ABSTRACTRivers are the primary interface between terrestrial and ocean environments and play a central and multi-faceted role in linking the terrestrial and marine cycles of bioactive elements --- carbon in particular. The magnitude of weathering and erosion processes on land, sediment storage within the river system, and cycling and burial processes in adjacent ocean margins collectively support the premise that rivers and RiOMar environments play an important role in global change. We seek support for a community workshop, to be held on the Tulane University campus (Fall, 2001), in which approximately 50 scientists from the earth and ocean science communities will participate. Major goals to be addressed at this RiOMar workshop are: (1) To assess the current state-of-knowledge regarding the role of rivers and associated margins in the global cycles of carbon and other bioactive elements. (2) To identify, by community consensus, the major unresolved questions regarding RiOMar environments and their role in these global cycles. Outstanding iuburning questionslg will be prioritized as a means to focus future research efforts. (3) To identify salient areas of research in which interdisciplinary and/or cross-cutting research approaches will be needed, and to evaluate the manner in which these various research approaches can be facilitated.The central goal of RiOMar is to evaluate the role of rivers and associated ocean margins in the global cycles of carbon and other bioactive elements, and to better characterize the processes that govern the cycling and fate of bioactive elements in these environments.

摘要河流是陆地和海洋环境之间的主要界面，在连接陆地和海洋生物活性元素（特别是碳）循环方面起着中心和多方面的作用。陆地风化和侵蚀过程的规模、河流系统内的沉积物储存以及邻近海洋边缘的循环和埋藏过程共同支持了河流和RiOMar环境在全球变化中发挥重要作用的前提。我们寻求对一个社区讲习班的支持，该讲习班将在杜兰大学校园举行（2001年秋季），来自地球和海洋科学界的大约50名科学家将参加。RiOMar研讨会的主要目标是：（1）评估目前关于河流和相关边缘在碳和其他生物活性元素全球循环中的作用的知识状况。(2)通过社区共识，确定有关RiOMar环境及其在这些全球周期中的作用的主要未解决问题。突出的iuburning问题将优先作为一种手段，集中未来的研究工作。(3)确定需要采用跨学科和/或交叉研究方法的突出研究领域，并评价促进这些不同研究方法的方式。RiOMar的中心目标是评价河流和相关海洋边缘在碳和其他生物活性元素全球循环中的作用，并更好地表征控制这些环境中生物活性元素的循环和命运的过程。
