SUMMARY:10th International Symposium in Metallomics (ISM-10)
DESCRIPTION:Ecole normale supérieure (ENS-PSL)\, Paris\, France\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbstract Deadline: June 15\, 2025 (Noon\, Paris time\, CET)Early Bird Registration period: May 5th – June 31st\, 2025\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBackground \n\n\n\nMetal ions (such as iron\, zinc\, copper\, manganese\, nickel\, cobalt…) are essential to biology\, playing a key part in fundamental life processes such as respiration\, photosynthesis\, cell growth\, genome regulation or maintenance\, enzymatic reactions\, cell proliferation\, immune function\, oxidative stress in pathological conditions\, etc. The rich physico-chemical properties of these metal ions bring a chemical diversity in terms of structure or reactivity\, which is widely exploited by living systems. Indeed\, over 40% of living proteins are believed to contain a metal essential to their activity. \n\n\n\nMetallomics deals with the study of metals and metalloids in biology; but it extends to the study of metal-based artificial systems\, possibly bio-inspired by some components of the metallome\, and their uses in health\, energy and the environment. Other disciplines resort to techniques to analyze metallic speciation\, structure and physico-chemical related properties: the cross-talk with geology or arts can be fertilizing and we will take the opportunity of this congress to open up the frontiers of biology to other disciplines dealing with the characterization of metal ions\, including arts and heritage. \n\n\n\nThe 10th edition of International Symposium of Metallomics will take place at the Ecole normale supérieure (ENS-PSL\, Paris\, France). You will have the opportunity to discover the historical location where Louis Pasteur and Jules Raulin\, one of his collaborators who discovered in 1869 that zinc salts were required for the growing of Aspergillus niger\, worked. \n\n\n\nRelevant Themes: “Metals and geochemistry environment” and “Metals and remediation\, recycling”.Plenary Speaker: Prof. Woodward Fischer\, Caltech\, division of Geological and Planetary Sciences\, “Evolution of metal availability and utilization by the early biosphere through Earth’s Great Oxygenation” \n\n\n\nFor further information: https://www.notis-event.com/ISM-2025

SUMMARY:European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2020 (EGU2020)
DESCRIPTION:European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2020 (EGU2020) \n\n\n\nThe physical EGU General Assembly 2020 in Vienna\, Austria\, has been cancelled.  To minimise the impact\, EGU has decided to host an EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online meeting.For further information: https://www.egu2020.eu/ \n\n\n\nGEOTRACES-related sessions:\n\n\n\nThe list below shows GEOTRACES-related sessions submitted to the physical EGU2020 which has been cancelled. Please check the EGU2020 web site to find the most updated information on the activities and sessions organised by EGU2020 ONLINE meeting. \n\n\n\n*OS3.3 Mercury and persistent organic pollutants in the oceanDonata Melaku Canu\, Javier Castro Jimenez\, Lars-Eric Heimbürger-Boavida\, Mario Sprovieri \n\n\n\nhttps://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2020/session/36166 \n\n\n\nWe welcome contributions focusing on observations\, experiments\, and modelling of the mercury (Hg) and POP (persistent organic pollutants) cycles in the estuarine\, coastal and ocean environments. Other compartments of the earth system\, and related societal\, ecosystem and human health impact studies are welcome as well. Combined mercury and POPs as well as coupled observation and modelling approaches are especially welcome. The main objectives of this special session are to further the understanding of the sources and fluxes; the quantification and assessment of the processes; mechanisms driving transfer through the marine trophic web; biogeochemical modeling; effects of climate change and changed emissions scenarios; scenarios of mitigation and adaptation to mercury and POP’s pollution\, and impacts on society\, ecosystem and human health. \n\n\n\n*OS3.6 Impacts of anthropogenic pollution on ocean biogeochemistryCamille Richon\, Lars-Eric Heimbürger-Boavida\, Charlotte Laufkötter\, Susan Little \n\n\n\nhttps://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2020/session/36174 \n\n\n\nMarine anthropogenic pollution is increasingly recognized as a serious issue of global concern with substantial risks for marine ecosystems\, fisheries\, and food supply to people. Plastic and chemical contaminants are spread on a planetary scale\, and may have devastating impacts on marine ecosystems. Yet\, they remain poorly studied and much is yet to learn about how plastic and chemical contamination impacts marine nutrient cycles and the lower food chain. In this session\, we invite contributions from experimentalists and modellers trying to understand the impacts of plastics as well as chemical contaminants on the biogeochemistry of the oceans. The objective of this session is to share the current research on how the multiple sources of anthropogenic pollution impact marine biogeochemical cycles\, such as pollutant leaching from plastics\, plastic ingestion by marine animals\, and direct contamination of the water by contaminated rivers\, aerosols\, or submarine groundwater. The session would welcome all techniques\, including direct measurements of contaminant fluxes\, isotopic or other approaches to tracing contamination\, modelling\, experimental incubations with contaminants\, mesocosm studies and toxicity assessments. We particularly encourage contributions regarding the quantification of sources and fluxes of contaminants to the marine environment\, and the effects of this contamination (toxicity from chemical contaminants such as heavy metals or PCBs\, effects of plastic ingestion on zooplankton…). \n\n\n\n*BG1.5 Mercury cycling in the environment – sources\, processes\, impacts\, and archives from local to global scalesan G. Wiederhold\, Sofi Jonsson\, Martin Jiskra\, Sophia Hansson \n\n\n\nhttps://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2020/session/35204 \n\n\n\nMercury (Hg) is a toxic global pollutant of great environmental concern. The UNEP Minamata convention on mercury\, a legally-binding international treaty aiming to reduce negative impacts of Hg on the environment\, has entered into force in 2017. Anthropogenic activities have altered the global Hg cycle to a great extent and many ecosystems are threatened by exposure to elevated levels of Hg and its different species. For instance\, neurotoxic and bioaccumulating methyl-Hg is formed under the influence of anaerobic microorganisms in a variety of natural systems but the controls on this key process are still far from being understood. Further active Hg research areas include exchange processes at the atmosphere-soil-plant interface and their importance for understanding atmospheric Hg deposition\, the behavior and long-term fate of Hg at contaminated sites\, as well as global cycling models assessing the evolution of historic Hg fluxes from different natural and anthropogenic sources. In the past few years\, a number of novel research tools based on microbiological\, spectroscopic\, isotopic\, and modelling techniques have been developed to improve our understanding of Hg cycling in the environment. This session presents new contributions on present-day Hg cycling in the environment using field-based\, experimental\, and/or modelling approaches on local to global scales\, as well as contributions focusing on long- and short-term reconstruction of Hg as a pollutant over time using natural archives such as ice-cores\, tree-rings\, lake sediments and peat bogs. We particularly welcome research addressing the effects of the implementation of the Minamata convention on mercury levels in the environment and new approaches to assess its effectiveness. \n\n\n\n*BG4.5 The impact of anthropogenic sediment reworking on the seafloorSebastiaan van de Velde\, Pere Masqué and Sarah Paradis \n\n\n\nhttps://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2020/session/35228 \n\n\n\nThe human imprint on the marine realm has rapidly increased during the last century\, leaving no area unaffected by human activities. Bottom trawl fishing intensity has boomed since the 1950s\, while at the same time dredging activities in coastal zones have intensified to maintain navigable waterways\, reclaim land\, construct wind farms or counteract coastal erosion. Off-shore drilling platforms have been constructed around the world\, and more recently\, deep-sea mining has become an attractive avenue for mineral extraction. All of these economic activities physically perturb the seabed\, and are expected to have a strong effect on the natural biological\, geochemical and physical dynamics of the ocean. However\, very little is understood about the short-term and long-term impact of these anthropogenic physical disturbances. \n\n\n\nThis session aims to create a multidisciplinary discussion on the impact and potential remediation of diverse anthropogenic alterations on the seafloor\, and invites contributions ranging from marine ecology over physical oceanography and biogeochemistry\, be it observational\, theoretical or experimental. \n\n\n\n*CL5.4 Challenges and opportunities arising from palaeo-data compilationsNikita Kaushal\, Laia Comas-Bru\, Franziska Lechleitner and Sophie Warken \n\n\n\nhttps://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU2020/session/36725 \n\n\n\nThe number of past climatic and/or ecological data generated from a range of distinct proxies and natural archives is continuously growing. Hence\, significant advances in palaeoclimate research can now be made using large-scale compilations. Establishing such large-scale databases reveal supra-regional and global spatial and temporal patterns in palaeoclimate conditions that are not possible with single records. This session aims at presenting current advances in palaeoclimate and palaeoecology based on local- to global-scale syntheses. Bringing together palaeoclimate databases with observational and/or climate modelling outputs is crucial for improving our understanding of past climate conditions\, to identify signal and noise components and their temporal dynamics\, and to gain insight into the quality of data-model comparisons. We therefore aim at bridging the gap between data generation\, earth system modeling and data assimilation studies. We encourage submissions on data compilations\, cross-comparison and modelling studies utilizing data repositories and databases (e.g.\, NEOTOMA\, SISAL\, PAGES2k\, ACER\, EPD).

SUMMARY:2019 Gordon Research Conference on Chemical Oceanography
DESCRIPTION:2019 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Seminar (GRS) on Chemical Oceanography\nDates: 13-19 July 2019\nLocation: Holderness School\, Holderness\, NH\, USA \nGRC: Discovering Chemical Processes and Mechanisms in a Changing Ocean \nThe study of ocean chemistry is central to the understanding of global biogeochemical cycling and human sustainability. Since this GRC conference began 50 years ago\, great progress has been achieved in the fundamental understanding of the chemistry of the oceans. Yet there is a great deal to be learned about how the chemical species and their inventories in the oceans interact with physical\, geological\, biological\, biochemical\, and chemical processes. Moreover\, there are now a myriad of anthropogenic influences that are also likely changing marine geochemical and biogeochemical cycles. \nThis conference will highlight the leading edge of research in chemical oceanography with a focus on elucidating key processes and discovering mechanisms relevant to understanding large scale biogeochemical cycles in the oceans. Topics will explore key chemical reactions that influence biogeochemical processes\, examine reaction rates and what controls them\, applications of biochemical approaches\, large scale observations\, modeling and synthesis\, deep-time changes in ocean chemistry\, fluxes across interfaces\, and developments in instrumentation. This conference aims to connect researchers united by a common interest in improving our understanding of the changing chemistry of the oceans\, and to catalyze future research in understanding the biogeochemical cycles of marine environments. \nThe 2019 GRC will be preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) in Chemical Oceanography that is open to graduate students and postdocs in Chemical Oceanography and related fields. The GRS provides a forum for early career researchers to present research results\, promote networking\, and to conduct career building discussions within a peer-to-peer setting. The GRS is chaired by two graduate students and will include an invited keynote speaker. \nDeadlines: \n\nApplications for the GRC meeting must be submitted by June 16\, 2019.\nApplications for GRS must be submitted by June 15\, 2019\n\nFor further information Gordon Research Seminar (GRS): https://www.grc.org/chemical-oceanography-grs-conference/2019/\nFor further information Gordon Research Conference (GRC): https://www.grc.org/chemical-oceanography-conference/2019/

SUMMARY:An Ocean of Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:An Ocean OpportunityDates: September 16-20\, 2019 Location: Honolulu Convention Center\, HI For further information: www.oceanobs19.net\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe organizers of OceanObs’19 are soliciting abstracts of Community White Papers describing aspirations for the coming decade from all interested groups. The Community White Papers should promote international collaboration and large-scale sustained ocean observing efforts\, and address one or ideally more of the seven (anticipated) themes (Discovery\, Ecosystem Health & Biodiversity\, Climate Variability & Change\, Water\, Food\, & Energy Security\, Pollution & Human Health\, Hazards & Maritime Safety\, and Blue Economy) and two crosscutting themes on data information system and ocean observing governance topics. \nBased on the contributed abstracts of Community White Papers\, the OceanObs’19 Program Committee will solicit full Community White Papers to be submitted by end of September 2018. The Program Committee may recommend that authors of particular abstracts collaborate and merge the concepts described in separate abstracts to develop a joint Community White Paper. The papers will be peer-reviewed and published in an open access journal before the conference.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe seek abstract contributions that provide solutions to build and enhance connections between end users and ocean observations in relation to one or more of the conference themes.  Additionally\, abstracts should focus on (one or more of the following):   \n\nStrategies to address social and economic needs including the development of the Blue Economy;\nEmerging science concepts that require multidisciplinary sustained observations (i.e. biological\, biogeochemical\, physical\, geological\, social and economic\, etc.);\nThe value of existing ocean observations and their potential relevance in an evolving ocean observing system;\nThe requirements for sustaining and enhancing ocean observing capabilities;\nThe development of new observing technologies and networks\, including identification of new transformative directions for ocean observing;\nAdvances in open data\, information technology\, and governance systems;\nObservational or observation-model synthesis;\nThe need for improved processes to better support research and operations;\nInnovations in engagement with end-user communities.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCONFERENCE INFORMATION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe main goal of the conference will be to further develop effective strategies for a sustained\, multidisciplinary and integrated ocean observing system\, and to better connect user communities and observers. End user communities include operational users\, national and local authorities as well as researchers\, from the public and private sectors.  Engagement with international user communities can take diverse forms\, including closer interaction to better target their needs for ocean observing networks and derived products while better informing management decisions. OceanObs’19 will continue the tradition of building the vision of ocean users and observers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBACKGROUND:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs part of the decadal conference series\, OceanObs’19 will galvanize the ocean observing community ranging from scientists to end users. OceanObs’19 seeks to improve response to scientific and societal needs of a fit-for-purpose integrated ocean observing system\, for better understanding the environment of the Earth\, monitoring climate\, and informing adaptation strategies as well as the sustainable use of ocean resources.   OceanObs’99 resulted in an internationally coordinated system for physical climate and ocean carbon observations.

Other subjects involving Ra\, Rn and Ac in the environment are welcome too. \nThe capacity of the workshop is limited to 75 participants. PhD students and postdoctoral fellows are particularly welcome to facilitate exchange between researchers who are new to the topic and experienced users of Ra and Rn as tracers. \nThe 7th international Ra-Rn workshop is organized by: –  Dr. Walter Geibert\, Alfred-Wegener-Institut Bremerhaven – Dr. Jan Scholten\, Kiel University –  Dr. Doris Meyerdierks\, HWK –  Dennis Koehler\, Alfred-Wegener-Institut Bremerhaven \nRegistration \nDeadline to register is 15 June 2018.
