2009 Polar Marine Science Gordon Research Conference

戈登研究会议（GRC）极地海洋科学系列为极地研究前沿的介绍和讨论提供了一个国际论坛。会议的首要目标是将来自广泛学科的海洋科学家聚集在一起，以更好地了解极地地区大规模海洋动力学的含义。2009年GRC将在一个长期的综合系统的背景下处理主题。为此目的，我们将邀请代表许多海洋科学学科的发言者，他们在北极、南方和非极地海洋工作。受邀的演讲者包括历史上没有参加过GRC系列的科学家，包括来自帕尔默LTER和最近的奥登探险的科学家。会议改在意大利举行，以加强国际参与。计划中的会议将在2007-2009国际极地年（IPY）之后举行，国际极地年是迄今为止在极地研究方面进行的最重要的国际协调努力之一。与所有GRCs一样，本次会议旨在聚集该领域的领导者，并使他们彼此接触，并与初级科学家（特别是研究生和早期职业科学家）接触，以努力在该领域播下新思想的种子。资金将用于进一步加强早期职业科学家的参与，特别是那些来自代表性不足群体的科学家。

The Gordon Research Conference (GRC) series on Polar Marine Science provides an international forum for presentation and discussion at the frontier of polar research. The overarching goal of the conference will be to bring together marine scientists from wide ranging disciplines to better understand the implications of large-scale marine dynamics in polar regions. The 2009 GRC will approach themes within the context of a long-term, integrated system. To this end we will have speakers representing many disciplines of marine science, working in Arctic, Southern, and non-polar oceans. Invited speakers include scientists who have not historically participated in this GRC series, including those from the Palmer LTER and the recent Oden expeditions. The meeting has been moved to Italy in an effort to enhance international participation. The planned Conference will take place directly following the 2007-2009 International Polar Year (IPY), which has been one of the most significant internationally coordinated efforts yet undertaken in polar research. This conference seeks, as do all GRCs, to gather together leaders in the field and to bring them into contact with each other and with junior scientists (specifically graduate students and early career scientists) in an effort to seed new thought across this field. Funds will be used to enhance further the participation of early career scientists, particularly those from underrepresented groups.
