2020 Ocean Global Change Biology 2020 GRC/GRS

了解海洋中的全球变化生物学是海洋科学的一个主要重点领域。全球变化生物学在海洋中的范围和强度要求采取跨学科的研究方法，该领域汇集了来自不同学科的科学家，包括物理、化学和生物海洋学，以及沿着进化和生态学。从历史上看，在一次会议上将这个社区聚集在一起是具有挑战性的，然而，自2014年戈登研究会议（GRC）关于海洋全球变化生物学的首次会议以来，以及2016年和2018年的后续会议，为社区创造了一个前所未有的机会，可以在一个类似务虚会的环境中分享尖端工作。到目前为止，海洋全球变化生物学GRC已经非常成功的优秀出席和贡献，特别是从早期的职业科学家，并催化了国际研究，教育和推广活动。该项目支持部分资金为20名美国研究生和博士后研究员参加2020年GRC和戈登海洋全球变化生物学研究研讨会，在沃特维尔谷会议中心沃特维尔谷，NH于2020年7月19日至24日。这次会议将促进分享新成果，整合跨学科的想法和方法，通常使用未发表的数据和想法。2020年会议将在前三次会议期间出现的快速发展的主题的基础上，在为期5天的会议上举行9次会议。这些包括需要利用我们使用古模型和模拟环境，扩大我们对多压力变化的看法，包括自上而下的过程和脱氧，建立对环境波动作用的理解，通过非遗传连接生理，生态和进化反应，理解种内变异的作用，在理解环境变化对不同生命史的影响方面的挑战，以及与热带化有关的挑战。由于这将是海洋全球变化生物学界的第四次会议，我们还将评估自2014年以来我们已经走了多远，重点是我们的研究如何用于保护或政策行动，并为如何改善未来的对外接触设定优先事项。2020年的GRC计划包括邀请演讲者和讨论领导者，他们跨越了一系列的背景和职业阶段，从提出新想法的博士后研究员到提供广泛视角的知名研究人员。该计划优先促进跨学科，国籍和职业阶段的互动。资助2020年GRC海洋全球变化生物学支持美国科学家参加海洋全球变化生物学现在和未来国际领导人的多样化会议，在那里可以讨论想法，推进研究方向，并优化多学科合作的优先事项。来自其他国家的研究人员踊跃参加这些会议，从而使美国科学家能够充分参与和发展国际合作，并站在新举措的最前沿。GRC和戈登研究研讨会还为学生和博士后研究人员提供培训和指导，以及宝贵的早期职业网络机会。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Understanding global change biology in the oceans is a major area of focus in marine sciences. The scope and intensity of global change biology in oceans demands an interdisciplinary approach to research, and the field brings together scientists from a diverse range of disciplines, including physical, chemical and biological oceanography, along with evolution and ecology. Historically, it has been challenging to bring together this community at a single meeting, however, since the inaugural meeting of the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Ocean Global Change Biology in 2014, and subsequent meetings in 2016 and 2018, an unparalleled opportunity for the community to meet in a retreat-like setting to share cutting- edge work has been created. To date, the Ocean Global Change Biology GRCs have been very successful with excellent attendance and contributions, particularly from early career scientists, and have catalyzed international research, education, and outreach initiatives. This project supports partial funding for 20 U.S. graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the 2020 GRC and Gordon Research Seminar on Ocean Global Change Biology, at the Waterville Valley Conference Center in Waterville Valley, NH on July 19-24, 2020. This meeting will facilitate the sharing of new results and the integration of ideas and approaches across disciplines, often using unpublished data and ideas. The 2020 conference will build on the fast-moving topics that have emerged during the three previous meetings through 9 sessions over the 5-day conference. These include the need leverage our use paleo models and analogue environments, expanding our view of multistressor changes to include top-down processes and deoxygenation, building an understanding of the roles of environmental fluctuations, connecting physiological, ecological and evolutionary responses through non-genetic inheritance, understanding the role of intraspecific variation, challenges in understanding the impact of environmental changes over different life histories, and challenges associated with tropicalization. Since this will be the fourth meeting of the ocean global change biology community, we will also take stock of how far we have come since ~2014, with a focus on how our research is being used for conservation or policy action, and setting priorities for how to improve outward-facing engagement going forward. The 2020 GRC program includes invited speakers and discussion leaders that span a range of backgrounds and career stages, from postdoctoral fellows who are putting fresh ideas forward, to established researchers who provide a broad perspective. The program prioritizes facilitating interaction across disciplines, nationalities, and career stages. Funding the 2020 GRC on Ocean Global Change Biology supports U.S scientists in attending a diverse meeting of present and future international leaders in ocean global change biology, where ideas can be discussed, research directions advanced, and priorities for multidisciplinary collaborations refined. These meetings are well attended by researchers from other countries, thus allowing U.S. scientists to fully participate in and develop international collaborations and be at the forefront of new initiatives. The GRC and Gordon Research Seminar also provides training and mentoring for students and postdoctoral researchers, and an invaluable early-career networking opportunity. More generally, the GRC will advance the communication skills and insights of the U.S. scientists during the meeting.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
