Polar Marine Science - 2007

该奖项将为参加第六届戈登极地海洋科学研究会议的与会者提供旅费和注册费。会议，定于2007年3月20日至25日，题为跨学科看过程多尺度的变化。参与者将探索物理，化学和生物过程，这些过程主导着从微观尺度到全球尺度，从秒到秒的时间和空间尺度。这种新的格式令人兴奋，因为它使我们能够从各种不同的Vantage位置来看待每个尺度，并更好地理解基本的物理，生物，更广泛的影响戈登研究会议是不寻常的，与会者预计将出席所有会议，并积极参与讨论。会议还包括对北方和南方高纬度海洋的双边处理。对两极的关注可能会对全球尺度的过程有新的认识.考虑到预期的与会者人数，所要求的资金水平将使组织者能够为否则无法出席会议的合格与会者，包括青年科学家、研究生和发展中国家的科学家提供25%以上的费用支持。

AbstractIntellectual MeritThis award will provide support of travel and registration costs for participants to attend the Sixth Gordon Research Conference on Polar Marine Science. The conference, scheduled for 20-25 March 2007, is titled An Interdisciplinary Look at Processes Over Multiple Scales of Variability. Participants will explore the physical, chemical, and biological processes that dominate temporal and spatial scales ranging from the microscale to the global scale and from seconds to eons.This new format is exciting because it allows us look at each scale from a variety of different vantage points and to better understand how the fundamental physical, biological, and chemical processes of that scale interact to produce the phenomena we measure.Broader ImpactsGordon Research Conferences are unusual in that attendees are expected to attend all sessions and to actively participate in the discussions.. The conference also includes a bilateral treatment of the northern and southern high latitude oceans. A bipolar focus may to new insights into global scale processes. Given the anticipated number of participants, the requested level of funding would allow the organizers to provide support for more than 25% of the expenses for qualified participants who would otherwise be unable to attend, including young scientists, graduate students, and scientists from developing countries.
