Workshop: Marine Organic Geochemistry Review and Future Challenges

自从1975年在苏格兰爱丁堡举行的研讨会的会议记录发表以来，已经完成了十年的海洋有机地球化学研究。关于世界海洋有机质生物地球化学研究的挑战、大气-海洋相互作用、现代和古代沉积物、爱丁堡会议概述的研究领域的论文，现在在接下来的十年期间已有数千篇。已经取得了很大的进展，对海洋有机物质的研究为我们理解海洋环境的化学做出了重大贡献。将于1989-1990年举办一次关于“海洋有机地球化学回顾和未来挑战”的国际讲习班，以评估自1975年上次关于这一专题的讲习班以来在海洋有机地球化学方面取得的进展，并确定今后的主要研究问题。将讨论的主题包括生化循环；DOC、POC和生物地质聚合物；早期成岩/转化反应；分子古生物学；物理有机化学。召集人计划安排同行评议的期刊发表审查论文和研讨会的建议。

A decade of marine organic geochemistry research has been accomplished since the publication of the proceedings of the 1975 workshop in Edinburgh, Scotland. Papers focusing on the challenges of the studies of the biogeochemistry of organic matter in the world's ocean, atmosphere-ocean interactions, contemporary and ancient sediments, research areas outlined in the Edinburgh meeting, now number into the thousands in the subsequent ten year period. Progress has been substantial, and studies of marine organic have made significant contributions to our understanding of the chemistry of the marine environment. An international workshop on "Marine Organic Geochemistry Review and Future Challenges" will be convened in 1989-1990 to assess progress in marine organic geochemistry since the last workshop on the topic 1975, and identify key research problems for the future. Topics to be addressed include biochemical cycles; DOC, POC and biogeopolymers; early diagenesis/transformation reactions; molecular paleontology; physical organic chemistry. The conveners plan to arrange for peer reviewed journal publication of review papers and recommendations of the workshop.
