SUMMARY:32th International Conference on Environmental Geochemistry and Health
DESCRIPTION:32th International Conference on Environmental Geochemistry and HealthDates: 4-8 July 2016Location: Brussels\, Belgium \nFor further information: segh-brussels.sciencesconf.org \nRelevant Session description: \nThis theme aims at providing a better understanding of the near surface environment where complex interactions between rock\, soil\, water\, air\, and living organisms that regulate sources\, sinks\, geochemical cycles and mobilization processes of life-sustaining resources. In addition to well-recognized contaminants (e.g. Pb\, Zn\, Hg)\, a range of trace elements\, including platinum group metals\, certain rare earth elements\, and Y\, Nb\, Ta\, Ga\, In\, Tl\, Ge and Te\, are increasingly exploited and emitted due to their use in new technologies in the fields of communication\, mobility and energy. Limited resources and supplies\, make most of these elements technology-critical elements (TCE) of strategic importance\, and initiatives at national and international levels are therefore underway to secure their availability in the coming years. Because of their (i) increasing use\, (ii) poorly understood biogeochemical behavior and (iii) potential toxicity\, TCE and other rare trace elements are emerging inorganic contaminants of substantial concern. \nSpecial attention will be paid to trace element and isotope analyses and monitoring to detect and model bioavailability and bioaccessibility of such metals and other pollutants in the environment and the associated risks to human health. In addition\, we welcome papers focusing on models helping speciation of key geochemical elements in aquatic and terrestrial environments. \nThis session is supported by the COST Action TD1470 NOTICE –Network On Technology-Critical Elements: From Environmental Processes To Human Health Threats (http://www.costnotice.net/)

SUMMARY:Sustained ocean observing for the next decade (GAIC2015)
DESCRIPTION:Sustained ocean observing for the next decadeA combined GO-SHIP/Argo/ IOCCP conference on physical and biogeochemical measurements of the water columnDates: 14 – 18 September 2015Location: Galway\, Ireland \nFor further information: http://www.gaic2015.org \nGEOTRACES Oral presentation:  \n4D3. Biogeochemical Cycling of Trace Elements in the Ocean: Current and future opportunities linking GEOTRACES to Argo and GO-SHIPPeter CROOT1\, Greg CUTTER2\, Maeve LOHAN3 and Past and Present members of the GEOTRACES S&I Committee1National University of Ireland\, Galway; 2Old Dominion University; 3University of Plymouth  \n-> Friday\, 18 September 2015 – 15h50-16h10. \n Abstract: The international GEOTRACES (www.geotraces.org) program is focused on identifying the processes\, and quantifying the fluxes\, that control the distributions of key trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) in the ocean\, and to establishing the sensitivity of these distributions to changing environmental conditions. The successful launch in 2014 of the GEOTRACES intermediate data product (IDP) (http://www.geotraces.org/dp/idp2014) was the first release of the global dataset for TEIs and provides a valuable resource for ocean researchers. In the absence of open ocean CRMs for seawater\, quality control for the IDP2014 was achieved through community analysis of consensus samples (e.g. SAFe and GEOTRACES) by the GEOTRACES research community with oversight by the GEOTRACES Standards and Intercalibration Committee (S&IC). This presentation will provide an overview of the approaches used currently by the GEOTRACES S&IC in examining data quality and the potential for greater overlap with other programs such as GO-SHIP\, IOCCP and Argo in the future for examining the role of TEIs in ocean biogeochemistry and climate. \n

SUMMARY:INQUA 2015
DESCRIPTION:INQUA 2015\, Quaternary Perspectives on Climate Change\, Natural Hazards and CivilizationDates: 27 July – 2 August 2015Location: Nagoya (Japan) \nFor further information: http://www.inqua2015.jp \nRelated session: \nModern calibration of palaeoenvironmental proxies from biogenic carbonate geochemistryhttp://convention.jtbcom.co.jp/inqua2015/session/p28.html \n \nConveners: Amy Prendergast (University of Mainz) and Emma Versteegh (California Institute of Technology). \n \nGeochemical signatures from biogenic carbonates are being increasingly employed as palaeoenvironmental proxies. Some of these proxies (e.g. ostracods\, foraminifera) grow in specific seasons allowing the reconstruction of seasonally-weighted environmental records. Others (e.g. corals\, mollusc shells\, otoliths\, faunal teeth) have incremental growth structures\, which allow the reconstruction of snapshots of palaeoenvironmental variability at sub-seasonal timescales. These proxies accumulate in geological or archaeological deposits\, and can be directly dated using methods such radiocarbon\, U-Th series\, or amino acid racemisation\, providing high resolution\, temporally-constrained palaeoenvironmental data. As with any living creature\, the life cycles of carbonate-secreting organisms are complex. It is becoming increasingly evident that inter and intra-species differences in growth rates\, physiology\, and environmental responses can cause variations in the chemical profiles of biogenic carbonates. Therefore\, before geochemical analysis is employed for palaeoenvironmental reconstruction\, it is necessary to examine modern populations of the proxy species\, or related taxa\, to understand how geochemical variations are influenced by local environmental conditions. This allows any offsets between the environmental signal and the carbonate geochemistry to be identified\, and allows the generation of more quantitative records of environmental change. This session invites presentations on proxy development and validation in biogenic carbonates\, including work on marine\, freshwater and terrestrial organisms\, and on traditional as well as novel geochemical proxies and applications.

SUMMARY:2015 Gordon Research Conference on Chemical Oceanography
DESCRIPTION:2015 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Chemical OceanographyProcesses at interfaces:  Bridging spatial\, temporal and disciplinary divides from micro- to global scalesDates: 26-31 July 2015Location: Holderness School\, Holderness\, NH\, USA \nMany of the most dynamic and intriguing chemical processes in the ocean occur at interfaces.  The rates and mechanisms of chemical reactions at interfaces can profoundly shape chemical oceanography\, whether those interfaces be large-scale spatial boundaries (such as between water masses\, biomes\, or at air-sea and land-sea interfaces)\, smaller-scale transitions (such as between zones of different redox state in the water column or sediments)\, or micro-scale boundaries (such as at the interface between plankton and their aquatic medium or between mineral surfaces and seawater). Intriguing shifts in ocean chemistry have also occurred at temporal boundaries between different climatic periods\, or between geological epochs.  Progress in chemical oceanography increasingly relies on melding tools and perspectives from different disciplines in order to generate new insights and deeper understanding of important oceanic processes and features.  Examples of disciplines across which chemical oceanographers work include biochemistry\, molecular biology\, geochemistry\, analytical chemistry\, materials science\, and chemical oceanography. This conference seeks to highlight how chemical oceanography bridges interfaces across space\, time\, and discipline\, and to highlight new approaches to current questions. \nIn addition\, for the first time since its inception\, the Gordon Research Conference (GRC) in Chemical Oceanography will be preceded by a 2-day GORDON RESEARCH SEMINAR (GRS)\, on JULY 25-26 AT THE SAME LOCATION.  Chaired by two recent postdoctoral scientists\, the GRS is a forum for postdocs and graduate students to interact with their peers in a GRC-type atmosphere\, where they can test their presentation and discussion skills in the absence of the more senior cadre.  In addition to organizing presentations and posters by students and postdocs\, the GRS chair and vice-chair will invite a keynote speaker to discuss professional development issues of concern to junior members of the field.  Coupling the GRS with the GRC will greatly amplify the educational and professional experience of the students/postdocs\, and will likely improve their ability to communicate their research at the subsequent GRC. \nDEADLINES: \n– GRS SPEAKER ABSTRACT DEADLINE: APRIL 25\, 2015 \n– GRS MEETING APPLICATION: JUNE 27\, 2015 \n– GRC MEETING APPLICATION: JUNE 28\, 2015 \nFor more information\, see:http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?id=11095http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?id=16980 \nYour meeting chairs: \nGRC: Kathleen Ruttenberg (kcr@hawaii.edu) and Karen Casciotti (kcasciot@stanford.edu)GRS: Angelos Hannides (hannides@hawaii.edu) and Jess Fitzsimmons (jessfitz@mit.edu)

SUMMARY:13th International Symposium on Estuarine Biogeochemistry - IEBS 2015
DESCRIPTION:13th International Symposium on Estuarine Biogeochemistry – IEBS 2015Dates: 7 – 10 June 2015Location: Bordeaux\, France \nFor further information: http://iebs2015.sciencesconf.org/ \nAbstract deadline: 15 February 2015 \nThe 2015 meeting is the 13th edition of the IEBS series focused on estuarine biogeochemical processes and covering the wide diversity of estuaries and bays in terms of morphology\, geographic position\, climate region\, and anthropogenic pressure. The objective is to identify\, understand and predict roles and responses of estuaries and bays in a context of forecast increasing population pressure on the global coastal zones. Contributions on reference (close-to-natural) and modified systems and approaches to estuary trajectories (“past-present-future”) are welcome. Specific items include\, but are not restricted to; sources\, behavior and fate of nutrients\, organic matter\, historical and emerging inorganic/organic contaminants\, nanoparticles\, etc.One session will be dedicated to new sensors and recent developments for permanent high-resolution monitoring of chemicals in coastal zones. \nTentative topics are: \n1)    Past\, present and future anthropogenic pressure – how do environmental changes affect nutrient and Organic Matter cycles\, eutrophication\, contaminant fate\, coastal ocean acidification and ecosystem functions \n2)    Physical and chemical factors influencing biogeochemistry and exchanges at estuarine boundaries (sediment-water-air\, urban areas\, subterranean estuaries) \n3)    New techniques and technologies for in-situ high-resolution monitoring in estuaries and bays
