ABSTRACTOCE-0508743Recent geochemical, biological, and oceanographic work have together provided strong evidence that the marine nitrogen cycle is highly dynamic and that significant uncertainties remain in our knowledge of the important processes and fluxes that affect nitrogen in the ocean. New experimental methods and the extension of field studies to previously undersampled regions have demonstrated that the major fluxes of nitrogen into and out of the ocean are sufficiently large to turn over oceanic nitrogen on a time scale of several millennia. At this time, a broad synthesis of our current understanding of the marine nitrogen cycle is very timely and a critical step in focusing future research efforts into the nitrogen cycle and its interactions with other biogeochemical cycles (e.g., the carbon cycle).With this award to the Georgia Institute of Technology, travel funds will be provided to support the attendance of approximately seventeen U.S. scientists at an international workshop to assess and report on our current understanding of the marine nitrogen cycle that has been organized for 26 June to 1 July 2005 in Warnemunde, Germany. Core funding for the workshop has been obtained from the German Science Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft, DFG), but these funds will not cover the travel costs of US participants. This NSF award provides funds to cover basic airfare for the invited speakers from US institutions and to provide several travel grants targeted at graduate students and scientists at an early stage of their career.Broader Impacts: Funding through this award will provide travel support to US scientists who wish to take part in the SPOT-ON workshop in Warnemunde. NSF support is essential to ensuring that a diverse group of US scientists of various career stages will be able to take part in this workshop.

ABSTRACTOCE-0508743最近的地球化学、生物和海洋学工作共同提供了强有力的证据，表明海洋氮循环是高度动态的，并且我们对影响海洋氮的重要过程和通量的了解仍然存在很大的不确定性。 新的实验方法以及将现场研究扩展到以前采样不足的区域已经证明，进出海洋的主要氮通量足够大，足以在几千年的时间尺度上转变海洋氮。 目前，对我们目前对海洋氮循环的理解进行广泛的综合是非常及时的，也是将未来研究工作集中于氮循环及其与其他生物地球化学循环（例如碳循环）相互作用的关键一步。通过向佐治亚理工学院授予这一奖项，将提供差旅费，以支持大约 17 名美国科学家参加国际研讨会，以评估和报告我们当前的研究成果。 2005年6月26日至7月1日在德国瓦尔内明德举办的“了解海洋氮循环”活动。 本次研讨会的核心资金来自德国科学基金会（Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft，DFG），但这些资金不会支付美国参与者的旅费。 该 NSF 奖项提供的资金用于支付来自美国机构的受邀演讲者的基本机票费用，并为处于职业生涯早期阶段的研究生和科学家提供多项旅费补助。 更广泛的影响：通过该奖项提供的资金将为希望参加瓦尔内明德 SPOT-ON 研讨会的美国科学家提供旅费支持。 NSF 的支持对于确保不同职业阶段的美国科学家能够参加本次研讨会至关重要。
