2020 Ocean Global Change Biology 2020 GRC/GRS

了解海洋中的全球变化生物学是海洋科学关注的一个主要领域。海洋中全球变化生物学的范围和强度要求跨学科的研究方法，该领域汇集了来自不同学科的科学家，包括物理、化学和生物海洋学，以及进化和生态学。从历史上看，将这个社区聚集在一次会议上一直是一项挑战，然而，自2014年戈登海洋全球变化生物学研究会议（GRC）的首次会议以来，以及随后在2016年和2018年举行的会议，创造了一个无与伦比的机会，让社区在一个类似撤退的环境中会面，分享前沿工作。迄今为止，海洋全球变化生物学GRCs非常成功，有出色的出席和贡献，特别是来自早期职业科学家的贡献，并催化了国际研究、教育和推广活动。本项目支持20名美国研究生和博士后参加2020年GRC和戈登海洋全球变化生物学研究研讨会，该研讨会将于2020年7月19日至24日在新罕布什尔州沃特维尔谷会议中心举行。本次会议将促进新成果的分享和跨学科思想和方法的整合，通常使用未发表的数据和思想。2020年会议将通过为期5天的9场会议，以前三次会议期间出现的快速发展的主题为基础。这些挑战包括需要利用我们使用的古模型和模拟环境，扩大我们对多应激源变化的看法，包括自上而下的过程和脱氧，建立对环境波动作用的理解，通过非基因遗传将生理、生态和进化反应联系起来，理解种内变异的作用，理解环境变化对不同生活史的影响的挑战，以及与热带化相关的挑战。由于这将是海洋全球变化生物界的第四次会议，我们也将评估自2014年以来我们所取得的进展，重点关注我们的研究如何用于保护或政策行动，并为如何改善面向外部的参与确定优先事项。2020年GRC计划包括来自不同背景和职业阶段的特邀演讲者和讨论领袖，从提出新想法的博士后到提供广阔视角的知名研究人员。该计划优先促进跨学科，国籍和职业阶段的互动。资助2020年海洋全球变化生物学GRC支持美国科学家参加海洋全球变化生物学领域当前和未来国际领导人的多样化会议，在那里可以讨论想法，推进研究方向，并细化多学科合作的优先事项。来自其他国家的研究人员参加了这些会议，从而使美国科学家能够充分参与和发展国际合作，并站在新倡议的最前沿。GRC和戈登研究研讨会还为学生和博士后研究人员提供培训和指导，以及宝贵的早期职业交流机会。更广泛地说，GRC将在会议期间提高美国科学家的沟通技巧和洞察力。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

Understanding global change biology in the oceans is a major area of focus in marine sciences. The scope and intensity of global change biology in oceans demands an interdisciplinary approach to research, and the field brings together scientists from a diverse range of disciplines, including physical, chemical and biological oceanography, along with evolution and ecology. Historically, it has been challenging to bring together this community at a single meeting, however, since the inaugural meeting of the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Ocean Global Change Biology in 2014, and subsequent meetings in 2016 and 2018, an unparalleled opportunity for the community to meet in a retreat-like setting to share cutting- edge work has been created. To date, the Ocean Global Change Biology GRCs have been very successful with excellent attendance and contributions, particularly from early career scientists, and have catalyzed international research, education, and outreach initiatives. This project supports partial funding for 20 U.S. graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to attend the 2020 GRC and Gordon Research Seminar on Ocean Global Change Biology, at the Waterville Valley Conference Center in Waterville Valley, NH on July 19-24, 2020. This meeting will facilitate the sharing of new results and the integration of ideas and approaches across disciplines, often using unpublished data and ideas. The 2020 conference will build on the fast-moving topics that have emerged during the three previous meetings through 9 sessions over the 5-day conference. These include the need leverage our use paleo models and analogue environments, expanding our view of multistressor changes to include top-down processes and deoxygenation, building an understanding of the roles of environmental fluctuations, connecting physiological, ecological and evolutionary responses through non-genetic inheritance, understanding the role of intraspecific variation, challenges in understanding the impact of environmental changes over different life histories, and challenges associated with tropicalization. Since this will be the fourth meeting of the ocean global change biology community, we will also take stock of how far we have come since ~2014, with a focus on how our research is being used for conservation or policy action, and setting priorities for how to improve outward-facing engagement going forward. The 2020 GRC program includes invited speakers and discussion leaders that span a range of backgrounds and career stages, from postdoctoral fellows who are putting fresh ideas forward, to established researchers who provide a broad perspective. The program prioritizes facilitating interaction across disciplines, nationalities, and career stages. Funding the 2020 GRC on Ocean Global Change Biology supports U.S scientists in attending a diverse meeting of present and future international leaders in ocean global change biology, where ideas can be discussed, research directions advanced, and priorities for multidisciplinary collaborations refined. These meetings are well attended by researchers from other countries, thus allowing U.S. scientists to fully participate in and develop international collaborations and be at the forefront of new initiatives. The GRC and Gordon Research Seminar also provides training and mentoring for students and postdoctoral researchers, and an invaluable early-career networking opportunity. More generally, the GRC will advance the communication skills and insights of the U.S. scientists during the meeting.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
