Workshop support for US Arctic GEOTRACES planning and International collaboration

该奖项将支持一个为期三天的规划研讨会，该研讨会将在华盛顿特区举行，以支持美国在北冰洋的地理追踪工作。GeoTraces是一个国际方案，其目标是记录和了解世界海洋中痕量元素及其同位素的分布情况。地球轨道系统任务的执行工作正在世界大部分海洋进行。虽然这次会议将主要集中在美国的努力上，但国际社会的参与将受到鼓励。研讨会广告和招聘将通过电子邮件列表进行，包括GEOTRACES、海洋碳和生物地质化学(OCB)和ArcticInfo。讲习班参加者总数估计为25至30人。研讨会的计划成果是(1)研讨会报告和(2)美国地理跟踪系统北冰洋执行计划。

This award will support a three-day planning workshop, to be held in the Washington DC area, for a U.S. GEOTRACES effort in the Arctic Ocean. GEOTRACES is an international program with the goal of documenting and understanding the distribution of trace elements and their isotopes (TEIs) in the world's oceans. Implementation of the GEOTRACES mission is underway in much of the world's oceans. While the meeting will be largely focused on a U.S. effort, international participation will be encouraged. Workshop advertising and recruitment will be conducted through email lists including GEOTRACES, Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) and ArcticInfo. The total number of workshop participants is estimated at 25 to 30. Planned results of the workshop are (1) a workshop report and (2) a U.S. GEOTRACES Arctic Ocean Implementation Plan.
