International Travel Grant: U.S. Participation at the 7th International Estuarine Biogeochemistry Symposium, Grimstad, Norway May, 2002

2002年5月，美国科学界将选出12名河口生物地球化学家参加在挪威格里姆斯塔德举行的第7届国际河口生物地球化学研讨会。 在这次会议期间，将特别强调讨论高纬度和低纬度峡湾地球化学的新成果。 此外，还将讨论北极、热带、亚热带和温带河口的地球化学。 专题讨论会将讨论有机物和微量金属之间的相互作用、氧化还原边界、养分对生产力的控制、气候变化影响、中型生态系统的实验设计、沉积物-水交换模型和新的取样技术等问题。 研讨会的结果很可能将发表在《海洋化学》杂志的特刊上。

ABSTRACTOCE-0217902Twelve estuarine biogeochemists will be selected from the U.S. scientific community to participate in the 7th International Estuarine Biogeochemistry Symposium to be held in Grimstad, Norway in May, 2002. During this meeting, special emphasis will be placed on discussions regarding new results on the biogeochemistry of high and low latitude fjords. In addition, the biogeochemistry of arctic, tropical, sub-tropical and temperate estuaries also will be addressed. Thematically, the symposium will discuss issues such as interactions between organic matter and trace metals, redox boundaries, nutrient control on productivity, climate change effects, experimental design of mesocosms, modeling of sediment-water exchange and new sampling techniques. Results from the symposium will be published most likely in a special edition of the journal Marine Chemistry.
