U.S.-East Asia and Pacific: Co-sponsorship of an Asian/Pacific Regional GEOTRACES Planning Workshop Xiamen, China, August 2005

anderson, Robert F., Columbia U./ Lamont-Doherty地球观测站该奖项支持来自Lamont-Doherty地球观测站的两名美国研究人员参加2005年8月在中国厦门举行的国际GEOTRACES项目区域规划研讨会。来自澳大利亚、韩国、日本、英国、香港和台湾的研究人员也将参加。GEOTRACES是一项全球性的海洋微量元素及其同位素的生物地球化学循环研究。PI是GEOTRACES项目的联合主席；联合项目负责人是美国GEOTRACES项目和中国GEOTRACES规划工作之间的联络人。中方主办单位是厦门大学海洋与环境学院。该研讨会被视为一个将持续15年的国际项目的初始阶段。GEOTRACES项目对目前的海洋学研究状况来说是及时的。全球海洋的一个主要部分- -西北和西南太平洋- -的覆盖范围需要有关的海洋区域机构参与初步研究规划和巡航协调。

ABSTRACTOISE-0528068Anderson, Robert F. , Columbia U./ Lamont-Doherty Earth ObservatoryThis award supports the participation of two U.S. researchers from Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory to attend a regional planning workshop for the international GEOTRACES Program in Xiamen, China in August 2005. Researchers from Australia, Korea, Japan, U.K., Hong Kong, and Taiwan are also expected to attend. GEOTRACES is a global study of the marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes. The PI is a co-chair of the GEOTRACES program; the co-PI is the liaison between the U.S. GEOTRACES program and the Chinese GEOTRACES planning effort. The Chinese host organization is the College of Oceanography and Environment at Xiamen University. The workshop is seen as the initial stage of an international program that would run for 15 years.The GEOTRACES program is timely for the current state of oceanographic research. Coverage of a major fraction of the global ocean - the northwestern and southwestern Pacific - requires the involvement of the relevant oceanographic regional institutions in the initial research planning and in cruise coordination.
