2005 Polar Marine Science Gordon Conference; March 13-18 2005; Ventura, CA

拟议的研讨会是戈登研究会议(GRC)，题为“2005极地海洋科学：极地海洋的气候反馈和营养变化”。它将于2005年3月在美国加利福尼亚州文图拉举行。该奖项将为特邀演讲者、讨论领袖和年轻研究人员的参与提供部分支持。会议的目的是评估最近记录的影响南北极地海洋系统的大规模年际变化、其物理基础及其对物理、化学、生物和耦合系统的影响。会议的计划是审查气候变化对海冰覆盖的影响，并将考虑对冰生物群以及二氧化碳和二甲基硫化物等物质交换的可能后果。将尝试评估在更广泛的食物网变异性中同时发生的年际变化的各个方面。讨论中将使用现场和模拟结果以及过去条件的古海洋学重建。会议的目标是促进学习和参与者的多样性，来自学术界、政府和工业界的科学家、技术人员和教育工作者将参加会议。因此，为支持和鼓励来自发展中国家的青年科学家和科学家建立初步的科学和个人联系提供了一个论坛。注册者将从代表性不足的群体和广泛的地理基础中挑选出来。这次会议的第二个方面是对南北高纬度海洋的双边处理。北极和南极通常可以在科学会议上分成不同的会议进行讨论。由于许多生物、地球化学和物理过程之间的共性，相互作用和影响将在这次会议上讨论，这些都是两极地区共同的。两极关注有助于对这些过程有新的见解，并有助于科学家之间未来的合作。

The proposed workshop is a Gordon Research Conference (GRC) titled "2005 Polar Marine Science: Climate Feedbacks and Trophic Shifts in Polar Seas". It will be held in March 2005 in Ventura, California USA. This award will provide partial support for the participation of invited speakers, discussion leaders and young investigators. The objective of the conference is to assess the recently documented large-scale, interannual changes that have impacted the northern and southern polar ocean systems, their physical bases, and their impacts on physical, chemical, biological and coupled systems. The plan of conference is to examine the impacts of the changing climate on sea ice cover, and likely consequences to ice biota and to the exchange of such substances as carbon dioxide and dimethyl sulfide, will be considered. An attempt will be made to assess aspects of concurrent interannual changes in broader food web variability. Both field and modeling results and paleoceanographic reconstruction of past conditions will be used in the discussions. The goals of the conference are to promote learning and participant diversity, and attendance will be open to scientists, technologists and educators from academia, government and industry. A forum is thus provided for support and encouragement of young scientists and scientist from developing countries as they establish initial scientific and personal contacts. Registrants will be drawn from underrepresented groups and from a wide geographic base. A second aspect of this conference is a bilateral treatment of the northern and southern high latitude oceans. The Arctic and the Antarctic often can be treated in separate sessions at scientific meetings. Because of commonality between many of the biological, geochemical, and physical processes, interactions and impacts will be addressed in this conference that are common to both polar regions. A bipolar focus can help lead to new insights into these processes, and future collaborations between scientists.
