2012 Oceans and Human Health Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Semi

描述(申请人提供)：海洋与人类以积极和消极的方式相互作用，这种相互作用已成为一门新兴的尖端“元学科”--海洋与人类健康--的基础。2012年戈登研究会议(GRC)和随之而来的关于海洋与人类健康的研究生研讨会(GRS)将讨论由OHH组成的众多学科中的几个，包括海洋学、水媒和海鲜传播的疾病、有害的藻华、流行病学、比较动物生理学、天然产物和合成有机化学、药理学、毒理学、社会科学、工程学、自然灾害、气候变化和其他与海洋相关的领域。2012年会议和研讨会的具体目标将包括关于海鲜(健康风险和益处)、水产养殖、自然灾害、气候变化、元基因组学、微生物组学、转录组学、预报和遥感、粪便指示剂检测的变化以及与人类健康有关的新出现的令人关注的化学品的会议。它还将讨论如何向公众传达海洋传播的健康风险和好处。最后，它将在深水地平线上举行一次简短的会议，向与会者介绍自2010年4月Macondo Canyon石油泄漏以来发生了哪些涉及石油命运和人类健康影响的研究，以及OHH在美国和欧洲的未来将被讨论。与所有GRC活动一样，这次会议和研讨会将汇集几个会议领域的专家，他们将在非常轻松的气氛中向初级科学家和研究生介绍最新信息。除了顶尖专家的正式演讲和海报演讲的学术价值外，OHH GRC还将为研究生和博士后提供更广泛的机会，就OHH主题进行“一对一”的讨论。会议还将努力吸引代表人数不足的与会者。 与公共卫生相关：第三届戈登研究会议和戈登海洋与人类健康研究研讨会将通过正式演讲、海报会议和科学家与学生之间的非正式互动，汇集最高水平的学术、政府、工业科学家和学生，分享在OHH几个领域的国内和国际最新发现，并讨论藻类和微生物生物学、物理和生物海洋学、流行病学和公共卫生、气候变化、基因组学和蛋白质组学、毒理学和经济学的最新相关研究。与所有GRC一样，这次会议将通过为与会者提供在轻松友好的环境中互动的机会，促进信息和思想的公开交流，以及OHH研究前沿科学家之间的合作机会。最后，它将通过参加正式会议、海报演示和非正式互动，包括专门针对这一新兴学科中指导学生的OHH相关GRS，在OHH研究领域吸引女性、少数族裔和初级教职员工和学生(博士后和研究生)。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Oceans interact with humans in both positive and negative ways and this interaction has become the foundation for an emerging, cutting-edge "metadiscipline" called Oceans and Human Health. The 2012 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and accompanying graduate student Seminar (GRS) on Oceans and Human Health (OHH) will address several of the many disciplines comprising OHH that include oceanography, waterborne and seafood-borne diseases, harmful algal blooms, epidemiology, comparative animal physiology, natural products and synthetic organic chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, social sciences, engineering, natural disasters, climate change and other ocean-related areas. Specific aims for the 2012 conference and seminar will include sessions on seafood (health risks and benefits), aquaculture, natural disasters, climate change, metagenomics, microbiomes, transcriptomics, forecasting and remote sensing, changes in fecal indicator detection and emerging chemicals of concern as they relate to human health. It will also address how to communicate ocean-borne health risks and benefits to the public. Finally, it will have a short session on the Deepwater Horizon to update the conferees on what research involving fate of the oil and human health effects has transpired since the April 2010 oil blowout in Macondo Canyon and the future of OHH in the United States and Europe will be discussed. As is the case with all GRC events, this conference and seminar will assemble experts in the several session areas who will present current information to junior scientists and graduate students in a very relaxed atmosphere. In addition to the intellectual merit of formal presentations and poster presentations by leading experts, the GRC on OHH will provide broader impact opportunities to graduate students and postdocs for "one-on-one" discussions about OHH topics. The Conference will also endeavor to attract underrepresented conferees. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: Through formal presentations, poster sessions and the informal interactions among scientists and students, the third Gordon Research Conference and Gordon Research Seminar on Oceans and Human Health will assemble the highest caliber of academic, government, industrial scientists and students to share recent national and international discoveries in the several fields of OHH and discuss the newest relevant research in algal and microbial biology, physical and biological oceanography, epidemiology and public health, climate change, genomics and proteomics, toxicology, and economics. As is the case with all GRCs, this conference will foster 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 finally, it wll engage female, minority, and junior faculty and students (postdoctoral and graduate) in the field of OHH research 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.
