2014 Oceans and Human Health GRC/GRS: Anthropogenic Impacts on Coastal Communities and Ecosystems

该奖项将为第四届海洋与人类健康戈登研究会议（GRC）及其相关的戈登研究研讨会（GRS）提供部分支持。本次会议和研讨会的目标是鼓励交流和讨论海洋卫生前沿的新想法和未发表的成果，海洋卫生是海洋研究与人类健康交界的跨学科领域。来自学术界、政府和工业界的科学家和学生将齐聚一堂，分享最新的发现和前沿思想。2014年OHH GRC的主题是“对沿海社区和生态系统的人为影响”，将沿着两个主要轨道进行讨论，重点关注人类健康与海洋环境之间的关系：1)新出现的和遗留的污染物，以及2)气候变化对海洋和人类健康的影响。OHH GRC/GRS由两部分组成。第一部分，GRS，是一个为期两天的会议，专门为研究生、博士后和其他具有类似经验水平的科学家提供一个论坛，以展示关于OHH的新数据和前沿思想，并为网络和指导提供一个论坛。为期两天的GRS之后是为期五天的GRC，在那里，知名和世界知名的研究人员和科学家在海洋与人类健康的最前沿展示，交流和讨论新想法和未发表的结果。将特别强调评价人类健康与海洋环境之间的相互关系，专题介绍将侧重于新出现的污染物和气候变化的影响。智力优势：在之前三次成功的OHH GRC/ grs的基础上，2014年会议将促进前沿研究的公开交流，为包括海洋学家、生物学家、流行病学家和毒理学家在内的各个学科的顶尖研究人员提供充分的合作机会。会议计划由会议主席根据负责解决早期科学家参与和国际参与问题的委员会的意见制定。更广泛的影响：聚集世界知名的学术、政府和工业科学家，分享OHH领域的最新发现，这将带来新的知识，从业者可以使用这些知识来最大限度地减少人类活动对世界海洋的负面影响，帮助维护海洋资源，并通过与海洋的有益互动改善人类健康和福祉。本次会议旨在通过鼓励有前途的学生、博士后和初级教师参加上一届和下一届GRC，进一步发展该领域的人力资源。研究人员和科学家将通过参加正式会议、海报展示和非正式互动，重点关注女性、少数民族、初级教师、博士后和学生。

This award will provide partial support for the Fourth Oceans and Human Health (OHH) Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and its associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). The objectives of this Conference and Seminar are to encourage communication and discussion of new ideas and unpublished results at the frontier of OHH, an interdisciplinary field at the interface between ocean research and human health. Scientists and students from academia, government, and industry will be brought together to share recent discoveries and cutting-edge ideas. The theme of the 2014 OHH GRC, "Anthropogenic impacts on coastal communities and ecosystems," will be addressed along two primary tracks that focus on the relationships between human health and the ocean environment: 1) emerging and legacy contaminants, and 2) climate change impacts on oceans and human health. The OHH GRC/GRS consists of two parts. The first part, the GRS, is a two-day meeting that provides a forum specifically for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience to present new data and cutting edge ideas on OHH as well as providing a forum for networking and mentoring. The two-day GRS is followed by the five-day GRC where established and world renowned researchers and scientists present, communicate, and discuss new ideas and unpublished results at the very frontier of Oceans and Human Health. Particular emphasis will be placed on evaluating the inter-relationships between human health and the ocean environment, with presentation tracks focusing on emerging contaminants and on climate change impacts. Intellectual Merit : Building off of three successful prior OHH GRC/GRSs, the proposed 2014 meeting will foster open exchange of cutting edge research, with ample opportunities for building collaborations among top researchers from various disciplines including oceanographers, biologists, epidemiologists, and toxicologists. The conference program has been developed by the conference Chairs with input from committees tasked to address early scientist participation and international participation. Broader Impacts: Assembling world-renowned academic, government, and industrial scientists to share recent national and international discoveries in the field of OHH will lead to new knowledge that can be used by practitioners to minimize negative impacts of human activities on the world's oceans, help maintain ocean resources, and improve human health and well-being through a beneficial interaction with oceans. This meeting is designed to further develop the human resource within this area by encouraging promising students, post-docs, and junior faculty to participate in the preceding GRS and in the following GRC. Researchers and scientists will be engaged with an emphasis on female, minority, junior faculty, postdocs and students through participation at formal sessions, poster presentations and informal interactions.
