2014 Oceans and Human Health Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Semin

描述(由申请人提供)： 拟议的海洋与人类健康戈登研究会议(GRC)和戈登研究研讨会(GRS)的目标是鼓励交流和讨论海洋与人类健康前沿领域的新想法和未发表的成果；这是一个介于海洋研究和人类健康之间的跨学科领域，来自学术界、政府和工业界的科学家和学生将聚集在一起，分享这一跨学科领域的最新发现。会议将促进前沿研究的开放交流，为来自不同学科的顶尖研究人员，包括海洋学家、生物学家、流行病学家和毒物学家之间建立合作提供了充足的机会。OHH GRC/GRS是唯一一个旨在将这些社区聚集在一起解决与海洋有关的健康问题的场所。这一场所对于今后在理解海洋与健康之间复杂的相互关系方面取得成功至关重要。这些目标将通过以下方式实现：1)。聚集了世界知名的学术、政府和工业科学家，分享在OHH领域的最新国内和国际发现。将鼓励有前途的学生、博士后和初级教师参加之前的GRS，并将鼓励他们参加以下GRC；2)通过为参与者提供在轻松友好的环境中互动的机会，促进信息和思想的开放交流以及OHH研究前沿科学家之间的合作机会；以及3)通过参加正式会议、海报演示和非正式互动，吸引OHH领域的研究人员和科学家--重点是女性、少数族裔、初级教师、博士后和学生--包括专门指导这一新兴学科学生的相关GRS on OHH。本次会议的共同主席已安排了由世界知名科学家组成的演讲者议程，他们的研究重点是人类活动对沿海社区和生态系统的影响。将特别强调评估人类健康与海洋环境之间的相互关系，并重点介绍新出现的污染物和气候变化的影响。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The objectives of the proposed Oceans and Human Health (OHH) Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) are to encourage communication and discussion of new ideas and unpublished results at the frontier of OHH; an interdisciplinary field that is at the interface between ocean research and human health, Scientists and students from academia, government, and industry will be brought together to share recent discoveries in this interdisciplinary field. The meeting will foster open exchange of cutting edge research, with ample opportunities for building collaborations among top researchers from various disciplines including oceanographers, biologists, epidemiologists, and toxicologists. The OHH GRC/GRS is the only venue designed to bring these communities together to address ocean related health issues. This venue is critical for future successes in understanding the complex inter-relationships between the oceans and health. These objectives will be met by: 1). Assembling world-renowned academic, government, and industrial scientists to share recent national and international discoveries in the field of OHH. Highly promising students, post-docs, and junior faculty will be encouraged to participate in the preceding GRS and will be encouraged to participate in the following GRC; 2) Fostering the open exchange of information and ideas and the opportunity for collaboration among scientists at the cutting edge of OHH research by providing opportunities for participants to interact in a relaxed and friendly environment; and 3) Engaging researchers and scientists - with an emphasis on female, minority, junior faculty, postdocs and students - in the field of OHH through participation at formal sessions, poster presentations and informal interactions, including the associated GRS on OHH specifically targeted at mentoring students in this emerging discipline." The co-Chairs for this conference have assembled a speaker agenda consisting of world-renowned scientists whose research focuses on the anthropogenic impacts on coastal communities and ecosystems. Particular emphasis will be placed on evaluating the inter-relationships between human health and the ocean environment, with presentation tracks focusing on emerging contaminants and on climate change impacts.
