Polar Marine Science - 2007

本奖学金将为参加第六届戈登极地海洋科学研究会议的学者提供旅费和注册费资助。这次会议定于2007年3月20日至25日举行，题目是“多尺度变异性过程的跨学科观察”。参与者将探索从微观尺度到全球尺度以及从秒到亿的时间和空间尺度上占主导地位的物理、化学和生物过程。这种新形式令人兴奋，因为它使我们能够从各种不同的有利位置来看待每个尺度，并更好地理解该尺度的基本物理、生物和化学过程如何相互作用，从而产生我们测量的现象。更广泛的影响戈登研究会议的不同寻常之处在于，与会者被期望参加所有会议并积极参与讨论。会议还包括对南北高纬度海洋的双边处理。双极焦点可能会对全球规模的过程产生新的见解。考虑到预期的参与者人数，所要求的资助水平将使组织者能够为合格的参与者提供超过25%的费用支持，否则这些参与者将无法参加会议，包括年轻科学家、研究生和来自发展中国家的科学家。

AbstractIntellectual MeritThis award will provide support of travel and registration costs for participants to attend the Sixth Gordon Research Conference on Polar Marine Science. The conference, scheduled for 20-25 March 2007, is titled An Interdisciplinary Look at Processes Over Multiple Scales of Variability. Participants will explore the physical, chemical, and biological processes that dominate temporal and spatial scales ranging from the microscale to the global scale and from seconds to eons.This new format is exciting because it allows us look at each scale from a variety of different vantage points and to better understand how the fundamental physical, biological, and chemical processes of that scale interact to produce the phenomena we measure.Broader ImpactsGordon Research Conferences are unusual in that attendees are expected to attend all sessions and to actively participate in the discussions.. The conference also includes a bilateral treatment of the northern and southern high latitude oceans. A bipolar focus may to new insights into global scale processes. Given the anticipated number of participants, the requested level of funding would allow the organizers to provide support for more than 25% of the expenses for qualified participants who would otherwise be unable to attend, including young scientists, graduate students, and scientists from developing countries.
