2005 Polar Marine Science Gordon Conference; March 13-18 2005; Ventura, CA

拟议的研讨会是戈登研究会议（GRC）题为“2005年极地海洋科学：气候反馈和极地海洋的营养变化”。会议将于2005年3月在美国加州文图拉举行。该奖项将为受邀演讲者、讨论领袖和年轻调查人员的参与提供部分支持。会议的目的是评估最近记录的影响到北方和南方极地海洋系统的大规模年际变化、其物理基础及其对物理、化学、生物和耦合系统的影响。会议计划审查气候变化对海冰覆盖的影响，并将审议对冰生物群以及二氧化碳和二甲基硫等物质交换的可能后果。将试图评估更广泛的食物网变异性的同时年际变化的各个方面。现场和模拟结果以及过去条件的古海洋学重建将用于讨论。 会议的目标是促进学习和参与者的多样性，与会者将向来自学术界、政府和工业界的科学家、技术人员和教育工作者开放。因此，为支持和鼓励青年科学家和发展中国家的科学家建立初步的科学和个人联系提供了一个论坛。登记者将从任职人数不足的群体和广泛的地域基础中挑选。这次会议的第二个方面是双边处理北方和南方高纬度海洋问题。北极和南极通常可以在科学会议上分开讨论。由于许多生物，地球化学和物理过程之间的共性，相互作用和影响将在本次会议上讨论，这是共同的两个极地地区。双极焦点可以帮助对这些过程产生新的见解，以及科学家之间的未来合作。

The proposed workshop is a Gordon Research Conference (GRC) titled "2005 Polar Marine Science: Climate Feedbacks and Trophic Shifts in Polar Seas". It will be held in March 2005 in Ventura, California USA. This award will provide partial support for the participation of invited speakers, discussion leaders and young investigators. The objective of the conference is to assess the recently documented large-scale, interannual changes that have impacted the northern and southern polar ocean systems, their physical bases, and their impacts on physical, chemical, biological and coupled systems. The plan of conference is to examine the impacts of the changing climate on sea ice cover, and likely consequences to ice biota and to the exchange of such substances as carbon dioxide and dimethyl sulfide, will be considered. An attempt will be made to assess aspects of concurrent interannual changes in broader food web variability. Both field and modeling results and paleoceanographic reconstruction of past conditions will be used in the discussions. The goals of the conference are to promote learning and participant diversity, and attendance will be open to scientists, technologists and educators from academia, government and industry. A forum is thus provided for support and encouragement of young scientists and scientist from developing countries as they establish initial scientific and personal contacts. Registrants will be drawn from underrepresented groups and from a wide geographic base. A second aspect of this conference is a bilateral treatment of the northern and southern high latitude oceans. The Arctic and the Antarctic often can be treated in separate sessions at scientific meetings. Because of commonality between many of the biological, geochemical, and physical processes, interactions and impacts will be addressed in this conference that are common to both polar regions. A bipolar focus can help lead to new insights into these processes, and future collaborations between scientists.
