2021 Polar Marine Science GRC and GRS

该奖项提供资金，支持美国研究生和早期职业研究人员参加2019年戈登研究研讨会(GRS)和戈登研究会议(GRC)极地海洋科学会议，会议将于2021年5月22日至28日在加利福尼亚州文图拉举行。2021年全球资源中心的活动题为“综合海洋物理和生物地球化学以评估极地生态系统对快速变化的敏感性”。关于这一主题的戈登会议每两年举行一次，为讨论前沿和跨学科的海洋研究提供了一个重要论坛，强调这是一个国际优先主题。会议计划旨在对极地海洋生态系统的现状和未来状况提供强有力的见解，包括海洋环流、海冰动态、生物地球化学通量、生物多样性、生态系统健康和人类福祉的当地和区域方面。这次活动将汇集来自极地地区许多领域的学生和青年研究人员组成的跨学科小组。这种类型的交流对于确保美国科学家和工程师在极地地区保持国际研究领先地位至关重要。参与者将有机会以口头陈述或海报的形式介绍他们的工作，同时与该领域一些最著名的研究人员互动。GRS和GRC将解决与人类面临的重大环境和可持续发展挑战相关的基本方面。将特别强调确定极地地区研究中的下一代挑战。戈登研究会议的独特形式，包括受邀的演讲、有限的出席人数和充足的互动时间，将为早期职业科学家提供充足的讨论和网络机会。将特别强调鼓励学生和博士后从广泛的机构参与。GRC-PPS将在社区中广泛宣传，并将强烈鼓励初级科学家参与和申请旅行支持。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

This award provides funding in support of participation by U.S. graduate students and early career researchers for the 2019 Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) and Gordon Research Conference (GRC) Polar Marine Science meetings to be held in Ventura, CA May 22-28, 2021. The 2021 GRC event is entitled “Integrating Ocean Physics and Biogeochemistry to Assess Polar Ecosystem Sensitivity to Rapid Change”. Gordon conferences on this topic are held every two years and provide a key forum to discuss cutting-edge and cross-disciplinary marine research highlighted as an international priority topic. The conference plan is designed to provide powerful insights into the present and future states of polar marine ecosystems, including the local and regional aspects of ocean circulation, sea ice dynamics, biogeochemical fluxes, biodiversity, ecosystem health and human well-being. This event will bring together an interdisciplinary group of students and young researchers from many fields working in Polar regions. Exchanges of this type are essential for ensuring that U.S. scientists and engineers maintain international research leadership in in polar regions. Participants will have an opportunity to present their work in the form of oral presentations or posters while interacting with some of the most eminent researchers in the field. The GRS and GRC will address fundamental aspects, which are related to the grand environmental and sustainability challenges facing mankind. Specific emphasis will be given to defining the next generation challenges in polar region research. The unique format of the Gordon Research Conferences with invited talks, limited attendance, and ample time for interactions will provide early career scientists with ample opportunities for discussions and networking. Particular emphasis will be placed on encouraging student and post-doc participation from a broad range of institutions. The GRC-PPS will be widely advertised in the community and the participation and application for travel support by junior scientists will be strongly encouraged.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.
