SUMMARY:U.S. GEOTRACES Pacific Workshop
DESCRIPTION:U.S. GEOTRACES Pacific WorkshopDates: 12-14 September 2011Location: Scripps Institution of Oceanography – La Jolla\, CA – U.S. \nWebsite of the Workshop: www.usgeotraces.org/html/WS_Pacific2011.html \nOverview \nUS GEOTRACES will hold a workshop to refine the scientific objectives of a section between Peru and Tahiti (GP16)\, tentatively planned for Fall 2013. Investigators interested in conducting research as part of this section are invited to attend the workshop. No prior involvement in GEOTRACES is necessary to participate in this workshop. \nThe principal scientific objectives underpinning the Peru-Tahiti section include: \n1) Compare and contrast the distributions of trace elements and their isotopes (TEIs) within the high productivity regime of the Peru upwelling system (processes such as micronutrient supply and boundary scavenging) with those characteristic of oligotrophic regimes offshore;2) Evaluate the mobilization (or sequestration) of TEIs by processes associated with the intense oxygen minimum zone;3) Characterize the distribution and speciation of trace elements surrounding zones of intense denitrification; and4) Quantify sources and sinks of TEIs in hydrothermal plumes derived from the East Pacific Rise. \nAdditional rationale and motivation for this section are described in an Implementation Plan posted online. \nThe purpose of this workshop is to refine the research objectives for the section 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 2012) 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. \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 1 July 2011. \nStatements should (a) define the nature of the work to be done on the section\, and (b) justify the work in terms of GEOTRACES objectives. Statements can be emailed (preferably as Word documents) to US GEOTRACES project office.  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 Pacific 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 35 to 40 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 40.

DESCRIPTION:Asia-Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) Meeting 2011Dates: 8-12 August 2011Location: Taipei – Taiwan \nFor more information: http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2011/ \nAbstract submission is closed. \nRelevant Sessions: \nSession 1 details (OS09) Section OS – Ocean Sciences Session Title: Geochemical and Isotopic Proxies Deciphering Past Environmental and Oceanographic Changes \nMain Convener(s): Dr. Selvaraj Kandasamy (Academia Sinica\, Taiwan). \nCo-convener(s): Dr. Nagender Nath Bejugam (National Institute of Oceanography\, India). Dr. Madhavaraju Jayagopal (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico\, Mexico). Dr. Shuh-Ji Kao (Academia Sinica\, Taiwan ). \nSession Description \nEarth System Scientists and Marine Geochemists are interested in reconstructing the past environmental and oceanographic changes over the orbital to millennial timescales by using solid-phase geochemical proxies. Geochemical proxy data for paleoenvironmental and paleoceanographic changes could have large uncertainties\, and thus this decade has witnessed the invention of several new proxies\, catalyzing a renaissance of sediment geochemical research especially from South and East Asian regions. This session focuses on the advances made in using elemental and isotopic proxies for the past environmental and oceanographic changes in the low- and mid-latitude regions. We welcome contributions related to the critical evaluation of climate-environmental-specific proxies in modern and ancient terrestrial\, lacustrine and oceanic environmental settings. \n  \nSession 2 DetailsSectionIWG – Interdisciplinary Working Groups Session Title: Weathering Studies in Asia: Geochemical and Clay Mineralogical Constraints from Modern and Ancient Sediments  \nMain Convener(s): Dr. Nagender Nath Bejugam (National Institute of Oceanography\, India). \nCo-convener(s): Dr. Selvaraj Kandasamy (Academia Sinica\, Taiwan). Dr. Madhavaraju Jayagopal (Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico\, Mexico). \nSession Description \nThe Earth’s Critical Zone and associated terrestrial life is governing by two interdependent surface processes\, namely erosion and weathering. A combination of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and continental weathering intensity controls the Earth’s climate on glacial-interglacial timescales. Recent chemical weathering investigations from East Asia \, although only a few\, reveal a wide range of chemical weathering conditions that were not previously known. Given the importance of diverse climatic and tectonic regimes in Asia \, this session explores the recent advances in chemical weathering using geochemical and clay mineralogical studies of river\, lake and ocean sediments\, including sedimentary rocks. Chemical weathering studies from oceanic islands\, in-land lake systems and comparison between large and small river systems in Asia are most welcome. This session further evaluates the unexplored potential geographical regions for future investigations.

SUMMARY:ASLO 2011\, Aquatic Sciences Meeting
DESCRIPTION:ASLO 2011\, Aquatic Sciences MeetingDates: 13-18 February 2011Location: Puerto Rico \nFor more information: http://www.aslo.org/meetings/sanjuan2011/ \n\nRelevant Sessions:  \n*GSO2: Chemical Oceanography/GEOTRACESPresentations available at: https://www.sgmeet.com/aslo/sanjuan2011/sessionschedule.asp?SessionID=GS02 \nConveners: Greg Cutter\, Old Dominion University and Pere Masqué\, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona \n*S87: Trace Metals and their Nutritional Importance to Marine Phytoplankton and BacteriaPresentations available at: http://www.sgmeet.com/aslo/sanjuan2011/sessionschedule.asp?SessionID=S87 \nConveners: Mak Saito\, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution; Pete Sedwick\, Old Dominion University. \nThe past few decades have seen a growing appreciation of the vital role of micronutrient trace metals in the ocean carbon cycle. With the launch of the international GEOTRACES program and the rapid development of molecular techniques\, now is an opportune time to strengthen linkages between the geochemists and biologists who focus on trace metals and metalloproteins in the ocean. For this session\, we invite presentations on geochemical\, physiological\, biochemical and modeling studies that address the complex interactions between trace micronutrients and marine microbiota on scales ranging from global to molecular. \n*Town Hall Meeting: Microbial Biogeography and Biogeochemistry   \nConveners:  Eric Webb\, University of Southern California and Ben Van Mooy\, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution. \n An Ocean Carbon and Biogeochemistry (OCB) Scoping Workshop chaired by Jim Moffett and Eric Webb (University of Southern California) was held in Los Angeles in November 2010 entitled “The Molecular Biology of Biogeochemistry.” The goal of this workshop was to assess the potential role of molecular biology to study marine biogeochemical cycles\, particularly the carbon cycle\, via large survey programs such as GEOTRACES.  Rapid advances in molecular methods are providing new tools applicable to global surveys and other observational programs focused on the oceans’ response to changing climate and other impacts.   However\, molecular biologists generally examine ecological problems like community diversity\, whereas geochemists are more interested in functionality and rates.  Here\, geochemists and molecular biologists sought common ground to identify which molecular biological measurements would be most useful for understanding marine biogeochemical cycles and characterizing their response to climate change. \n Workshop participants were enthusiastic about the integration of geochemical and marine biological tools in existing large survey programs but recognized the need for a new\, stand-alone field campaign to characterize the biogeography of marine microbial communities that will complement the existing global survey and observational programs.  The new program will characterize the distribution of microbial communities within the ocean on complete surface to bottom sections and couple these data with important geochemical measurements and rate measurements of key processes.    Such a program was seen as essential to achieve the core science objectives in biogeochemistry that was the charge of the workshop.  A stand-alone program is desirable for logistical and science reasons\, but the core parameters in GEOTRACES are highly complementary.  Therefore\, a plan was outlined for a sectional survey cruise in Fall 2013 concurrently or back to back with a proposed GEOTRACES zonal section in the eastern tropical South Pacific.  The effort will be spearheaded by participants at the workshop\, and led by Ginger Armbrust (University of Washington).  However\, planning of the program is still at a very early stage\, and input from the broader community of marine microbiologists\, biogeochemists and modelers is essential.  \n The following objectives were developed as an organizational framework for the development of the hypotheses and approaches for the first sectional cruise and the program as a whole: \n (1)    Characterize and define the connections between the presence and activity of microbes (i.e.\, functional biogeography) and physical and chemical parameters\, utilizing the tools of an unprecedented\, large group of microbiologists and geochemists. (2)    Utilize genomics\, transcriptomics\, proteomics\, and metabolomics in combination with process measurements to define biogeochemical ‘connections’ and their constraints. (3)    Integrate results from multiple sections to identify boundaries of microbial biogeographic provinces (analogous to the Longhurst provinces) over horizontal and vertical scales.\n(4)    Develop an operational framework for many laboratories to collaborate together using a variety of molecular and biogeochemical  tools that includes rigorous protocols for methodological inter-calibration and standardization (5)    Incorporate the program’s observations into a new generation of models that capture the connections between microbes and chemistry in an ocean perturbed by climate change.  \n At the Town Hall Meeting\, these plans will be discussed along with a detailed summary of the meeting deliberations about the topics in points 1-5.

SUMMARY:U.S. GEOTRACES Arctic Planning Workshop
DESCRIPTION:U.S. GEOTRACES Arctic Planning WorkshopDates: 29 September to 1 October 2010Location: Washington DC\, USA \nWebsite of the Workshop: http://www.usgeotraces.com/html/arctic.html \nThe Report of the Workshop is available to download. \nOverview \nSince the inception of the international GEOTRACES Program\, a strong interest has developed in carrying out GEOTRACES-related activities in the Arctic Ocean. The Arctic Ocean is at the epi-center of climate change\, and changes there will ultimately be felt globally.  It constitutes less than 3 % of the World Ocean area and about 1% of the volume\, but it is unique in several ways. About 10% of the global river run-off is delivered to the Arctic Ocean and about 30% of the world’s soil carbon is estimated to be stored in northern ecosystems within the Arctic catchment area. Effects due to a warming climate may have profound impact on the Arctic resulting in increased export of organic carbon and sediments to the Arctic Ocean. Arctic shelves constitute about 25% of the World Ocean shelf area and are among the shallowest in the world acting as an important regulator of the river export of organic carbon and TEIs to the central Arctic Ocean. \nThis interest has already led to several discussions and deliberations\, including a GEOTRACES planning meeting held in Delmenhorst Germany in June 2009 which recognized the need for international collaboration to make future GEOTRACES efforts viable in this region. \nIn order to focus these discussions and to generate an action plan for future GEOTRACES activities between US investigators and international collaborators\, a US Arctic GEOTRACES Planning Workshop will take place from Sept 29 to Oct 1\, 2010 in Washington DC. \nAgenda \nThe Agenda of the meeting is available to download. \nList of participants \nThe List of Participants is available to download. \nOther Information \nAnnouncement.

SUMMARY:2010 Ocean Science Meeting
DESCRIPTION:2010 Ocean Sciences MeetingDates: 22 – 26 FebruaryLocation: Portland\, Oregon \nFor further information: http://www.agu.org/meetings/os10/ \nRelevant sessions: \n*C007: GEOTRACES in the International Polar Year \nConvener: Rob Middag\, Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research; Delphine Lannuzel\, University of Tasmania and Celia Venchiarutti\, Alfred Wegener Institute. \nTrace elements\, such as iron\, play a pivotal role in controlling ocean productivity and therefore global climate. Moreover several trace elements and isotopes serve as key tracers for unraveling processes and turnover rates in the oceans. The international GEOTRACES program pursues the characterization of marine biogeochemical cycles of Trace Elements and Isotopes (TEIs; stable or radioactive; natural or anthropogenic). In context of the International Polar Years (IPY) 2007-2009 the GEOTRACES program had its flying start with four Arctic and six Antarctic expeditions in order to study TEIs abundances\, processes and fluxes in the polar oceans. The multi-tracer approaches and inter-calibration exercises carried out during IPY-GEOTRACES have produced novel relationships among TEIs and other tracers and improved methods for sampling and analyses. We seek topics on TEIs as controling elements as well as tracers of biogeochemical processes in the polar oceans in the context of IPY-GEOTRACES and other relevant projects. \n*C009: Getting the Right Number: Precision and Accuracy in Chemical Oceanography \nConvener: Gregory Cutter\, Old Dominion University and Robert Sherrell\, Rutgers University. \nAccuracy and precision are essential for all biogeochemical studies. Some important chemical species are in extremely low concentration while others require high precision for optimal interpretation. Intercalibration is an active process among laboratories that includes all steps from sampling to analyses\, with the goal of achieving the same accurate results regardless of the method or lab. Past intercalibration efforts included examinations of colloids and carbonate system parameters\, and more recently the Sampling and Analysis of Iron (SAFe) experiment. The GEOTRACES intercalibration program is currently underway. This session seeks presentations focusing on methods to assess the accuracy and precision of determining various chemical parameters in the ocean (from organics to metals to isotopes in dissolved and particulate phases) and results from intercalibration programs. An important goal will be for attendees to discuss how best to assess accuracy from sampling to analysis when suitable certified reference materials are not available. \n
