森教授在这一领域的成就，并在他退休之际，特提议举办一次以全球环境中微量元素生物地球化学为主题的研讨会。讨论会将于1992年12月3日至4日在加州理工学院举行。大约24位杰出的生物地球化学家将被邀请作主题演讲。这些会谈将由一个向科学界开放的研究海报会议来补充。研讨会的形式将为讨论微量元素生物地球化学的进展和未来提供充足的时间，会议记录将发表在专门讨论该研讨会的同行评议期刊上。这次专题讨论会的独特之处在于其对微量元素生物地球化学及其在地球各主要领域之间的循环的全面看法。
