SUMMARY:American Geophysical Union Fall 2012 Meeting
DESCRIPTION:American Geophysical Union Fall 2012 MeetingDates: 3-7 December 2012Location:  San Francisco\, California\, USA \nFor more information: http://fallmeeting.agu.org/2012/ \nGEOTRACES Relevant sessions: \n **OS013: Isotope Tracers in the 21st Century Ocean: New Results\, Interesting Challenges\, and Unique OpportunitiesConveners: Steven L Goldstein (Columbia University)\, Alison E Hartman (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory)\, Howie D Scher (University of South Carolina) and Torben Stichel (University of Hawaii at Manoa). \n Bioactive\, particle-reactive\, and provenance-sensitive elements with isotopic variability in seawater are widely used to trace present and past processes in the oceans. Current research efforts\, such as GEOTRACES\, are increasingly multi-proxy\, high resolution\, and require smaller samples due to recent advances in mass spectrometry. Together these advances provide unprecedented opportunities to address source-to-sink questions and integration of tracers of different processes. This session brings together groups with new results from isotope tracers (Th\, Pa\, Nd\, Hf\, Cd\, Fe\, etc.) in the hopes of revealing new developments in our understanding of chemical cycling of the oceans \n**OS036: Sources\, Sinks\, and Speciation of Marine Micronutrient Trace ElementsConveners: Jessica N Fitzsimmons (MIT) and Christopher T Hayes (Columbia University
) \nMarine primary production can be limited by the concentration of micronutrient trace metals such as Fe. Linking micronutrient supply to biology remains a challenge\, however\, because of a poor understanding of the marine distribution and cycling of these metals. The de-convolution of micronutrient biogeochemical cycles is aided by an investigation of their size partitioning/chemical speciation\, as well as the cycles of other metals (such as Al\, Th) that constrain individual parts of the micronutrient cycle. This session welcomes data from recent GEOTRACES cruises\, process studies\, or modeling efforts focused on understanding the distribution\, supply\, removal\, or chemical speciation of marine micronutrient trace elements.

SUMMARY:COST-GEOTRACES Voltammetry Workshop
DESCRIPTION:COST-GEOTRACES Voltammetry Workshop  Dates: 6-9 October 2012Location: Šibenik\, Croatia \nDownload the flyer. \nThe Report of the Workshop is available to download. \nAim   \nVoltammetric techniques have played an important and vital role in the development and maturation of chemical oceanography as a scientific field. International programs in the past\, from GEOSECS to JGOFS\, have helped expand the range of marine chemical applications for which voltammetry is applied and have led to a better understanding of the distribution\, speciation and biogeochemical cycling of the elements in the ocean. Now in the midst of the international GEOTRACES program it is a perfect opportunity to both look back at the achievements of voltammetric methods and to see into where future applications can contribute. \nThe workshop will be held in Šibenik\, Croatia\, in the frame of research activities at the Marine station Martinska\, Ruđer Bošković Institute\, from October 6th to October 9th 2012. \nOverview \nWorkshop topics: \n1) The application and usage of Voltammetry within GEOTRACES: Past\, present and future. \n2) Utilizing the ongoing lessons of GEOTRACES for developing intercalibration studies for voltammetric measurements in seawater. \n3) Development of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for data treatment and speciation calculations using voltammetry; including sampling and storage of samples; experimental design for speciation/complexation studies. \n4) Application of new types of sensors (e.g. solid electrodes\, micro electrodes) to work in GEOTRACES. \n5) Tips and tricks in voltammetry – a networking approach: Sharing experiences and ideas on voltammetry through GEOTRACES activities. \nOutputs: \nResearch Front in Environmental Chemistry (collection of papers arising from the workshop around a central theme). Contributions to SCOR WG139. \n  \nOrganizing Committee   \nDr. Peter Croot (Ireland)\, Dr. Antonio Cobelo Garcia (Spain)\, Dr. Cédric Garnier (France) and Dr. Dario Omanovic\, Dr. Ivanka Pizeta\, Dr. Irena Ciglenečki-Jušić from Rudjer Bošković (Croatia). \nAgenda   \nPlease click here to download the Agenda.   \nVenue   \nWorkshop and accommodation will take place in Hotel Jadran\, Šibenik\, Croatia. Accommodations expenses on the basis of three days full board are around 163 €. \nAbstract Collection   \nThe Abstract Collection is available to download.    \nParticipant List \nThe list of participants is available to download. \nReport \nThe Report of the Workshop is available to download. \nFunding   \nSome limited funding for participants is available. \n Contact   \nFor futher information\, please contact Dr. Irena Ciglenečki-Jušić; Dr. Dario Omanović; Dr. Ivanka Pižeta. \n    \n

Proxy development for paleoclimate and paleocean chemistry(co-hosted by Themes 10 and 13)Co-convenors: Ann Russell (University of California at Davis) – Pamela Martin (University of Chicago) – Bärbel Hönisch (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory)Development of geochemical proxies for reconstructing past climatic and ocean chemical conditions is a key component of paleoclimate and paleoceanographic research and essential for gleaning insight into the Earth’s future from its history. Archives of paleoenvironmental information include both biogenic and authigenic precipitates and isolating an environmental signal can be convoluted by post-depositional overgrowths. Covariation of environmental parameters can also make it difficult to calibrate the response of a proxy to a single environmental parameter. In deep time\, additional complications can arise when the possible controls over proxy relationships are less constrained and different_from_modern seawater chemistry may change proxy relationships from the conditions under which the proxy was calibrated.This session seeks to share progress on identifying the primary geochemical mechanisms and environmental controls over marine proxies\, as well as approaches and tools for addressing post- depositional alteration. We welcome contributions focused on the geochemistry of proxies from carbonates\, diatoms\, organic material\, as well as bulk sediments and authigenic precipitates. We encourage analytic method development and specifically contributions that go beyond empirical correlations between ocean parameters and proxy signals\, which may improve the quality of proxy applications by delving into the mechanistic basis for the relationship.Keynote speaker: TBA \n*10c. Past and future changes in ocean circulationCo-convenors: Eric Galbraith (GEOTOP-McGill University) – Laura Robinson (University of Bristol)Despite decades of research\, the large-scale drivers of deep-ocean circulation – and its susceptibility to change – remain poorly understood. Ocean mixing\, especially vertical mixing\, is of critical importance to this circulation\, but is difficult to observe in the modern ocean. Paleoceanographic records offer great potential in constraining past changes in ocean circulation\, which can help reveal natural variability of ocean mixing\, while ocean models can provide insight into mechanisms\, constrained by present-day observations. Together\, these approaches help to predict the biogeochemical impacts of future changes in ocean circulation. This session aims to bring together geochemical observations and theory that can shed light on ocean mixing and its impacts on ocean circulation\, and gas and nutrient cycling in the past\, present and future. We invite contributions that can constrain or quantify deep ocean circulation on any timescale\, and particularly encourage contributions that bear on vertical mixing in the ocean. We also welcome theoretical and modeling contributions that address the role of ocean circulation on biogeochemistry\, or that help to interpret geochemical observations.Keynote speaker: TBA \n*11a. Biogeochemical cycling of aerosols and their effects in the evolving Earth’s climate(co-hosted by Themes 11 and 10)Co-conveners: Nicholas Meskhidze (North Carolina State University) – Ina Tegen (Institute for Tropospheric Research\, Leipzig\, Germany)Climate projections remain an important scientific goal for the earth science community. A large fraction of the uncertainty in predicting climate change lies in the uncertainties associated with feedbacks in the carbon cycle and aerosol forcing. These feedbacks are the result of land-atmosphere-ocean natural and anthropogenic interactions. Understanding those interactions is of great importance for characterizing possible future changes in the evolving Earth. While aerosols are a source of micronutrients (iron\, phosphorus\, nitrogen) for the ecosystems\, the emission and transformation processes of many aerosols (e.g. desert dust or secondary organic aerosols of biogenic sources) can themselves be influenced by biogeochemical processes. We invite submissions on lab/field measurements\, remote sensing\, and modeling that lead to process-level understanding of biogeochemical land-atmosphere-ocean interactions. Interdisciplinary research on deposition of dust and volcanic particles\, heterogeneous chemical/photochemical transformation of aerosols\, and in-situ studies for the effects of aerosols on ocean/terrestrial biogeochemistry are welcome. The earth system models with aerosol deposition coupled to the land-ocean biogeochemistry are in their infancy. Until such models can reliably reproduce the effect of aerosol deposition on carbon cycle\, it will be problematic to estimate how changes in aerosol deposition over time might have affected the evolving climate of the Earth. \n*12b. Pa and Th distributions in the ocean: controlling mechanisms(co-hosted by Themes 12 and 13)Co-convenors: Abel Guihou (SUNY-Stony Brook) – Robert F Anderson (LDEO of Columbia University)231Pa and long-lived Th isotopes are naturally occurring radionuclides. Their potential to provide quantitative information of modern and past oceanographic processes (such as large scale ocean circulation and particle fluxes and dissolution) has been acknowledged for decades. However\, some uncertainties still remain regarding what actually controls their distribution in the ocean. This session invites contributions aimed to better understand these mechanisms such has new dissolved and particulate water column profiles\, new views on the distribution of these radionuclides onto particles from natural samples or from laboratory experiments as well as modeling studies.Keynote speaker: Michiel Rutgers van der Loeff (Alfred Wegener Institute for Polar and Marine Research) \n*12e. Present and past biogeochemical cycling of nutrients and metals in high latitude marine environments(co-hosted by Themes 12 and 16)Co-convenors: Dr. Laura Wehrmann (University of California Riverside\, USA) – Dr. Christian März (Newcastle University\, UK) This session targets the emerging field of biogeochemical research in Arctic and Antarctic environments\, with a focus on understanding the role of the high latitudes for global element cycles (C\, N\, P\, S\, Si\, transition metals) at present and in the past. We welcome contributions elucidating the cycling of these elements in the water column\, at the ice-sediment and sediment-water interface\, in shallow as well as in deeply buried marine sediments of high latitude environments. This session aims to gather scientists studying Arctic and Antarctic fjords\, estuaries and river mouths\, glacial and pro-glacial environments\, as well as associated continental shelves\, slopes\, and the deep oceans. Topics of particular interest include\, but are not limited to the (coupled) cycling of carbon\, sulphur\, phosphorus\, iron and manganese in Arctic and Antarctic sediments; the overprint of paleoclimate proxies by biogeochemical processes; the role of microbial processes in shaping the diagenetic characteristics of high latitude environments; biogeochemical interactions between glaciers and the coastal ocean; the role of high latitude environments for global biogeochemical cycles in the past. We especially encourage contributions that apply multidisciplinary approaches\, novel analytical techniques\, and computer modelling to natural samples and/or in laboratory experiments.Keynote speaker: Prof. Rob Raiswell (Emeritus)\, School of Earth and Environment\, University of Leeds\, UK \n*12g. Contribution of submarine groundwater discharge to oceanic chemical cycles(co-hosted by Themes 12 and 22)Co-convenors: Aaron Beck (Virginia Institute of Marine Science) – Richard Peterson (Coastal Carolina University)Submarine groundwater discharge (SGD) comprises all water transported by advection across the permeable sediment-water interface\, including both fresh groundwater and recirculated seawater. Biogeochemical reactions such as ion exchange\, dissolution and precipitation\, and metal redox cycling occur in the subsurface mixing zone of fresh and saline groundwaters (the “subterranean estuary”)\, resulting in brackish SGD that can be very different in composition from either of the original end-members. Further\, the advection of groundwater through the diagenetic zone can mobilize regenerated nutrients\, and serve as a transport pathway of these recycled nutrients back to the water column. A growing body of work demonstrates the importance of SGD and subterranean estuaries to marine budgets of nutrients\, radionuclides\, and trace elements. Understanding current SGD-driven chemical fluxes is critical for predicting how future changes in the hydrologic cycle\, coastal margins\, and anthropogenic factors may affect chemical cycling in the ocean. This session will explore the role of SGD and the subterranean estuary in controlling chemical fluxes between land and sea. We especially encourage studies that assess the ecological impact of these fluxes\, which is yet relatively unrepresented in this field. \n*13b. Geochemical proxies for past ocean circulationCo-convenors: Anton Eisenhauer (IFM-GEOMAR/Kiel) – Steven L. Goldstein (Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory) – Ralph Schneider (Universität Kiel) The ocean circulation is an important aspect for the marine trace metal and nutrient cycling for the Present and in the Past. In particular\, ocean circulation interferes with the global carbon cycle influencing atmospheric pCO2 as well as long and short term climate change. In order to better understand present and past biogeochemical cycles it is most important to document and understand ocean dynamics on all time scales. Past changes in ocean circulation can only be reconstructed from geological archives\, among others\, through the application and interpretation of geochemical proxies. This session invites contributions addressing new developments and findings\, both experimental and theoretical\, on the application of geochemical proxies\, trace elements and isotopes to reconstruct past ocean dynamics.Keynote speaker: Gerald H. Haug (ETH Zürich)  \n*13d. GEOTRACES\, the international science programCo-convenors: Géraldine Sarthou (Université de Brest) – Kazuyo Tachikawa (CEREGE\, France) – Tina van De Flierdt (Imperial College\, London)Many trace elements are critical for marine life\, and affect the functioning of ocean ecosystems. On the other hand\, some trace elements and isotopes are used to track modern ocean processes\, and if they are recorded faithfully in marine archives\, they are powerful indicators of past changes. International science program GEOTRACES aims at identifying processes\, quantifying fluxes and establishing the sensitivity of the distribution of key trace elements and isotopes. We invite contributions that focus on fluxes and processes at ocean interfaces\, internal cycle of the trace elements and isotopes\, and development of proxies for past changes\, based on experimental and/or modelling approaches. Results from the recent GEOTRACES cruise are particularly welcome. \n*17e.The application of synchrotron X-ray techniques to study marine biogeochemical cyclesCo-convenors: Phoebe J. Lam (Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution) – Brandy M. Toner ( University of Minnesota – Twin Cities) – Benjamin S. Twining (Bigelow Laboratory for Ocean Sciences)Synchrotron X-ray techniques in the soft\, “tender”\, and hard x-ray energy ranges are increasingly applied to address questions in marine science. Applications have included two- and three-dimensional element-specific imaging at nanometer to micron scales to determine cell quotas and elemental distributions and function\, and spectroscopic analyses to determine the speciation\, provenance\, and bioavailability of key nutrients such as phosphorus and iron. We invite abstracts from researchers who are already applying synchrotron techniques to marine problems\, as well as those whose work in other areas of Earth science might be applicable to topics in marine biogeochemical cycling. For example\, poorly understood processes such as scavenging of trace metals in the ocean might be informed by studies of complexation of surface-adsorbed species onto model minerals and microorganisms. Similarly\, mechanisms of elemental substitution in inorganic and biominerals may change the stability and thus biogeochemical role of these minerals in the oceans. We envision a session enabling cross-fertilization of ideas between laboratory and field researchers\, and biologists and geochemists.Keynote speaker: Jay Brandes (Skidaway Institute of Oceanography) \n

SUMMARY:US GEOTRACES Arctic implementation workshop
DESCRIPTION:US GEOTRACES Arctic implementation workshopDates: 12-15 June 2012Location: National Science Foundation\, US.   \nThe US Arctic Implementation Plan is available to download.  \nAnnouncement \n US GEOTRACES will hold a workshop to define the scientific objectives of a cruise in the western Arctic Ocean\, tentatively planned for late summer 2015.  Investigators interested in conducting research as part of this cruise are invited to attend the workshop\, which will take place 13-15 June 2012 at the National Science Foundation.  No prior involvement in GEOTRACES is necessary to participate in this workshop. \n A framework for planning this cruise is provided in two reports from previous Arctic GEOTRACES planning workshops\, posted online at: (http://www.geotraces.org/libraries/documents/Arctic_Report.pdf) and at (http://www.usgeotraces.com/documents/arcticDOC/ArcticWorkshopRpt.pdf) . \nThe purpose of this workshop is to refine the research objectives for the cruise and to devise a strategy to meet those objectives.  Members of the US GEOTRACES Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) will participate in the workshop.  They will synthesize results from the deliberations and prepare a set of priorities to guide the submission (tentatively 15 February 2014) and evaluation of proposals.  The overriding criterion for establishing priorities is the degree to which an activity will enable US scientists to achieve the goals of GEOTRACES as defined in the Science Plan (http://www.geotraces.org/science/science-plan). \nThe Science Plan defines a number of key TEIs that must be measured on every section.  It also identifies a number of complementary parameters that would be desirable.  These include other TEIs that are of interest in their own right\, for example in illuminating specific processes of interest\, or parameters that may be critical for interpreting the distributions of key TEIs (e.g.\, circulation tracers).  The SSC will consider these factors when establishing priorities for the section. \nIn preparation for the workshop\, the SSC requests that those interested in participating submit a brief (one page maximum) statement of interest by 6 April 2012. Statements should (a) define the nature of the work to be done on the cruise\, and (b) justify the work in terms of GEOTRACES objectives.  Statements can be emailed (preferably as Word documents) to geotraces@ldeo.columbia.edu>.  Statements will be posted on the US GEOTRACES web site unless the author requests that they be held in confidence. \nAlthough no prior involvement in GEOTRACES is necessary to participate in the Arctic section\, new investigators who have not participated in the GEOTRACES intercalibration exercise are obliged to follow the GEOTRACES policy for new investigators.  This involves analysis of GEOTRACES reference standards\, where applicable\, or collection of duplicate samples for analysis by labs that have already demonstrated acceptable performance in the GEOTRACES intercalibration.  This policy will be explained at the workshop. \nWorkshop travel expenses will be subsidized by the US GEOTRACES project office.  The project office budget will cover full travel expenses for approximately 45 participants.  However\, the SSC prefers to limit the level of travel reimbursement rather than limit the number of participants.  Therefore\, the level of reimbursement may have to be limited if the number of participants exceeds approximately 45. \n Questions about Arctic planning can be directed to David Kadko .  \nQuestions about US GEOTRACES travel can be directed to the US GEOTRACES Project Office at .

SUMMARY:An Interdisciplinary Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on the Arctic Ocean
DESCRIPTION:An Interdisciplinary Assessment of Climate Change Impacts on the Arctic OceanA Peter Wall Institute for Advanced Studies Exploratory WorkshopDates: 2-4 May 2012Location: University of British Columbia\, Vancouver BC \nFor further information: http://www.arctic-climate-change.pwias.ubc.ca/ \nThe Report of the Workshop is available to download. \nOverview \nThe effects of global warming are most obvious in the Arctic\, both on land and at sea. On land\, ice sheets and glaciers are melting\, permafrost is thawing\, the flow of rivers is increasing and their chemical composition is changing.  In the Arctic Ocean\, sea ice is receding and the hydrography\, circulation\, chemistry and ecosystems are changing rapidly. Locally\, these changes affect the livelihood of northern communities. Globally\, they affect climate as a result of altered greenhouse gas emissions\, ocean circulation and heat transport. As these perturbations accelerate\, there is an increasing sense of urgency to document their extent and to understand their consequences.  This exploratory workshop assembled a group of Canadian and international Arctic experts with various backgrounds to foster inter-disciplinary collaborations and to initiate a large-scale research program investigating the biological\, chemical and physical responses of the Arctic Ocean to climate changes.  \nAgenda \nThe Agenda of the Workshop is available to download. \nList of Participants \nThe List of Participants is available to download. \nReport \nThe Report of the Workshop is available to download.
