Organizers invite abstracts and registration for the 2023 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Seminar on Polar Marine Science. This conference, with the theme of Integrating Ocean Physics and Biogeochemistry to Assess Polar Ecosystem Sensitivity to Rapid Change, will take place 5-10 March 2023 in Ventura, California.
This GRC on Polar Marine Science will highlight recent advances in the understanding of physical-chemical-biological linkages and feedback processes across coupled ocean-cryosphere-atmosphere-ecosystems of the Arctic and Southern oceans. Special emphasis will be given to understand impacts on polar marine species, food webs, and habitats. Sessions will highlight recent advance in polar climate change detection and attribution, impacts of multiple stressors on biota, changes in habitat distribution, integrated approaches to collect multi-disciplinary observations, and novel methods to analyze and link long-term time-series data with conceptual and numerical models.
The conference will consist of both talks and posters. One-minute oral summaries of posters will allow presenters to address the entire group, promoting enhanced interactions, in-depth discussions, and brainstorming. A GRC "Power Hour" will be held to help address the challenges women face in polar science and support the professional growth of women in our communities by providing an open forum for discussion and mentoring.
A Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will be held on the weekend prior to the GRC. The GRS will provide a forum for graduate students and postdoctoral scientists to present their work in a peer-to-peer setting. The participants will discuss cutting-edge aspects of their research, and have the opportunity to build collaborative relationships with other early career researchers as well as with established scientists and mentors.
The seminar will focus on the spatial and temporal variability of processes (and specific methodology applied) occurring in the polar oceans, with a particular emphasis on interfaces. The seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and two poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS, either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.
