SUMMARY:Goldschmidt 2026
DESCRIPTION:Montréal\, CanadaWebsite: https://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2026/goldschmidt/2026/meetingapp.cgi \n\n\n\n\n\n**GEOTRACES sessions\n\n\n\nSession 12c – The Role of Boundaries Across Scales in Shaping Marine Trace Element Distributionshttps://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2026/meetingapp.cgi/Symposium/788TTrace elements and isotopes (TEIs) are essential in the ocean\, serving as micronutrients and tracers of marine biogeochemical processes. Their distributions are strongly influenced by boundaries – regions where physical\, chemical\, and biological gradients intersect to control redox states\, speciation\, and particle reactivity. This boundary concept encompasses large-scale interfaces (e.g. atmosphere-ocean\, seafloor-ocean\, land-ocean)\, and biogeochemical gradients\, including redox fronts\, Oxygen Minimum Zone (OMZ) – oxygenated transitions\, particle-seawater microenvironments\, and organism-associated microscale\, where intense exchange is mediated by chemical gradients and biological activity. At large-scale ocean interfaces\, inputs from natural and anthropogenic pathways\, rapid transformations (oxidation\, complexation\, adsorption)\, and burial occur\, thereby modulating oceanic TEI residence times. Within the water column\, sharp redox boundaries regulate the solubility\, mobility\, and bioavailability of several TEIs. At the microscale\, particle surfaces and organic exudates define reactive microenvironments that control adsorption-desorption dynamics and trace metal speciation. Additionally\, the boundary between seawater and microorganism cells control metabolic processes and the internal cycle of TEIs. Recognizing this spectrum of boundaries highlights the interconnected pathways shaping TEI distributions across spatial scales. Integrating processes from global interfaces to microscale gradients is thus essential for predicting how marine TEI cycling responds to climate change and anthropogenic perturbations. This session welcomes field observations\, laboratory experiments\, and modelling studies to gain further understanding of how different ocean “boundaries” control TEI distributions\, as well as studies focused on proxy development for constraining and reconstructing system behavior in both modern and paleo records. \n\n\n\nConveners:Zhouling Zhang\, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research KielNolwenn Lemaitre\, Laboratoire d’Etudes en Géophysique et Oceanographie SpatialesRyan Cloete\, Stellenbosch UniversityAnh Le-Duy Pham\, University of California\, Los AngelesWen-Hsuan Liao\, National Cheng Kung UniversityKassandra Costa\, Woods Hole Oceanographic InstitutionJennifer L Middleton\, Columbia UniversityFrank Pavia\, University of WashingtonKai Deng\, Tongji University \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSession 09k – Integrating Biological and Geochemical Perspectives on Trace Metal(loid) Transformations Across Ecosystemshttps://conf.goldschmidt.info/goldschmidt/2026/meetingapp.cgi/Symposium/881The biogeochemical cycling of trace metal(loid)s in both terrestrial and aquatic environments plays a central role in regulating ecosystem productivity\, elemental speciation\, and environmental health. Interactions among microbes\, minerals\, and dissolved species control the transformation\, bioavailability\, and isotopic signatures of key trace elements\, influencing complex biogeochemical feedbacks from local to global scales. Importantly\, trace metal(loid) transformations are tightly coupled to the cycling of carbon\, sulfur\, and other nutrients\, linking redox dynamics and microbial metabolism/detoxification processes to broader ecosystem function. This session unites studies that bridge biological and geochemical perspectives on trace metal(loid) cycling across redox gradients and physical scales—from laboratory experiments to field observations and modeling. We invite contributions examining mineral dissolution and precipitation\, redox transformations\, the formation of reactive organo-mineral complexes\, and methylation–demethylation reactions with a focus on elements including\, but not limited to\, mercury\, uranium\, arsenic\, selenium\, manganese\, and iron. We particularly welcome approaches integrating isotopic\, spectroscopic\, imaging\, -omics\, biosensor\, and modeling techniques to advance molecular understanding of trace element dynamics. By linking microbial and geochemical perspectives\, this session aims to provide new mechanistic insights into the speciation and environmental fate of trace metal(loid)s in societally important ecosystems including marine waters\, groundwater aquifers\, agricultural soils (such as rice paddies)\, and mining-impacted environments. \n\n\n\nConveners:Matthew Reid\, Cornell UniversityTim M.

SUMMARY:EGU General Assembly 2026
DESCRIPTION:Vienna\, Austria & Onlinehttps://www.egu26.eu/\n\n\n\nThe EGU General Assembly 2026 brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth\, planetary\, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists\, especially early career researchers\, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeadline for abstract submission is 15 January 2026\, 13:00 CET. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGEOTRACES relevant session:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChemical Processes in Coastal Oceans: Natural and Anthropogenic impacts on the biogeochemical processes \n\n\n\nConvener: Aridane González GonzálezCo-conveners: David González-Santana\, Melchor Gonzalez-Davila\, J. Magdalena Santana-Casiano \n\n\n\nCoastal oceans are dynamic interfaces between land and sea\, playing a critical role in global biogeochemical cycles with a high impact on socio-economic activities and social developments. The dynamic and physical processes as well as the human activities that take place in coastal areas make them natural laboratories to improve our knowledge about several biogeochemical interactions. In addition\, these regions are affected by both natural and anthropogenic factors such as coastal acidification\, organic matter\, nutrients\, and pollution\, among others. All these factors have impacts on the natural cycles and the magnitude of these impacts should be studied and understood in order to propose solutions to the decision makers that could help to know\, understand\, take decisions\, and protect or regulate the coastal environments. \n\n\n\nThis session aims to bring together researchers from diverse fields to discuss the latest findings on the biogeochemical processes occurring in coastal oceans\, improve our knowledge\, identify impacts\, and propose solutions in terms of coastal management and blue economy. We welcome research studies that focus on both natural and anthropogenic processes that are affecting the biogeochemical cycles in coastal waters\, trace metal chemistry\, CO2 system\, ocean acidification\, ocean alkalinization\, nutrient cycle\, organic matter\, CO2 sequestration\, blue carbon\, etc. \n\n\n\nTo submit an abstract please follow the instructions available here: https://www.egu26.eu/authors/how-to-submit.html

Inferring controlling processes from these data requires an understanding of how sources and sinks — whether in the open ocean or at its margins — interact with ocean circulation to produce observed distributions of dissolved species. In this talk\, I will give an overview of the diversity of approaches that have used conceptual and/or numerical models to synthesize observational data into an understanding of TEI cycling in the sea and at its interfaces. \n\n\n\n\n\nSenior scientistDr. Gregory De SouzaETH Zurich\, Switzerland\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMapping ocean trace metal distributions: A global data-driven view of lead and its isotopesDr. Arianna Olivelli (Flanders Marine Institute\, Belgium) – Early Career Scientist \n\n\n\nAbstract: Despite the rapid growth of GEOTRACES observations\, resolving large-scale distributions of trace metals remains challenging due to their sparse and heterogeneous coverage. In recent years\, machine learning (ML) techniques have offered new opportunities to advance data-driven oceanographic research at global and regional scales. In this talk\, I will present my work to develop the first global maps of lead (Pb) concentrations and isotope compositions from surface to depth using the tree-ensemble algorithm XGBoost and explainable ML tools. These maps provide an observation-based view of Pb distributions and variability that is difficult to achieve from measurements alone. I will discuss key methodological choices\, lessons learned\, and potential future applications of these maps. Additionally\, I will explore the use of different ML approaches for the synthesis and integration of in situ observations within the wider GEOTRACES context. \n\n\n\n\n\nEarly Career ScientistDr. Arianna OlivelliFlanders Marine Institute\, Belgium\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming seminars:\n\n\n\nMay 26\, 2026 @ 15:00 CESTTopic: Trace metal input in polar environmentsSpeakers: Jon Hawkings (University of Pennsylvania) & Laramie Jensen (Columbia University) \n\n\n\nJune 30\, 2026 @ 15:00 CESTTopic: Atmospheric aerosol deposition to the global oceanSpeakers: Clifton Buck (University of Georgia) & Prema Piyusha Panda (Stellenbosch University) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFurther seminars will be announced in due course.

Our understanding of the rates and mechanisms of trace element and isotope (TEI) input\, biogeochemical cycling\, and removal is improved by multi-tracer data from basin-wide research cruises\, data from more focused process studies\, and synthesis and modeling of these data. In addition to contributions in these topical areas\, we particularly encourage submissions that integrate multiple tracers or isotope systems to provide constraints on biogeochemical processes in the oceans and that highlight the benefits of multi-proxy approaches. \n\n\n\n\n\n*Coastal\, Shelf\, and Island Mass Effects on Trace Element Biogeochemistry in the OceanWednesday\, 25 February 2026\, 8h30 – 10h00 (local time)\, Hall 4\, eLightning Theater 2 (SEC) Poster session on Wednesday\, 25 February 2026 \n\n\n\nCo-convenersDavid González-Santana\, IOCAG Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran CanariaAridane G. González\, IOCAG. Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran CanariaEmilie Le Roy\, IUEM Institut Universitaire Européen de la MerGabriel Dulaquais\, IUEM Institut Universitaire Européen de la Mer \n\n\n\nDescriptionThe marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements\, their stable isotopes compositions and organic binding ligands are affected by the island mass effects. With terrigenous\, shelf and even glaciogenic inputs\, islands are natural laboratories for studying the importance of lateral fluxes of trace elements\, their impact on the physico-chemical processes and associated biological responses. This session aims to bring together researchers from diverse fields to discuss the latest findings on the biogeochemical processes occurring in the ocean and related to the island and shelf effects\, from the coast to the open ocean. The aim is to improve our knowledge\, identify biogeochemical impacts\, and characterise physico-chemical speciation of metals and redox chemistry. We welcome research studies and experiments focusing on processes affecting trace metal chemistry\, the nutrient cycle and organic ligands. \n\n\n\n\n\n*Mercury in Polar Waters: Sources\, Transformations\, and Bioaccumulation in Food WebsPoster session: Tuesday\, 24 February 2026\, 16:00 – 18:00 (local time)\, Hall 4 (Poster Hall) (SEC) \n\n\n\nCo-convenersEmily Seelen\, University of Alaska FairbanksMarissa Despins\, University of California Santa CruzStephen Kohler\, Norwegian University of Science and TechnologyMarissa Despins\, University of California Santa Cruz \n\n\n\nDescriptionHigh latitude environments are undergoing profound changes driven by climate warming. The impact of this change–sea ice loss\, permafrost thaw\, and shifting ocean circulation–is expected to alter the concentration and distribution of mercury (Hg) in polar marine waters. While models indicate that Hg concentrations will rise in the Arctic under current emission climate scenarios\, the processes influencing Hg mobility and speciation remain poorly understood\, especially in the Antarctic\, where data is even more limited. To accurately model the fate of Hg in a warming climate and risk for human exposure\, it is imperative that we understand the mechanisms governing Hg cycling\, particularly methylation and demethylation pathways\, which still remain elusive. This session invites contributions that explore the biogeochemical cycling of Hg in both the Arctic and Antarctic\, with a focus on the release and delivery of Hg species to coastal zones\, processes that influence Hg transformations\, and bioaccumulation in marine food webs. Interdisciplinary perspectives that incorporate Indigenous knowledge and community-based monitoring are also encouraged\, as are studies addressing the vulnerability of subsistence-dependent communities to changing Hg exposure. \n\n\n\n\n\n*Revising Ocean Silicon Cycle: Pathways\, Stoichiometry and Climate-Carbon Feedback in the AnthropocenePoster session: Monday\, 23 February 2026 \n\n\n\nCo-convenersDiksha SharmaHaimanti Biswas\, CSIR-National Institute of OceanographyDamien Cardinal\, Sorbonne UniversitéShaily Rahman\, University of Colorado Boulder \n\n\n\nDescriptionSilicon (Si)\, the second most abundant element in Earth’s crust\, is an essential nutrient for marine organisms (phytoplankton\, sponges\, radiolarians) and plays crucial roles in marine carbon cycling and ecosystems and\, atmospheric CO2 inventory. The ocean receives Si from different sources\, including continental erosion (riverine and groundwater discharge\, glacial meltwaters…)\, sedimentary recycling (reverse weathering\, diagenesis…)\, hydrothermal input\, and atmospheric deposition. However\, anthropogenic activities significantly alter Si supply to the ocean: damming restricts the riverine input of Si\, while climate-induced ocean stratification limits vertical mixing\, curtailing Si supply to surface waters. Contrarily\, increasing nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P) inputs to the coastal areas are disrupting the Redfieldian Si:N:P stoichiometry\, causing a regional shift from siliceous to non-siliceous species\, impacting carbon export and trophic dynamics. Understanding how climate-driven changes—such as enhanced weathering\, glacial melt\, dust input\, and deep-sea geochemical processes—reshape the marine Si cycle is critical for predicting shifts in elemental cycling\, phytoplankton community structure\, and carbon storage. This interdisciplinary session explores evolving Si fluxes across ocean’s interfaces and their biogeochemical impacts\, encouraging studies using isotopic tracers\, omics\, satellite products\, and coupled Earth system models\, to identify hidden fluxes\, feedbacks\, and vulnerabilities in the Si cycle under changing oceanic state. \n\n\n\n*BioGeoSCAPES: Querying the Ocean’s Microbial Life Support SystemTown Hall event: Wednesday\, 25 February 2026 \n\n\n\nDescription:Earth’s life support system is underpinned by the activity of marine microbes that mediate biogeochemical cycles. BioGeoSCAPES is a community-led international effort that aims to address fundamental gaps in the mechanistic understanding of how the ocean ensemble of microbes and their  biochemical reactions shape nutrient biogeochemical cycles and are in turn influenced by these cycles. BioGeoSCAPES involves multiple scales of study\, combining integrated biological and chemical sampling with analytical techniques\, computational biology and ocean modelling. The resulting scientific efforts will deliver a coordinated and improved understanding of the structure and function of our planet’s oceans. \n\n\n\nThe town hall will report on: 1) Progress in developing the BioGeoSCAPES Science Plan\, including the science themes and international implementation strategy. 2) Upcoming webinars\, workshops and BioGeosSCAPES-related research activities and 3) Education and training activities\, including the launch of two cohorts of a BioGeoSCAPES ECR Fellows program; upcoming\, webinars\, workshops and plans for a summer school. The town hall will disseminate information\, build community engagement\, and gather feedback on BioGeoSCAPES progress and plans. The target audience includes marine microbiologists\, biogeochemists\, physiologists\, trace metal chemists\, organic geochemists\, and global\, regional and process-based modellers\, including those using machine learning and bioinformatics. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n***SCOR Social Event***\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOpen to all!  \n\n\n\nRepresentatives from SCOR committees and activities as well as anyone–especially early-career scientists–interested in learning more about SCOR’s activities and opportunities are encouraged to attend to build connections across the community. \n\n\n\n\nDate & Time: Thursday\, 26 February\, 18:00-20:00 GMT\n\n\n\nLocation: Hotel Indigo Turbine 75 Bar\, 75 Waterloo St\n\n\n\nRSVPs are requested to best inform event arrangements. Register here.

This warm water also interacts with ice shelves\, influencing vertical mixing\, overturning rates and ice shelf mass loss\, and potentially triggering marine ice sheet instabilities. Warm shelf regions are undergoing rapid\, climate-sensitive changes\, which have important implications for ocean circulation\, biological production and biogeochemical exchange over spatial scales that may extend downstream to the Ross Sea and offshore waters of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current. For this interdisciplinary session\, we invite contributions that focus on both observational and modeling studies of ocean circulation\, sea ice-ocean and ice shelf-ocean interactions\, biogeochemical processes and biological production in Antarctic warm-shelf settings. We are especially interested in studies that explore links among these thematic topics. \n\n\n\nConveners: \n\n\n\nMadeline Mamer (Georgia Institute of Technology\, Student Convener)Kiya Riverman (University of Portland)Peter Sedwick (Old Dominion University)Robert Sherrell (Rutgers University)Andrew Thompson (Caltech) \n\n\n\nFull session details are here: https://agu.confex.com/agu/agu25/meetingapp.cgi/Session/272389 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n**Session A33A – Advances in Understanding Natural Aerosols and Gases in the Earth SystemWednesday\, 17 December 2025\, 14:15 – 15:45 (local time)\, 271 (NOLA CC) \n\n\n\nNatural aerosols and gases play a key role in the Earth System. They link terrestrial\, atmospheric\, and ocean processes and understanding changes in their emission and deposition is essential for assessing the climate response to human activities.

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:2025 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and Seminar (GRS) on Chemical Oceanography
DESCRIPTION:Location: Southern New Hampshire University\, Manchester\, New Hampshire\, United States\n\n\n\nGordon Research Conference (GRC) on Chemical Oceanography: Fingerprints in the Ocean\n\n\n\nThe Chemical Oceanography GRC is a premier\, international scientific conference focused on advancing the frontiers of science through the presentation of cutting-edge and unpublished research\, prioritizing time for discussion after each talk and fostering informal interactions among scientists of all career stages. The conference program includes a diverse range of speakers and discussion leaders from institutions and organizations worldwide\, concentrating on the latest developments in the field. The conference is five days long and held in a remote location to increase the sense of camaraderie and create scientific communities\, with lasting collaborations and friendships. In addition to premier talks\, the conference has designated time for poster sessions from individuals of all career stages\, and afternoon free time and communal meals allow for informal networking opportunities with leaders in the field. \n\n\n\nPhysical\, chemical\, biological\, and geological processes in the ocean leave chemical fingerprints. The discipline of chemical oceanography uses these fingerprints to understand important ocean processes. It both borrows from other fields to help in the interpretation of chemical data\, as well as offers insights into other fields allowing the inference of processes and mechanisms that may not be otherwise measurable. This Chemical Oceanography GRC will continue the tradition of presenting research at the cutting edge of this integrative field\, spanning orders of magnitude in time and spatial scales. The conference will bring together experimentalists\, observationalists\, and modellers who study the generation and interpretation of chemical fingerprints in the ocean and at its interfaces. \n\n\n\nApplications for this meeting must be submitted by June 22\, 2025. \n\n\n\nCheck the programme: https://www.grc.org/chemical-oceanography-conference/2025/ \n\n\n\nThis GRC will be held in conjunction with the “Chemical Oceanography” Gordon Research Seminar (GRS)\, see below. Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. \n\n\n\nGordon Research Seminar (GRS): Chemical Tracers in a Changing Ocean\n\n\n\nThe Chemical Oceanography GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work\, discuss new methods\, cutting edge ideas\, and pre-published data\, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators. \n\n\n\nApplication InstructionsThe seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 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. \n\n\n\nThe seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by April 13\, 2025. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate\, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Information section above. \n\n\n\nProgram FormatGordon Research Seminars are 2-day meetings which take place on the Saturday and Sunday just prior to the start of the associated GRC. The GRS opens with a 1-hour introductory session on Saturday afternoon\, followed by a poster session\, dinner and a 2-hour session in the evening. Sunday morning begins with breakfast and is followed by another 2-hour session\, a second poster session\, and lunch. A final 1-hour session takes place just after lunch\, and the associated GRC begins later that evening. \n\n\n\nApplicationsApplications for this meeting must be submitted by June 21\, 2025.

SUMMARY:Goldschmidt 2025
DESCRIPTION:Prague\, Czech Republic \n\n\n\nGoldschmidt is the foremost annual\, international conference on geochemistry and related subjects\, organized by the Geochemical Society and the European Association of Geochemistry. \n\n\n\nWe draw your attention to the following GEOTRACES sessions: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nList of GEOTRACES and GEOTRACES-related sessions:\n\n\n\n\n*12a – Elemental Enigmas: Cracking the Code of Trace Metals in Polar Oceans \n\n\n\nThe cycling of trace metals in polar oceans is crucial for understanding biogeochemical processes and ecosystem health in these sensitive environments. Trace metals such as Fe\, Zn\, Ni\, Mn\, and Co are essential micronutrients that regulate phytoplankton productivity across vast regions of the global ocean\, notably the Southern Ocean and Arctic\, significantly impacting carbon cycling between ocean and atmosphere. In contrast\, toxic elements such as Hg which is of special concern in Arctic\, are posing potential environmental risks. Polar regions act as critical zones for ocean-atmosphere interactions\, with trace metal inputs from sea ice\, icebergs\, weathering\, melting permafrost\, hydrothermal activity\, continental shelf sediments\, and atmospheric deposition altering primary production. Trace metal isotopes and other means such as rare earth element composition have revolutionized our ability to trace the sources\, pathways\, and biogeochemical processes of trace metals in the ocean. These tools allow us to distinguish external input and disentangle biogeochemical processes such as biological uptake\, particle‐solution exchange\, and remineralization\, and provide insights into past ocean conditions.However\, the remoteness\, extreme weather\, and technical challenges in clean sampling and trace metal analysis hinder our understanding of their cycling in the rapidly changing polar oceans. Enhancing our knowledge of these understudied regions is critical\, as polar seas and the cryosphere act as precursors for global changes in other ecosystems. To this end\, this session invites research integrating isotopic\, trace metal data\, and biogeochemical models to explore sources\, cycling\, and biological responses\, advancing predictions of polar ocean impacts on climate change. \n\n\n\nConveners: \n\n\n\nHung-An TianAlfred-Wegener-Institut Helmholtz-Zentrum für Polar- und Meeresforschung \n\n\n\nSaša MarcinekRuder Boskovic Institute \n\n\n\nRhiannon JonesBritish Antarctic Survey \n\n\n\n\n\n*12e – Tracing marine trace element dynamics: impact of external sources and oceanic cycling \n\n\n\nTrace elements and isotopes (TEIs) in the ocean play pivotal roles in primary productivity\, carbon cycling\, and marine biodiversity\, and serve as powerful tracers of oceanic processes. To reliably apply these geochemical proxies\, it is essential to develop a thorough understanding of the oceanic distribution of TEIs and physical and chemical processes that influence these patterns. The processes that influence the oceanic TEI distribution include inputs from various sources (e.g.\, river-estuarine\, atmospheric deposition\, submarine groundwater discharge\, hydrothermal inputs and marine benthic dynamics) and oceanic internal cycling (biological uptake and remineralization\, reversible scavenging\, particle-water interaction\, redox conditions\, and ocean circulation). Since the start of the GEOTRACES program\, observational TEI datasets have been rapidly accumulating\, providing valuable resources to the state-of-the-art ocean modeling tools to test hypotheses and predict distributions in regions that are still poorly constrained. This knowledge not only offers significant insights into the debate about the controls of modern ocean chemistry but also aids in resolving discrepancies arising from conflicting paleo-records of multiple geochemical proxies.This session invites contributions from observational\, experimental\, and modeling studies specifically focusing on (i) understanding the TEI distribution\, species\, and bio-availability in the ocean in connection to various sources and internal cycling\, (ii) the impact of processes at oceanic boundaries (atmosphere\, land\, shelf\, hydrothermal vents) on oceanic TEI distributions\, (iii) new insights into the processes of open ocean cycling\, (iv) application of AI/ML and other modeling techniques in assessing the marine TEI distribution. We encourage submissions based on multi-disciplinary and multi-proxy approaches. \n\n\n\nConveners: \n\n\n\nKai DengTongji University \n\n\n\nVineet GoswamiPhysical Research Laboratory \n\n\n\nAntao XuHeidelberg University \n\n\n\nSunil SinghCSIR-National Institute of Oceanography \n\n\n\n\n\n*12g – Seafloor hydrothermal processes and their impacts on the modern and ancient Earth \n\n\n\nSeafloor hydrothermal systems have profoundly influenced Earth’s biosphere\, lithosphere\, hydrosphere\, and atmosphere throughout Earth history and serve as crucial pathways for the transfer of materials and energy between the lithosphere and the exosphere (biosphere\, hydrosphere\, and atmosphere) today. Nonetheless\, hydrothermal systems’ nature within the oceanic crust drastically limits the temporal extent of direct geologic observations of their existence. Thus\, attempts to correlate seafloor hydrothermal processes with biological evolution\, global elemental budgets\, and global redox states throughout Earth history generally require interdisciplinary efforts that integrate studies of modern systems\, interpretations of the geologic record\, novel laboratory experiments\, and numerical models. Specific focuses could include the role of seafloor hydrothermalism in carbon and other elemental cycles\, studies of the linkages between high and low temperature hydrothermal alteration\, crustal mineralogy\, and seawater geochemistry\, and the relation between hydrothermal systems and the tempos and milestones of biological evolution. Submissions from early career researchers are especially welcome. \n\n\n\nConveners \n\n\n\nBenjamin M.

However\, reconstruction of deep-time climatic and environmental change from sedimentary records remains challenging. New tools are needed to investigate poorly known aspects of paleoenvironmental systems as well as to test interpretations made using established paleoenvironmental proxies.The scope of this theme session includes novel proxy development as well as new constraints on existing geochemical proxy records. Topics include\, but are not limited to\, proxy development and calibration in modern and ancient systems (e.g.\, GEOTRACES)\, experimental constraints\, data-model calibrations\, and novel proxy applications in the ancient sedimentary record. We especially encourage submissions with new and innovative insights regarding mechanisms\, feedbacks\, or quantitative thresholds driving ancient geochemical perturbations and their relationship with environmental\, climatic\, and biological evolution. \n\n\n\nConveners \n\n\n\nJun ShenChina University of Geosciences\, Wuhan \n\n\n\nThomas J.

SUMMARY:GEOTRACES Synthesis Preparation Workshop - Hybrid format
DESCRIPTION:Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg\, Institute for Advanced Study (HWK)\, Delmenhorst (Germany) and online\n\n\n\nThe originally anticipated full-week synthesis workshop in Delmenhorst cannot take place\, but the reserved meeting place\, back to back with the subsequent Goldschmidt conference in Prague\, offers a unique and timely opportunity to prepare synthesis activities and to explore funding opportunities and partner networks. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMuch has been learned and accomplished since the launch of GEOTRACES in 2010\, but more can be revealed by combining results and exploring different approaches to synthesize data. Since the GEOTRACES Science Plan was originally developed\, new tools for synthesis\, outreach\, collaboration and societal impact have become available- in addition to the anticipated tools like workshops\, modelling and publication in manuscripts and databases. The GEOTRACES Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) has sharpened its ideas regarding synthesis and formulated recommendations\, which wait to be implemented. At the same time\, funding of future activities for GEOTRACES is essential now to keep the momentum and realize the potential impact of the new wealth of knowledge on trace elements and their isotopes. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGiven this background\, the aims of our two-day workshop are two-fold: \n\n\n\n\nWe would like to take this opportunity to explore and compile the various aspects of synthesis including novel approaches\, based on existing SSC recommendations and beyond. Based on these aspects\, we will form one or several groups of authors/contributors. The aim for this group is to provide a synthesis preparation document draft that can be circulated to the SSC\, and that can be approved or modified during the annual SSC meeting in Goa later this year. Eventually\, this document is supposed to be published and might form a key resource for planning coming synthesis activities.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe conceptualization of coming synthesis activities -including outreach\, societal impact and filling in research gaps in future research- is tightly linked to possible proposals for funding. During our workshop\, participants can present promising funding opportunities for GEOTRACES research\, identify possible partners and start building consortia- to be continued during the following week in Prague.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nProgramme\n\n\n\nThe programme is available to download here. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre-registration\n\n\n\nPre-registration closed on 15 May 2025. \n\n\n\nThe total number of participants is limited to 55 as follows: 25 in person and 30 online. Participants must indicate the type of participation they wish in the pre-registration form. \n\n\n\nIf necessary\, the planning committee will select participants based on the motivation statement and potential contributions reported in the pre-registration form. Early Career Scientists are strongly encouraged to apply. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegistration fee\n\n\n\nWe expect to cover the registration fee for the site\, thanks to generous support by the sponsors\, coffee and light lunch would be included. Participants will need to cover their travel and accommodation costs (69 € per night incl. breakfast). \n\n\n\nLimited travel subsidies may be available for early career researchers and invited participants. Please indicate your need in the pre-registration form. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVenue and accommodation\n\n\n\nThe workshop will take place at Hanse-Wissenschaftskolleg\, Institute for Advanced Study (HWK)\, Lehmkuhlenbusch 4\, 27753 Delmenhorst\, Germany\, website: https://hanse-ias.de/en/ \n\n\n\nAccommodation can be booked for all onsite participants at the City Hotel Delmenhorst \n\n\n\nSelected participants will need to register through the HWK website to book their accommodation. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTravel\n\n\n\nHow to arrive to the venue: https://hanse-ias.de/en/directions-conference-hwkaccomm \n\n\n\nTravel can be easily combined with Travel to the Goldschmidt conference in Prague (Night train Bremen- Prague Sat/Sun currently 33 Euro). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDeadlines\n\n\n\nDeadline for pre-registration is 15 May 2025. \n\n\n\nSelected participants will be communicated by 26 of May 2025. \n\n\n\nDeadline to register will be 7 June 2025. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlanning Committee\n\n\n\nWalter Geibert\, Alfred Wagener Institute\, Germany (host) \n\n\n\nElena Masferrer\, GEOTRACES International Project Office\, France \n\n\n\nLise Artigue\, in between postdocs\, France \n\n\n\nJianghui Du\, Peking University\, China \n\n\n\nDavid González Santana\, Universidad de Las Palmas de Gran Canaria\, Spain \n\n\n\nCatherine Jeandel\, LEGOS\, Université de Toulouse\, France \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContacts\n\n\n\nWalter Geibert  \n\n\n\nElena Masferrer  \n\n\n\nDoris Meyerdierks (for questions about HWK venue and accommodation) \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSponsors

SUMMARY:EGU General Assembly 2025
DESCRIPTION:Vienna\, Austria & Online\n\n\n\nThe EGU General Assembly 2025 brings together geoscientists from all over the world to one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth\, planetary\, and space sciences. The EGU aims to provide a forum where scientists\, especially early career researchers\, can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geoscience. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nGEOTRACES relevant session:\n\n\n\nChemical Processes in Coastal Oceans: Natural and Anthropogenic impacts on the biogeochemical processes \n\n\n\nConvener: Aridane González González | Co-conveners: David González-Santana\, J. Magdalena Santana-Casiano\, Melchor Gonzalez-Davila \n\n\n\nCoastal oceans are dynamic interfaces between land and sea\, playing a critical role in global biogeochemical cycles with a high impact on socio-economic activities and social developments. The dynamic and physical processes as well as the human activities that take place in coastal areas make them natural laboratories to improve our knowledge about several biogeochemical interactions. In addition\, these regions are affected by both natural and anthropogenic factors such as coastal acidification\, organic matter\, nutrients\, and pollution\, among others. All these factors have impacts on the natural cycles and the magnitude of these impacts should be studied and understood in order to propose solutions to the decision makers that could help to know\, understand\, take decisions\, and protect or regulate the coastal environments. \n\n\n\nThis session aims to bring together researchers from diverse fields to discuss the latest findings on the biogeochemical processes occurring in coastal oceans\, improve our knowledge\, identify impacts\, and propose solutions. We welcome research studies that focus on both natural and anthropogenic processes that are affecting the trace metal chemistry\, CO2 system\, ocean acidification\, nutrient cycle\, organic matter\, CO2 sequestration and their impacts on the chemical processes\, etc. \n\n\n\nShare:https://meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU25/session/52604

SUMMARY:AGU2024 Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Washington\, DC. USA and online.https://www.agu.org/annual-meeting \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat’s Next for Science \n\n\n\nEach year\, AGU’s annual meeting\, the largest gathering of Earth and space scientists\, convenes 25\,000+ attendees from 100+ countries to share research and connect with friends and colleagues. Scientists\, educators\, policymakers\, journalists and communicators attend AGU24 to better understand our planet and environment\, opening pathways to discovery\, opening greater awareness to address climate change\, opening greater collaborations to lead to solutions and opening the fields and professions of science to a whole new age of justice equity\, diversity\, inclusion and belonging. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFind below the information on two GEOTRACES sessions and a related event at AGU2024: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nGEOTRACES sessions:\n\n\n\n*OS23H – Trace Element Distributions and Cycling Across Ocean Basinshttps://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/meetingapp.cgi/Session/236929Tuesday\, 10 December 2024Marine trace elements and their isotopes regulate primary production and provide tracers of past and present oceanic processes\, including circulation and particle export. The influence of trace elements on productivity and the ocean carbon cycle is particularly notable in the remote Southern Ocean\, where distant or ice-covered continents provide reduced inputs and water mass circulation impacts global transfer of heat and nutrients. A number of recent expeditions have sampled these waters\, providing new data on tracing external elemental fluxes to the region\, constraining complex biogeochemical processes\, and measuring their imprint on subsurface water masses. This session invites presentations addressing the sources\, sinks\, and cycling of trace elements in the ocean\, particularly as studied using ocean basin sections. Results from fieldwork and/or modeling studies in the Southern Ocean\, Antarctic Circumpolar Current\, and Antarctic coastal waters are particularly encouraged\, though results from all ocean basins are welcome.Primary ConvenerBenjamin S Twining\, Bigelow Lab for Ocean SciencesConvenersJessica N Fitzsimmons\, Texas A&M University College StationGregory A Cutter\, Old Dominion University \n\n\n\n\n*OS41H – Disentangling Hydrothermal Impacts on Ocean Biogeochemistryhttps://agu.confex.com/agu/agu24/meetingapp.cgi/Session/237098Thursday\, 12 December 2024 \n\n\n\n\nExciting new research reveals the significant impact of submarine hydrothermal venting on ocean biogeochemistry at both basin and global scales. Understanding this impact requires examining processes across various scales and integrating multiple disciplines\, including observations\, experiments\, data synthesis\, and modeling. This session invites submissions on hydrothermal biogeochemistry research across all venting styles and scales. It aims to connect drivers of hydrothermal processes from marine geoscience\, organic geochemistry\, ocean circulation\, carbon and biogeochemical cycles\, and marine microbiology. We especially welcome contributions from international programs like GEOTRACES and InterRidge\, and novel research on diverse seafloor fluid flow systems worldwide\, such as mid-ocean ridges\, intraplate seamounts\, convergent margins\, and transform faults. Field\, laboratory\, and theoretical studies on the roles of hydrothermal systems in the cycling and transformation of organic matter and nutrients in the oceans are also encouraged.Primary ConvenerChristopher R German\, WHOIConvenersChristopher R German\, WHOIRandelle M Bundy\, University of Washington Seattle CampusAlessandro Tagliabue\, University of LiverpoolStudent/Early Career ConvenerAlexandria Aspin\, Oakland University \n\n\n\n\n\nRelated event that the organisers asked the IPO to share:\n\n\n\nCommunity Meeting – UNOLS Arctic Marine Research Capabilities Committee (AMRCC)December 10\, 202412:30-13:30Westin DC Downtown\, 9th St NW\, Washington\, DCThe AMRCC is a UNOLS Special Committee established in June 2024 by the UNOLS Chair and Council at the request of the NSF\, ONR\, and USARC. The purpose of the Committee is to reviewand refresh science missions and affiliated science mission requirements (SMRs) of future Federal icebreakers operating in the Arctic Ocean and other northern polar regions. To do so\, the Committee is assessing if the existing science missions and SMRs for such missions meet current and emerging needs for Arctic research on Federal icebreakers and is identifying any additional SMRs required to ensure that Federal icebreakers will meet the needs of the Arctic marine research community for the next 30 years. Specifically\, the Committee is reviewing and refreshing SMRs for (a) any commercially available polar icebreaker that may be acquired or procured and refit for operation by the Federal government; and (b) the conceptual design of future “medium” or “heavy” Federal-flagged and owned icebreakers.At this meeting\, Committee members will review the charge to the Committee and the Committee’s activities to date and will welcome comments and input on envisioned science directions and research cruises in the Arctic Ocean for the next 30 years\, on existing and future gaps in our ability to address these questions\, and on critically needed science enabling capabilities of federal vessels in the Arctic Ocean.Please contact Carin Ashjian (cashjian@whoi.edu)\, AMRCC Chair\, or Doug Russell (doug@unols.org)\, UNOLS Executive Secretary\, with any questions. The Westin DC Downtown is an ~5-minute walk from the Convention Center.See: https://www.unols.org/committee/special-committee-arctic-marine-research-capabilities-committee-amrcc for more information on the Committee.
