SUMMARY:Webinar: BioGeoSCAPES Program Launch
DESCRIPTION:The BioGeoSCAPES Community has reached an exciting milestone: the official program launch and endorsement by the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR) and the publication of the Science Plan [https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.23465636]. With this approval\, BioGeoSCAPES is now a SCOR Program. BioGeoSCAPES remains an open and welcoming community of interdisciplinary scientists\, and we encourage the community to share the Science Plan broadly with scientists and funding agencies that would like to engage in the program.  \n\n\n\nThe Science Plan contains an Introduction and Executive Summary\, as well as three chapters on the States\, Rates\, and Fates research themes that emerged from the Science Planning Workshop. The plan also includes an Implementation chapter authored by the International Implementation Committee\, and this committee has now transitioned to becoming the Scientific Steering Committee. Sixty-three authors contributed to the Science Plan\, and multiple rounds of internal and external SCOR review were conducted in the process of vetting this plan.  \n\n\n\nWe invite the community to join a BioGeoSCAPES webinar on November 10\, 2026\, offered in two sessions to accommodate as many time zones as possible: \n\n\n\n\nSession 1: 9:00–10:00 am ET – Register here\n\n\n\nSession 2: 8:00–9:00 pm ET – Register here\n\n\n\n\nEach session will provide an overview of the Science Plan\, recent activities\, and next steps\, including opportunities to join Standing Committees. Please attend whichever session works best for you.  \n\n\n\nA Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) page is also available on the website. \n\n\n\nCongratulations to the BioGeoSCAPES Community!!!

Plus\, an end-year special seminar around mid-December. \n\n\n\nSeminars will be held at either 09:00 CET/CEST or 15:00 CET/CEST\, depending on the speakers’ locations\, to facilitate participation across different regions. Each seminar will last about one hour. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPlatform: Zoom\n\n\n\nA single recurring link will be used for all seminars: click here to access the seminar.If needed\, you can also join manually using: Meeting ID: 636 5773 3493 / Passcode: 651026 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nUpcoming seminar:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDate/Time: November 24th\, 15:00 CETTopic: Sediment-Water Interface Processes & Boundary ExchangeModerator: Zhouling ZhangSpeakers: Florian Scholz (University of Hamburg\, Germany) & Rhiannon Jones (British Antarctic Survey\, UK) \n\n\n\nMore details will be available in due time.

SUMMARY:XMAS2027
DESCRIPTION:There will be two GEOTRACES related sessions/workshops at the forthcoming XMAS2027 meeting\, January 12 to 15\, 2027\, Xiamen (China). Abstracts can be submitted until 30 June 2026. Further details are available on the conference webpage: https://mel-xmas.net/index.html \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTrace metal biogeochemical cycles in the ocean (session) \n\n\n\nThe international GEOTRACES program and the development of trace metal clean analysis techniques has led to a revolution in our understanding of marine trace metal dynamics. The sources\, sinks and speciation of trace metals have been subject to intense study for several decades revealing the important roles of shelf sediments\, atmospheric deposition\, hydrothermal vents and the cryosphere as trace metal sources. Bioessential roles for micronutrients including iron\, manganese\, and cobalt in primary metabolism are well established. The importance of different biogenic\, authigenic and lithogenic particulate phases for controlling metal distributions is increasingly recognized. Unfortunately\, anthropogenic pollutants such as lead and mercury remain pervasive\, and climatic shifts in ocean temperature\, oxygen and pH are increasingly recognized as drivers of changing trace metal dynamics. Key questions in the context of climate change are how these physical drivers\, combined with changing source dynamics\, will affect the bioaccessibility of metals to marine biota. Understanding the role of trace metals in biogeochemical cycles is important to constrain the effects of climate change on the past\, present and future ocean system\, and to fully comprehend the implications of proposed ocean intervention schemes such as iron fertilization. We encourage submissions from interdisciplinary teams focusing on the sources\, sinks\, speciation and biological utilization of trace metal in marine systems worldwide. Studies that combine multiple methodological approaches or inter-regional comparisons to understand trace metal dynamics are especially welcomed. \n\n\n\nConveners \n\n\n\nRuifang Xie\, Shanghai Jiao Tong UniversityMark Moore\, University of SouthamptonLaramie Jensen\, Columbia UniversityMark Hopwood\, Southern University of Science and Technology \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA GEOTRACES synthesis workshop: Building data outcomes for the Pacific Ocean and its marginal seas (workshop) \n\n\n\nThe international GEOTRACES program has generated a wealth of knowledge on the biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes in the ocean. With this growing body of observations\, there is a compelling opportunity to move toward synthesizing GEOTRACES data and draw broader insights into the role of metal dynamics in ocean biogeochemistry\, for example through the GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2025 (IDP 2025). Here\, we take the Pacific Ocean and its marginal seas as a focus region\, offering diverse biogeochemical regimes and dataset with full potential to be realized through coordinated synthesis. To achieve this\, the workshop will feature invited talks in an extended format\, drawing on perspectives from field and laboratory observations and modeling to concrete proposals for synthesis outputs. Open discussion sessions and opportunities for networking will further support the collaborative exchange needed to turn this collective expertise into lasting scientific impact. \n\n\n\nYuping Guo\, GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research KielZanna Chase\, The University of TasmaniaYihua Cai\, Xiamen UniversityTe Liu\, University of Southampton
