SUMMARY:Third Xiamen Symposium on Marine Environmental Sciences (XMAS)
DESCRIPTION:Third Xiamen Symposium on Marine Environmental Sciences (XMAS)Dates: 9-11 January 2017 Location: Xiamen\, China \nFor further information: http://mel.xmu.edu.cn/conference/3xmas \n GEOTRACES Session: \nSpecial Session 4: Biogeochemical Cycling of Trace Elements in the Ocean: GEOTRACES and Beyond \nConveners: \nMartin Frank\, GEOMAR Helmholtz-Center for Ocean Research Kiel\, GermanyJing Zhang\, University of Toyama\, JapanZhimian Cao\, Xiamen University \nTrace elements in the ocean are critical for marine life serving as regulators of ocean biogeochemistry including marine ecosystem dynamics. However\, the mechanisms controlling the biogeochemical cycling of these elements and how they influence the functioning of ocean ecosystems remain elusive. The GEOTRACES program\, which aims to map the world’s oceans for trace elements and isotopes\, has facilitated rapid progress in this field enabling a coherent landscape of oceanic trace element cycling to emerge. This session seeks to bring together recent studies in the spirit of the GEOTRACES program. We invite abstracts on all aspects of oceanic dissolved and particulate trace element distributions and speciation\, as well as their isotopes\, including their application to reconstructing marine processes such as ocean circulation\, redox conditions and paleoproductivity. We also encourage submissions using lab culture experiments and modeling approaches to constrain the biological and chemical processes that determine the distributions of trace elements in seawater. \n

SUMMARY:Arctic-GEOTRACES Early Career Researcher Networking Event (ASLO 2017)
DESCRIPTION:Arctic-GEOTRACES Early Career Researcher Networking Event (ASLO 2017)Date: 26 February 2017 – 13h Location: ASLO 2017 Conference (Room: 305 A/B)\, Honolulu\, Hawaii \n \nOver the 2015 and 2016 field seasons\, the international GEOTRACES program undertook a coordinated effort to better understand the distribution\, biogeochemical cycling\, and climate sensitivity of trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) within the Arctic Ocean. Three successful cruises were carried out in 2015 by Canadian\, US\, and German programs\, with follow-up sampling in 2016 by the German team. This effort brought together cross-disciplinary researchers from more than 12 countries working not only in the field of trace metal geochemistry\, but also observationalists and modelers studying phytoplankton physiology\, air-sea gas fluxes\, carbon and nutrient cycling\, ocean mixing\, sea ice\, and rivers. As a result\, new data sets are emerging to expand our understanding of the TEIs that regulate\, or serve as tracers for\, critical biogeochemical and physical processes within the Arctic Ocean. \nMore than 75 Early Career Researchers (ECRs: students\, postdocs and early career scientists) participated in the three Arctic Ocean cruises carried out in 2015\, with many more on the sidelines processing samples\, interpreting observations\, and developing ocean models. The goal of this workshop will be to provide a networking event for Arctic GEOTRACES ECRs who will be attending the ASLO Aquatic Sciences meeting. This forum will provide a bridge to connect ECRs between programs and establish new connections for participants to carry forward into their future careers within the GEOTRACES community. \nIdeal audience: “Early Career” Arctic GEOTRACES program participants\, including graduate students\, postdocs\, and new faculty \nTo register: All participants should send an RSVP before 25th of January. The way to do this is by filling up the following link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D5a0lNLItm5x9X0bQMniutFEyOclUkxpspqb7ERb-8I/edit?usp=sharing \nAgenda (~3 hr Workshop): \n30 min (7-8 min each cruise): Introduction to each of the US\, Canadian\, German cruises\, and the focus\, cruise track\, and participants of each cruise \n30 min: 30 second introductions from each attendee about their role in the program (1 slide). \n60 min: breakout groups organized by theme/measurement type (to be decided). \n          * Goals of breakout groups: determine areas for collaborations\, emerging research themes\, future studies \n30 min: breakout group recap\, future plans \n30 min: Networking\, drinks and snacks! \nFor further information please contact: Kristina Brown (kbrown@whoi.edu)\, Randella Bundy (rbundy@whoi.edu) or Núria Casacuberta Arola (ncasacuberta@phys.ethz.ch).

SUMMARY:ASLO 2017\, Aquatic Sciences Meeting
DESCRIPTION:ASLO 2017\, Aquatic Sciences MeetingDates: 26 February – 3 March 2017Location: Honolulu\, Hawaii\, USA \nFor further information: http://www.sgmeet.com/aslo/honolulu2017/default.asp \n GEOTRACES sessions: \n004 – Biogeochemical Cycling of Trace Elements and Isotopes in the Arctic Ocean \nTrace elements can play a dual role in the ocean either as essential micronutrients (e.g.\, Co\, Fe\, Zn)\, or as toxicants (e.g.\, As\, Cu\, Hg)\, and can affect biological productivity\, carbon cycling and the emission of climatically important trace gases. In addition\, the distribution and isotopic composition of many trace elements and gases provide information on biogeochemical and physical processes. The Arctic Ocean\, in particular\, is undergoing rapid and profound transformation attributed to climate change. Easier access and accelerated resource exploitation are also expected in the coming years. It is therefore timely to examine more thoroughly the distribution and cycling of trace element and isotopes (TEI)\, and dissolved gases in the Arctic Ocean and to establish their potential role in controlling or recording rapidly changing oceanic processes. To that end\, after six years of collaborative planning\, the international GEOTRACES program undertook a coordinated study of TEIs\, dissolved gases\, and biological productivity in the Arctic in summer-fall 2015\, comprising three funded icebreaker programs from Germany\, Canada\, and the United States. This session seeks presentations on all aspects of this work and their relevance to Arctic Ocean processes from the GEOTRACES expeditions and other related field and laboratory efforts. \nORGANIZERS \nGreg Cutter\, Old Dominion University\, gcutter@odu.eduRoger Francois\, University of British Columbia\, rfrancoi@eos.ubc.caDavid Kadko\, Florida International University\, dkadko@fiu.eduWilliam Landing\, Florida State University\, wlanding@fsu.eduMichiel Rutgers Van der Loeff\, Alfred Wegener Institute\, Mloeff@awi.de \n  \n025 – Linking atmospheric deposition to the biogeochemistry of aquatic and marine systems \nAtmospheric deposition of lithogenic\, anthropogenic\, and marine aerosols is an important transport pathway for nutrients and contaminants to aquatic watersheds and the surface ocean. Constraining local\, regional\, and global atmospheric deposition fluxes and the bioavailability and toxicity of aerosol-sourced elements and compounds is essential to furthering understanding of global biogeochemical cycles. Aerosol emission\, transport\, and deposition processes are\, in part\, a function of changes in land use and anthropogenic emissions\, as well as short-term meteorological events and long-term climatic change on a global scale. Hence the study of system responses will improve our current understanding and facilitate the prediction of future impacts. This session invites contributions from studies of atmospheric deposition in marine and aquatic environments including\, but not limited to\, characterization of aerosol composition\, quantification of atmospheric deposition fluxes and aerosol fractional solubility\, assessment of the fate of aerosol-sourced compounds\, and the biological and chemical response to deposition. Contributions from global and regional scale field observations\, laboratory studies\, and modeling efforts are welcomed. \nORGANIZERS \nClifton Buck\, Skidaway Institute of Oceanography\, clifton.buck@skio.uga.eduRachel Shelley\, LEMAR-Universite de Bretagne Occidentale\, rachel.shelley@univ-brest.fr \n  \n029 – REE marine geochemistry in the 21st century: A tribute to the pioneering research of Henry Elderfield (1943-2016) \nHenry Elderfield had a long and multi-faceted career investigating the marine biogeochemistry of trace metals and his greatest accomplishment may be his groundbreaking measurements and interpretations of the oceanic distribution of rare earth elements (REEs). He helped revolutionize REE analysis of natural waters and produced some of the first vertical profiles in seawater by replacing painstaking chemical separations and neutron activation with isotope dilution mass spectrometry of 10 REEs together. In these days of automated in-line extraction and ICP-MS\, it is hard to recall the amount of time and effort involved in measuring picomolar REE concentrations just 30 years ago. To honor Henry’s memory we invite the next generation of aqueous geochemists to submit original work on REE cycling in the oceans. Our session will focus on the rapidly expanding dataset of REE concentrations and isotopic ratios from the GEOTRACES program and its use in the construction and testing of global marine mass balance and transport models. Studies of sources\, sinks\, and processes that create the boundary conditions for such modeling\, for instance particle scavenging and speciation\, hydrothermal and groundwater inputs\, and REE exchange in margin sediments\, estuaries\, and at the air-water interface are also welcome. \nORGANIZERS \nKaren H.

Three successful cruises were carried out in 2015 by Canadian\, US\, and German programs\, with follow-up sampling in 2016 by the German team. This effort brought together cross-disciplinary researchers from more than 12 countries working not only in the field of trace metal geochemistry\, but also observationalists and modelers studying phytoplankton physiology\, air-sea gas fluxes\, carbon and nutrient cycling\, ocean mixing\, sea ice\, and rivers. As a result\, new data sets are emerging to expand our understanding of the TEIs that regulate\, or serve as tracers for\, critical biogeochemical and physical processes within the Arctic Ocean. \nMore than 75 Early Career Researchers (ECRs: students\, postdocs and early career scientists) participated in the three Arctic Ocean cruises carried out in 2015\, with many more on the sidelines processing samples\, interpreting observations\, and developing ocean models. The goal of this workshop will be to provide a networking event for Arctic GEOTRACES ECRs who will be attending the ASLO Aquatic Sciences meeting. This forum will provide a bridge to connect ECRs between programs and establish new connections for participants to carry forward into their future careers within the GEOTRACES community. \nIdeal audience: “Early Career” Arctic GEOTRACES program participants\, including graduate students\, postdocs\, and new faculty \nTo register: All participants should send an RSVP before 25th of January. The way to do this is by filling up the following link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1D5a0lNLItm5x9X0bQMniutFEyOclUkxpspqb7ERb-8I/edit?usp=sharing \nAgenda (~3 hr Workshop): \n30 min (7-8 min each cruise): Introduction to each of the US\, Canadian\, German cruises\, and the focus\, cruise track\, and participants of each cruise \n30 min: 30 second introductions from each attendee about their role in the program (1 slide). \n60 min: breakout groups organized by theme/measurement type (to be decided). \n          * Goals of breakout groups: determine areas for collaborations\, emerging research themes\, future studies \n30 min: breakout group recap\, future plans \n30 min: Networking\, drinks and snacks!

SUMMARY:2017 PAGES Open Science Meeting
DESCRIPTION:2017 PAGES Open Science Meeting Dates: 9-13 May 2017Location: Zaragoza\, Spain \nFor further information: http://www.pages-osm.org \nGEOTRACES session: \n12. Trace elements and their isotopes as geochemical proxies of past ocean conditions \nCo-conveners: Catherine Jeandel (catherine.jeandel@legos.obs-mip.fr)\, Robert Anderson (boba@ldeo.columbia.edu)\, Susan Little (s.little@imperial.ac.uk)\, Thomas Marchitto (thomas.marchitto@colorado.edu) and Daniel Sigman (sigman@princeton.edu). \nTrace elements and their isotopes archived in marine sediments\, corals\, microfossils\, authigenic minerals and other media have been exploited widely to reconstruct past ocean conditions\, including\, but not limited to: temperature\, nutrient concentrations\, ocean circulation\, biological productivity and export production\, dissolved inorganic carbon system parameters\, and external sources of material to the ocean\, for example as dust or via boundary exchange. Despite this importance\, many proxies of necessity have been calibrated in a rather ad hoc way. Many calibrations use samples that do not necessarily represent modern conditions\, or they have been calibrated solely in the lab. Calibration is often empirical and based on only partial understanding of the processes that relate the measurable proxy to the environmental variable that it encodes. \nThere is therefore an urgent need for more thorough assessment of geochemical proxies to fully understand the uses and limitation of present proxies\, and to develop and reliably calibrate new proxies for environmental variables that are presently difficult to reconstruct. The wealth of new and high-resolution trace element and isotope data generated by GEOTRACES as well as by contemporary initiatives offers an unprecedented opportunity to assess our understanding of geochemical proxies. This session invites presentations that exploit modern ocean observations of trace elements and their isotopes to critically examine and improve the application of geochemical proxies of past ocean conditions. \nInvited Speakers: Chris Hayes (Univ. of Southern Mississippi)\, Tristan Horner (WHOI)\, Kazuyo Tachikawa (CEREGE) and Jimin Yu (Australian National University).

SUMMARY:IUPAC 2017 - World Chemistry Congress
DESCRIPTION:IUPAC 2017 – World Chemistry CongressDates: 9-14 July 2017Location: Sao Paulo\, BrazilFor further information: http://www.iupac2017.org/ \nAbstracts are due on January 8\, 2017 \nSession description: \nEnergy\, Water and Environmental Sciences (EE)http://www.iupac2017.org/symposia.php#ee \nNatural waters contain a large number of chemicals reflecting rapid global dissemination of novel substances\, including a full range of technology-critical elements (e.g.\, platinum group and rare earth elements) and emerging contaminants (e.g.\, PFAAs\, hormones and phthalates) employed to improve the production of energy and/or commodities\, especially due to the ever-expanding list of new technologies. The settlement of smart grids for electricity distribution together with the development of electric vehicles and renewable energy sources has enlarged a rising demand for advanced energy conversion and storage systems. Rechargeable batteries will continue to rely on Li-ion chemistry; however\, post Li-ion systems — such as Li-S\, Li-air\, Na-ion — are expected to reach the stage of devices. Also these developments are accompanied by the up growth of electrochemical capacitors\, fuel cells\, metal-air batteries. Solar cells\, biofuels\, water splitting\, hydrogen production and CO2 reduction are also important topics playing a leading role in the relation between energy and friendly environmental ways to assure a high efficiency of conversion and storage systems. To go further with sustainable technology\, the understanding of the fundamental concepts of materials properties and the interactions with their environment\, will be the key to find solutions which would satisfy the new society´s energy demands with a deep ecological concern. Therefore\, this symposium is devoted to recent progress in fundamental science related to rechargeable batteries and electrochemical capacitors\, fuel Cells\, metal-air batteries\, solar cells\, biofuels\, water splitting\, hydrogen production and CO2 reduction. Additionally\, this symposium will also focus on processes controlling the distribution\, fate\, bioavailability and environmental risks of technology-critical elements and emerging contaminants associated with the development of new products and technologies. \nSymposium Organizers: Roberto M. Torresi (IQ-University of São Paulo\, São Paulo\, Brazil – rtorresi@iq.usp.br) and Daniel Belanger (Département de chimie\, Faculté des Sciences\, University of Quebec\, Montreal\, Canada – belanger.daniel@uqam.ca).Co-organizer: Vanessa Hatje (CIEnAm- Universidade Federal da Bahia\, Bahia\, Brazil – vanessa@pq.cnpq.br) \nTopics \n5.7 Organic and inorganic contaminants in the environment: occurrence\, sources\, fate and impacts5.8 Trace elements cycling\, processes and fluxes across interfaces5.10 Environmental impact of emerging technologies (E-waste- an emerging global challenge and Global Environmental Challenges of Nanomaterials) \nConfirmed keynote speakers include: Antonio Cobelo\, Peter Croot\, Catherine Jeandel and Gideon Henderson \n

SUMMARY:2017 Gordon Research Conference on Chemical Oceanography
DESCRIPTION:2017 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Chemical OceanographyDates: 23-28 July 2017 Location: Colby Sawyer College\, New London\, NH \n There will also be a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) for graduate students and postdocs associated with the meeting. The GRS will be held at the same site July 22-23\, 2017. Please see their website for more information (https://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?id=16981). \nDeadlines: \n– GRS SPEAKER ABSTRACT DEADLINE: April 22\, 2017– GRS MEETING APPLICATION: June 24\, 2017– GRC MEETING APPLICATION: June 25\, 2017 \nFor more information\, and to submit your application\, see: \nGRC: https://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?id=11096GRS: https://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?id=16981 \n \n2017 GORDON RESEARCH CONFERENCE (GRC) ON CHEMICAL OCEANOGRAPHY \nSynthesizing Multifaceted Data in Chemical Oceanography \nJuly 23-28\, 2017\, Colby-Sawyer College\, New London\, NH \nChair: Karen Casciotti \nVice Chair: Mak Saito \nChemical Oceanography is a multidisciplinary science that integrates research across elements\, environments\, and platforms on a variety of space and time scales using a multitude of approaches. Themes highlighting the fundamentally interdisciplinary nature of the field have remained at the heart of the GRC in Chemical Oceanography for almost 50 years. The meeting in 2017 will advance these themes and highlight synthesis of multifaceted data in Chemical Oceanography. Highlights will include new methods of data collection\, visualization\, analysis\, and modeling that allow novel insights and connections to be made in all phases of interdisciplinary work. Synthesizing data on multiple elements\, with different chemical behaviors and controls allows us to understand key processes that the control the distributions of elements in seawater and marine sediments\, as well as to understand how shifts in those distributions may reflect changes at the processes level. New advances in integration of a wide array of measurements on a variety of space and time scales allow scaling from detailed regional studies to global processes in the past\, present\, and future ocean and create an integrative understanding of Chemical Oceanography whose whole is greater than the sum of its parts. \nThe biennial GRC in Chemical Oceanography seeks to spur discussion and synthesis of ideas at the leading edge of research within Chemical Oceanography\, with an emphasis on presentation of new\, unpublished data\, interpretations\, and ideas in a strictly ‘off the record’ format. All attendees are encouraged to present a poster on their work. \nNew this year\, we will offer a ‘Power Hour’ on Monday afternoon. This is an opportunity for attendees to get together in an informal setting to discuss the challenges facing women in science\, and to address those challenges through mentoring and open discussion. This discussion is open to all attendees. We are looking for volunteers to help moderate the discussion. If you are interested\, please contact the GRC Chair (kcasciotti@stanford.edu). \nPlease note that the GRC offers partial support for faculty from predominantly undergraduate institutions (PUI)\, researchers from developing nations (through the Carl Storm International Diversity Fellowship)\, and underrepresented minority participants who are US citizens or permanent residents and are attending a GRC or GRS for the first time through the Carl Storm Underrepresented Minority Fellowship Program. We encourage applicants who are eligible to contact the GRC Chair (kcasciotti@stanford.edu) for more information. \n2017 GORDON RESEARCH SEMINAR (GRS) ON CHEMICAL OCEANOGRAPHY \nHow Chemistry Gives Insight into Ocean Processes \nJuly 22-23\, 2017\, Colby-Sawyer College\, New London\, NH \nChairs: Claire Till and Hilary Palevsky \nThe Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Chemical Oceanography\, held in the two days immediately preceding the GRC\, is a unique forum for graduate students\, postdocs\, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting-edge ideas. The GRS aims to allow these early career scientists to present and discuss their research with their peers in a GRC-type atmosphere\, in the absence of the more senior cadre. The focus of this meeting is chemical tracers providing insight into oceanic processes. Tracers are widely used in both observational and experimental oceanography for exploring many types of processes; we hope that all scientists in chemical oceanography will be able to find this theme applicable to their work. In addition to oral and poster presentations by the early-career participants\, the GRS co-chairs have also invited a small panel of speakers to discuss career track and professional development topics pertinent 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. \nThe program for the GRS in Chemical Oceanography will be developed by inviting speakers and discussion leaders from abstracts submitted by April 22\, so we encourage all graduate students and postdocs planning to attend the GRS to submit an application by this deadline. Some funding will be available for graduate students and postdocs attending both the GRS and GRC. If the meeting cost is a barrier to your attendance\, please contact the chairs to request additional need-based support. \nChild and Family Care Resources: The Gordon Research Conferences (GRC) provides detailed information for each conference site on the GRC website. Although GRC does not directly provide child care services\, attendees are welcome to have guests (including spouses\, children\, nannies and babysitters) accompany them to the conference. GRC also offers an alternative off-site registration fee at all conferences to accommodate those with special family care needs (the off-site fee includes the conference and all meals but enables attendees to book their own accommodations). The GRC website includes information on nearby off-site accommodations and links to area organizations\, that can assist attendees with locating licensed child care providers and daycare services. Please note that Colby Sawyer College also offers a daily recreational camp for children (ages 6-12). \n

SUMMARY:Goldschmidt 2017
DESCRIPTION:Goldschmidt 2017Dates: 13 – 18 August 2017Location: Paris\, France \nFor further information: http://goldschmidt.info/2017/ \n GEOTRACES Event: \nPublic release of GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2017Wednesday\, 16 August 2017\, 12h45 – 14h15\, Room 252A/B (Palais des Congrés de Paris) \nBuilding on the success of its first intermediate data product\, released in 2014\, the GEOTRACES programme will deliver the next Intermediate Data Product (IDP2017) at the Goldschmidt Conference in Paris. GEOTRACES is an international study of the marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes. The IDP2017 presents a remarkable synthesis of data from the Atlantic Ocean and a more complete coverage of data from the Arctic\, Indian\, Pacific and Southern Oceans than was provided in IDP2014. Moreover\, it includes a larger range of biogeochemical parameters. \n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nGEOTRACES and GEOTRACES-relevant sessions: \n \n10i: Cycles of Trace Elements and Isotopes in the Ocean: GEOTRACES and Beyond Monday 14 August and Tuesday 15 August \nConvenors: Tim Conway\, Geraldine Sarthou\, Tianyu Chen\, Gregory de Souza\, Aridane G. González\, Kristen Buck\, Tina van de Flierdt\, Walter Geibert\, Zhimian Cao\, Catherine Jeandel\, Yves Plancherel\, Phoebe Lam \nTrace elements and their isotopes (TEIs) in the ocean are critical for marine life\, regulating ocean biogeochemistry and carbon cycling. TEI distributions also provide insight into ocean ventilation and circulation\, redox states\, productivity and hydrothermal inputs in the present and the past. The GEOTRACES program\, which aims to map the world’s oceans for TEIs\, has facilitated rapid progress\, enabling a coherent picture of TEI cycling to emerge. Accordingly\, in celebration of the launch of the GEOTRACES IDP 2017 at Goldschmidt\, this session aims to bring together studies addressing pressing questions in marine biogeochemistry. We invite submissions on a range of marine biogeochemical themes: (1) Comparing the distribution\, isotopic composition and speciation of the trace metals (Fe\, Zn\, Cd\, Ni\, Cu\, Ba) with the major nutrients (e.g. C\, N\, Si) in order to draw parallels and contrasts\, and especially to determine the role of the Southern Ocean in creating pre-formed signatures. (2) Investigating the oceanic distribution\, composition and interactions of TEI-binding organic ligands\, and their role in metal redox cycling\, distribution and speciation. (3) Investigating how interactions with oceanic boundaries (sediments\, hydrothermal vents\, atmosphere)\, (4) How abiotic/biotic internal cycling influences the distribution of oceanic TEIs\, and investigating TEIs which trace rates and particle scavenging. (5) Integrating multi-proxy GEOTRACES datasets including circulation tracers in order to address longstanding questions in biogeochemistry and paleooceanographic proxy calibrations. We encourage submissions with culture and modeling work to interpret TEI distributions\, as well as submissions combining interactions of different phases (e.g. particulate and dissolved) and multi-element datasets. \n10g: Submarine Groundwater Discharge: Forms\, Delivery\, Timing\, Processes\, Pathways and Scaling of Biogeochemical FluxesTuesday 15 August PM \nConvenors: Hans Dürr\, Nils Moosdorf\, Michael Böttcher\, Hannelore Waska\, Jing Zhang\, Walter Geibert \nSubmarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is now an established factor in marine budgets of nutrients as well as trace elements and their isotopes (TEIs). SGD can form subterranean estuaries (STE) where fresh meteoric groundwater mixes with seawater circulating in the sediment. Processes in the STE and at the sediment-water interface strongly influence the resulting net fluxes to the near-shore. The magnitude\, speciation and spatial variability of these diffuse biogeochemical inputs can have multiple impacts on biological activity in coastal environments and marginal seas\, many of which are considered key areas for regional GEOTRACES projects. However\, the temporal and spatial dynamics of processes determining SGD/STE biogeochemistry are poorly understood\, attempts of upscaling SGD for regional- to continental budgets have been difficult\, and lag behind the development of large-scale hydrogeological models of SGD. We invite contributions by geochemists\, hydrogeologists\, biologists and geophysicists related to: biogeochemistry (experimental and modeling) of SGD/STE from deep aquifers to the sediment-water interface with regards to distribution\, speciation and function of constituents; the dynamics of key biotic and abiotic processes in the STE; resulting net fluxes of SGD of nutrients\, micronutrients and tracers in the near-shore and in marginal seas; the behavior of particulates and their associated TEI distributions along coastal circulation and land-ocean gradients; approaches and strategies that connect multiple temporal and spatial scales. Studies related to regional anthropogenic effects and climate change are also welcome. We expect this session to facilitate joint investigations and cooperation of the regional terrestrial\, marine biogeochemical and ocean/environmental sciences community. \n10h: Non-Conventional Stable Isotopes in the Ocean: Novel Applications\, Technological Advances and Future Applications Wednesday 16 August PM and Thursday 17 AM \nConvenors: Horner Tristan\, Pearce Christopher\, Philip Pogge von Strandmann\, Kathleen Scheiderich\, Juan Carlos Silva-Tamayo \nThe past twenty years have seen an explosion of interest in using non-conventional stable isotope systems (‘non-CHONS’) to understand the relationships between—and temporal evolution of—the input\, internal cycling\, and output of chemical species from the ocean. These isotope systems have proved to be key tracers of Earth’s biogeochemical cycles\, and have provided important breakthroughs in our understanding of chemical fluxes across the major ocean boundaries (e.g. rivers\, atmosphere\, boundary exchange\, hydrothermal vents) as well as (bio)geochemical processes operating within the ocean (e.g. biological uptake and release\, speciation\, scavenging). This session invites contributions that offer novel perspectives using non-conventional isotope systems and the processes that control their cycling between Earth’s major reservoirs in modern and/or past settings. Submissions that present new analytical tools or experiment-based approaches for studying the mechanisms of elemental and isotope fractionation during mineral-fluid interactions\, redox transformations\, or biological cycling are strongly encouraged\, as are those that demonstrate how these techniques can be used to quantify the flux and internal cycling of chemical species in the ocean through time. We also welcome contributions that offer novel perspectives by synthesizing existing data into new conceptual models\, or use isotopic tracer-based approaches to aid constraint of the fluxes of other biogeochemically-cycled elements\, particularly those that integrate over a wide range of spatial and temporal scales. \n10m: Insights into Ocean Processes Through the Application of Radioactive Tracers Tuesday 15 August PM and Wednesday 16 August AM \nConvenors: Paul Morris\, Guizhi Wang\, Virginie Sanial \nThe use of radioactive tracers to investigate ocean processes is an increasingly mainstream component of the techniques available to marine chemists. This so-called “nuclear toolbox” has seen continued development\, from better sampling and measurement technology to smaller sample volumes\, which has opened new avenues of investigation for studying ocean processes. While many of these radioactive tracers occur naturally in the environment\, ocean scientists can also use radioactive tracers released through human activities via intentional releases and accidental events. These radioactive tracers can be applied to a range of time-scales in both local case studies and basin-scale investigations that target both boundary and open-ocean processes. This session welcomes submissions that use radioactive tracers as a primary tool to investigate: (1) fluxes of particulate matter and dissolved materials\, (2) water mass mixing and mixing rates\, (3) processes that occur at the ocean boundaries (including coastline\, seabed\, and surface)\, and (4) studies that attempt to constrain geochemical budgets. Contributions that address method development\, novel applications of well-established tracers to new systems\, transport and fates of anthropogenic radionuclides in the ocean\, and issues that arise from the inherent integrating properties of radioactive tracers are also welcomed. \n10n: Nutrient Biogeochemistry in the Ocean: Past\, Present and FutureWednesday 16 August \nConvenors: Scott Wankel\, Sinhué Torres-Valdés\, Kimberly Popendorf\, William Haskell\, Christian März\, Damien Cardinal\, Wiebke Mohr\, C. Mark Moore\, Francois Fripiat\, Xingchen Wang\, Jia-Zhong Zhang \nThe availability of nutrients\, specifically nitrogen (N)\, phosphorus (P) and silicon (Si)\, exerts strong control on net primary production in the oceans\, the efficiency of carbon export from the euphotic zone\, and even the composition of the atmosphere. While the cycling of these elements is intimately coupled\, each elemental cycle possesses distinct characteristics regarding oceanic sources and sinks\, modes of internal recycling\, residence times and bioavailability. Indeed\, dynamics of individual nutrients diverge in important ways\, leading to formation of distinct regimes in both modern and past ocean systems. For example\, our understanding of specific processes (such as N2 fixation) has greatly expanded over the past two decades including delineation of new habitats\, description of new organisms\, and identification of new lifestyles. Nevertheless\, the relative roles of specific groups in various regions of the ocean\, their spatial and temporal variability\, and factors influencing their activity and distribution remain unclear. Furthermore\, while clear changes are often observed in response to contemporary climate change (including ocean warming\, acidification and deoxygenation)\, responses to such alterations and consequences for ecosystem functioning are far from understood. This session brings together new analytical and modeling insights to marine environments advancing our fundamental understanding of nutrients and their importance to the Earth system of the past\, present and future. We encourage submissions highlighting novel approaches (especially application of natural abundance and tracer-level stable isotopes) and those dealing with inter-elemental (de)coupling\, multiple spatial scales (cells to oceans)\, and/or multiple temporal scales – from geologic past to the future. \n17g: Paleoceanographic and Paleoclimate proxies: Their standing on Elderfield’s proxy development CurveThursday 17 August \nConvenors: Marie-Laure Bagard\, Marie Boye\, Oscar Branson\, Sambuddha Misra\, Guillaume Paris\, Kauzyo Tachikawa \nGeochemical proxies are essential tools to understand the evolution of seawater chemistry\, climate of the past\, and cycling of material between the different surface and deep reservoirs of the planet. Professor Henry (Harry) Elderfield helped develop numerous chemical tracers in the sedimentary record of ocean circulation\, isotope systems and seawater chemistry and temperature\, deeply influencing our understanding of chemical oceanography\, atmospheric interactions\, paleoclimate\, and biomineralization. Harry noted that a proxy develops through phases of optimism\, to pessimism and eventually to realism as our understanding of the applicability and limitation of a proxy evolves – the infamous ‘Elderfield Curve’. We invite submissions that critically evaluate or apply new and established proxies of past-climate and seawater chemistry and redox state\, how they are influenced by processes such as diagenesis\, and consider or alter their position on the Elderfield Curve. Contributions are invited from studies that utilize new (e.g. U/Ca; Na/Ca; Li/Mg ∂7Li\, ∆47) and established (e.g. Mg/Ca; B/Ca; ∂11B\, ∂18O\, eNd\, uk’37\,) proxies for paleoclimate and paleoceanographic studies\, including proxies used for deep time reconstructions (e.g. Fe-speciation\, ∂98Mo\, ∂53Cr). The focus will be on studies that outline novel and multi-proxy applications from a range of sedimentary phases\, investigate the mechanisms behind them\, notably through laboratory experiments and modern observations (GEOTRACES\, porewaters\, continental input\,…) or highlight possible limitations of established ones. \n

SUMMARY:Public release of GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2017
DESCRIPTION:Public release of GEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product 2017Dates: 16 August 2017\, 12h45 – 14h15 (2017 Goldschmidt Conference)Location: Room 252A/B\, Palais des Congrés de Paris\, Paris\, France \nFor further information: http://goldschmidt.info/2017 \nBuilding on the success of its first intermediate data product\, released in 2014\, the GEOTRACES programme will deliver the next Intermediate Data Product (IDP2017) at the Goldschmidt Conference in Paris. GEOTRACES is an international study of the marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes. The IDP2017 presents a remarkable synthesis of data from the Atlantic Ocean and a more complete coverage of data from the Arctic\, Indian\, Pacific and Southern Oceans than was provided in IDP2014. Moreover\, it includes a larger range of biogeochemical parameters. \n \n  \n  \n  \n
