200th American Chemical Society Symposium, Geochemistry Division "Progress in Marine Chemistry"

回顾海洋化学进展的时机已经成熟。随着全球变化问题的出现，这一点尤其正确。诸如温室气体与海洋的交换或限制初级生产力的微量微营养素的可用性等问题，基本上取决于海水的物理化学。作为应用化学的一个新领域，美国化学学会长期以来一直是海洋化学这一新兴领域的倡导者。在其第200届年会上，ACS选择通过举办海洋化学进展研讨会来认可海洋化学。这次研讨会将由美国癌症学会地球化学部主办，将于8月27日至28日在华盛顿特区举行。地球化学部还将借此机会表彰爱德华·D·戈德堡教授在其漫长而富有成效的职业生涯中对海洋化学的贡献。

The time is ripe for a review of the progress in marine chemistry. Ths is particularly true with the advent of global change issues. Such issues like the exchange of greenhoue gases with ocean or availability of trace micro nutrients in limiting primary productivity depend fundamentally on the physical chemistry of sea water. The American Chemical Society has long been a champion of the bright of marine chemistry as a new field of applied chemistry. At its 200th annual meeting, the ACS has chosen to recognize marine chemistry by holding a symposium on Progress in Marine Chemistry. The symposium will be sponsored by the Geochemistry Division of ACS and will be held August 27 and 28 in Washington, DC. The Geochemistry Division will also take the opportunity of honoring the contribution of Professor Edward D. Goldberg to marine chemistry during his long and productive career.
