SUMMARY:2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting
DESCRIPTION:2018 Ocean Sciences Meeting Dates: 11-16 February 2018Location: Portland\, Oregon\, USA. \nFor more information: http://osm.agu.org/2018/# \nGEOTRACES and GEOTRACES related Town Halls: \nRelease of new GEOTRACES Data ProductWednesday\, February 14\, 2018\, 12:45 PM – 01:45 PMOregon Convention Center – Oregon Ballroom 201 Room has changed! \nGEOTRACES\, an international study of the marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes\, has released its second data product (IDP2017).  The new data product expands greatly on the first collection of results released in 2014 in two important ways: 1) by adding a substantial body data from new cruises and 2) by adding additional datasets not available in the 2014 data product from cruises across the five world Oceans (e.g. aerosols\, isotopes and biological parameters that support the emerging BioGEOTRACES initiative). This expanded set of parameters available in the IDP2017\, ranging across micronutrients\, contaminants\, radioactive and stable isotopes and a broad suite of hydrographic parameters used to trace water masses provides an unprecedented means to understand the role of trace elements in shaping the functioning of the Ocean system.  We invite everyone to this town hall to learn about accessing IDP2017 and how it can be used for interdisciplinary research and teaching applications: http://www.bodc.ac.uk/geotraces/data/idp2017/ \nOrganizers: Robert F Anderson\, Columbia University of New York; Alessandro Tagliabue\, University of Liverpool; Gregory A Cutter\, Old Dominion University and Maite Maldonado\, University of British Columbia. \nDeveloping a framework for trace element\, isotope\, and other biogeochemical research in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean SeaTuesday\, February 13\, 2018\, 12:45 PM – 01:45 PMOregon Convention Center – Oregon Ballroom 201 Room has changed! \nIn addition to their dynamical influence on the formation of the Gulf Stream\, the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea are strongly affected by continental margin processes such as major river inputs and significant submarine groundwater discharges. GEOTRACES studies have increasingly demonstrated the importance of ocean margins in affecting trace element and isotope (TEI) fluxes to the open ocean. Given the importance of these marginal fluxes for cycling of carbon and nutrients\, the Gulf of Mexico has been a regional focus for recent OCB activities. However\, these activities\, as well as the 2010 Deepwater Horizon oil spill\, have revealed major gaps in our understanding of how inputs to the shelf influence biogeochemical and biological processes in open waters\, especially with regard to TEIs. Most such Gulf studies have focused on the Louisiana and West Florida shelves\, with little attention to open waters and interactions with the Loop Current. The steering committees of US GEOTRACES and OCB are beginning a conversation devoted to TEI research in the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean. We invite GEOTRACES\, OCB\, and other ocean scientists interested in these marginal seas to discuss processes of interest\, existing programs and data sets\, and potential steps forward. \nOrganizers: Alan M Shiller\, University of Southern Mississippi; Heather M Benway\, Woods Hole Oceanographic Inst.; Robert F Anderson\, Columbia University & Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory; Angela N Knapp\, Florida State University; Benjamin S Twining\, Bigelow Lab for Ocean Sciences and Kristen N Buck\, University of South Florida \nUpdate on the Second International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2)Monday\, February 12\, 2018\, 12:45 PM – 01:45 PMOregon Convention Center – D135-D136 \nThe second International Indian Ocean Expedition (IIOE-2) was launched on December 2015 and it will run through 2020 and beyond. This session will provide an update on international research activities that are being undertaken and planned in IIOE-2 and also report on the outcomes of a recent US Indian Ocean Science Planning workshop. The session will also present the mechanisms for involvement of interested scientists in IIOE-2 activities. \nOrganizers: Raleigh R Hood\, Michael J McPhaden and Lynne D Talley. \nGEOTRACES and GEOTRACES related sessions: \nThe Behavior of Trace Elements and Isotopes in Different Ocean Basins: New Insights from Comparisons and ContrastsSession ID#: 28118 Wednesday\, February 14\, 2018\, 08:00 AM – 10:00 AM\, 02:00 PM – 04:00 PMPosters: Wednesday\, February 14\, 04:00 PM – 06:00 PM \nSession Description: \nRecent international programs such as GEOTRACES have been examining the biogeochemical cycling of trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) in the world’s oceans to reveal the mechanisms and rates affecting their concentrations\, distributions\, chemical forms\, and interactions with organisms. In addition to studies by individual investigators\, the accumulating results show many similarities\, but some surprising differences between ocean basins\, with a classic example being the regionally-specific Cd/PO4 relationships. In the same way that deviations from the Redfield ratio of N/P between ocean basins\, known since the 1970s GEOSECS program\, provide insight into nitrogen cycle processes\, what can we learn from the comparisons and contrasts of TEIs\, and what tools are needed to explore and test these observations? This session seeks presentations from the observational and modeling communities on lessons learned from inter basin TEI data sets with respect to inputs to\, cycling within\, and exports from the world’s oceans. In addition we invite contributions that consider how TEI distributions\, their chemical speciation\, and interactions with micro-organisms shape microbial community structure and productivity in various ocean basins. \nPrimary Chair:  Gregory A Cutter\, Old Dominion University\, Ocean\, Earth and Atmospheric Sciences\, Norfolk\, VA\, United States \nCo-chairs:  Adrian Burd\, University of Georgia\, Athens\, GA\, United States\, Jay Thomas Cullen\, University of Victoria\, Victoria\, BC\, Canada and Tung-Yuan Ho\, Research Center for Environmental Changes Academia Sinica\, Taipei\, Taiwan \nAbiotic and Biotic Retention\, Recycling\, and Remineralization of Metals in the OceanSession ID#: 23502 Monday\, February 12\, 2018\, 04:00 PM – 06:00 PM and Tuesday\, February 13\, 2018\, 08:00 AM – 10:00 AM Posters: Monday\, February 12\, 2018\, 04:00 PM – 06:00 PM \nSession Description: \nTrace metals shape both the biogeochemical functioning and the biological structure of oceanic provinces\, and considerable insight into trace metal distributions have been gleaned from international programs like GEOTRACES. To date\, observational and modelling efforts have mainly focused on modes of external metal supply from different sources. While this has yielded important advances\, we also know that metals undergo key internal transformations such as biotic uptake\, scavenging\, recycling\, and remineralization.  These internal transformations play crucial roles in shaping the biogeochemical cycling of metals by governing their bioavailability\, oceanic distributions\, and residence times. In this session we solicit presentations that address key questions regarding the abiotic and biotic processes regulating (i) the retention timescale for metals in the upper ocean\, (ii) surface ocean metal recycling and bioavailability\, (iii) the subsurface regeneration length scales for metals in the ocean interior\, and (iv) the role of mineral versus organic characteristics of sinking particles on metal scavenging.  We also seek presentations that provide insights into how these key questions are mediated by differing physico-chemical and microbial processes in contrasting ocean settings. Presentations showing insights from the diverse standpoints of biogeochemical oceanography and molecular ecology\, from both observational and modelling perspectives\, are strongly encouraged. \nPrimary Chair:  Philip W Boyd\, University of Tasmania\, Institute for Marine and Antarctic Studies\, Hobart\, Australia \nCo-chairs:  Kristen N Buck\, University of South Florida Tampa\, College of Marine Science\, Tampa\, FL\, United States; University of South Florida\, College of Marine Science\, St. Petersburg\, FL\, United States\, Jessica N Fitzsimmons\, Texas A&M University\, Department of Oceanography\, United States and Alessandro Tagliabue\, University of Liverpool\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom \nThe Dawn of BioGEOTRACES: Metal-Microbe Interactions in the OceanSession ID#: 27768Thursday\, February 15\, 2018\, 08:00 AM – 12:30 AMPosters: Thursday\, February 15\, 2018\, 04:00 PM – 06:00 PM \nSession Description: \nTrace metals are essential for life\, catalysing key cellular reactions which then govern patterns of ocean fertility and biodiversity. Fundamental in this regard are the ways in which ocean microbes acquire essential metals and how biological activity is affected by metal availability. Developments in this field are being led by advances in analytical chemistry\, nanotechnology\, molecular biology\, and bioinformatics\, as well as the expansion of ‘omics’-related observations of in-situ microbial communities\, and the advent of new high resolution geochemical data from the international GEOTRACES program. It is now timely to bring together insights from these different disciplines\, spanning observation and modelling approaches to better understand how microbial activity\, diversity and ecology is shaped by interactions with trace metals over different space and time scales. By linking across disciplines\, there is the potential to develop the mechanistic understanding required to inform the ecological and biogeochemical models we rely on for testing hypotheses and projecting the impacts of ocean change. We are specifically interested in contributions that address (i) metal uptake and competition between microbes for metal resources\, (ii) how microbes adapt their physiology to metal scarcity and varied supply and (iii) how trace metals shape cellular function and evolution. \nPrimary Chair:  Adrian Marchetti\, University of North Carolina\, at Chapel Hill\, Department of Marine Sciences\, Chapel Hill\, NC\, United States \nCo-chairs:  Maria Teresa Maldonado\, University of British Columbia\, Vancouver\, BC\, Canada\, Alessandro Tagliabue\, University of Liverpool\, Liverpool\, United Kingdom and Yeala Shaked\, Hebrew University\, Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences\,\, Eilat\, Israel \n  \nBiogeochemical Processes Across Oxic-Anoxic TransitionsSession ID#: 28621Monday\, February 12\, 2018\, 08:00 AM – 10:00 AM\, 10:30 AM – 12:30 PMPosters:  Monday\, February 12\, 2018\, 04:00 PM – 06:00 PM \nSession Description: \nA suite of metabolically and chemically important oxidation-reduction reactions occur through the transitions from oxic to anoxic regions of the ocean. These reactions drive nutrient availability and metal solubility\, as well as organic matter production\, consumption\, and preservation. As oxygen minimum and deficient zones expand\, redox reactions in low to no oxygen environments are becoming globally more important\, both for the nitrogen and carbon cycles and also for trace metals. Understanding such environments can provide an important analogue for ocean chemistry and microbial life in the Precambrian\, prior to the great oxygenation events. This session seeks to bring together geochemical\, biological\, and physical scientists working on low oxygen and anoxic regions\, in order to create an integrated picture of biogeochemistry in these environments. Presentations from observational\, experimental\, or modeling standpoints on nutrients\, trace elements\, dissolved gases\, isotope systematics\, microbiology\, biological productivity\, or physical drivers in these regions are all invited. We especially encourage submissions investigating the redox transition in the water column or sediments of restricted basins such as Saanich Inlet and the Black Sea\, as well as GEOTRACES and open-ocean studies of settings such as the Eastern Tropical Pacific\, North Atlantic\, and Indian OMZs. \nPrimary Chair:  Jeffry V Sorensen\, University of Victoria\, School of Earth and Ocean Sciences\, Victoria\, BC\, Canada \nCo-chairs:  Roberta Claire Hamme\, University of Victoria\, School of Earth and Ocean Sciences\, Victoria\, BC\, Canada and Tim M Conway\, University of South Carolina\, Columbia\, SC\, United States \nOcean Biogeochemistry and Air-Sea InteractionsSession ID#: 29651Thursday\, February 15\, 2018\, 02:00 PM – 04:00 PM and Friday\, February 16\, 2018\, 08:00 AM – 10:00 AMPosters:  Wednesday\, February 14\, 2018\, 04:00 PM – 06:00 PM \nSession Description: \nStudies of ocean biogeochemistry related to air-sea interactions are providing significant new information to help us understand a wide variety of physical\, chemical and biological processes in the oceans. There are many processes that link the surface ocean and the lower atmosphere\, for example\, the release of biogenic compounds as sources of cloud or ice condensation nuclei\, the deposition of natural and anthropogenic aerosols that can affect plankton communities\, the transport of airborne microbes that can alter the dynamics of proximal and distant ecosystems\, the biology\, chemistry and physics of the sea-surface microlayer (SML) as the interface through which all exchanges between the atmosphere and the ocean occur\, the enrichment of surfactants and other biogenic compounds in the SML that can affect gas exchange rates\, etc. Understanding these processes is crucial for improving the reliability of regional and global models and the evaluation of future scenarios. We welcome contributions on all aspects of the physics\, chemistry\, and biology of air-sea interactions\, including observations\, experimentation\, methodological or technical developments\, and theoretical and modeling efforts. \nPrimary Chair:  Francesc Peters\, Institute of Marine Sciences (ICM\, CSIC)\, Barcelona\, Spain \nCo-chairs:  William M Landing\, Florida State University\, Department of Earth\, Ocean\, and Atmospheric Science\, Tallahassee\, FL\, United States\, Oliver Wurl\, Carl von Ossietzky Universität Oldenburg\, Institute for Chemistry and Biology of the Marine Environment\, Wilhelmshaven\, Germany and Brian Ward\, National University of Ireland\, Galway (NUIG)\, School of Physics\, Galway\, Ireland \n  \nBridging Microbial\, Stable Isotope\, and Micronutrient Approaches to Marine Carbon and Nitrogen RecyclingSession ID#: 28316Monday\, February 12\, 2018\, 08:00 AM – 10:00 AMPosters:  Monday\, February 12\, 2018\, 04:00 PM – 06:00 PM \nSession Description: \nThe efficiency of the ocean’s biological carbon pump is determined by the physical transport and cycling of both macro- (N\, P\, Si\, S\, O) and micro-nutrients (e.g. Fe\, Zn\, Co\, Cu\, Cd\, Ni\, Mn\, Mo\, V\, B\, Se). However\, even as our capability to measure nutrient concentrations and their isotopes have expanded to include basin-scale datasets\, we continue to be challenged by new insights with respect to variable plankton and organic matter stoichiometry\, lateral nutrient transport fluxes\, ‘new’ vs. ‘recycled’ nutrients\, metal-organics complexation\, scavenging rates\, variable remineralization rates\, elemental residence times\, and more. Here we welcome submissions that address macro- and micro-nutrient cycling and their effects on sustaining the marine carbon (e.g. export production) and nitrogen (e.g. nitrogen fixation\, denitrification) cycles. A wide breadth of scales (meso\, regional\, basin\, global; paleo\, present\, future) and scientific approaches to these questions are encouraged including observational\, theoretical\, modeling\, and isotopic studies. Finally\, we encourage submissions that work to bridge oceanographic disciplines. \nPrimary Chair:  Patrick A Rafter\, University of California Irvine\, Irvine\, CA\, United States \nCo-Chair:  Robert T Letscher\, University of New Hampshire\, Earth Sciences\, Durham\, NH\, United States and Alexis Pasulka\, California Polytechnic State University \n

SUMMARY:ASLO 2018 Summer Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO) 2018 Summer Meeting Dates: 10 -15 June 2018Location: Victoria\, BC\, Canada \nFurther information: https://aslo.org/victoria2018/main \nGEOTRACES-related sessions: \nSS82: EMERGING MODELS OF TRACE METAL BIOAVAILABILITY TO AQUATIC ORGANISMS \nDavid Semeniuk\, Minnow Environmental Inc. (dsemeniuk@minnow.ca)Randelle Bundy\, University of Washington (rbundy@uw.edu)Anne Cremazy\, U. British Columbia (acremazy@zoology.ubc.ca) \nWell established equilibrium-based trace metal bioavailability models for aquatic organisms (e.g.\, the Free Ion Activity Model and Biotic Ligand Model) have proven useful for predicting the bioavailability and toxicity of metals in aqueous environments for a variety of organisms\, from phytoplankton to fish. These models propose that metal bioavailability is proportional to the concentration of the free metal ion in solution. Thus\, given enough information about the chemical environment\, one can predict metal bioavailability and potential toxicity. Yet\, emerging laboratory and field studies indicate that these models do not accurately predict metal bioavailability under all environmentally realistic conditions\, such as when salinity and pH varies\, when natural organic ligands and bioavailable metabolites are present\, and at low trace metal concentrations (as opposed to high concentrations typical of industrial effluents). In light of this\, this session seeks new work that explores modified or alternative models for trace metal bioavailability to aquatic organisms\, and their ecological implications. We invite research concerning both experimental and biophysical chemical modeling of trace metal bioavailability\, including the roles of chemical speciation\, kinetic controls on metal bioavailability\, and the influence of metal and organic ligand mixtures on metal speciation\, bioavailability and toxicity.

SUMMARY:Introduction to the Awesome OCIM
DESCRIPTION:Introduction to the Awesome OCIMDates: 12 August 2018Location: Boston\, USA \nDownload the annoucement as pdf \n  \nIntroduction to the Awesome OCIM \nWorkshop\, August 12 th\, 2018\, MIT campus\, Boston MA\, 10 AM to 5 PM (Sunday preceding Goldschmidt 2018) \nContact sethjohn@usc.edu by June 1st to register\, including a few sentences about who you are and why you would like to attend. \n\nThe Awesome OCIM is a new modeling toolbox designed to bring cutting-edge transport matrix models to a wide community of users. This workshop will introduce the AO to the GEOTRACES community and the wider community of chemical oceanographers. Modeling novices welcome!  \nThe AO uses Ocean Circulation Inverse Model (OCIM) transport for realistic global 3d circulation. Within this circulation\, broad features of the distribution of many marine TEIs can be achieved by combining just a few processes. For example\, iron might be modeled as a combination of atmospheric and sedimentary sources\, biological uptake\, and remineralization. Thorium might be modeled with radioactive production and decay\, plus scavenging. A clickable interface allows the user to include processes such as these\, and tune their magnitude to match observed GEOTRACES data. Further adjustments to biogeochemical cycling can be achieved with changes to the underlying Matlab code. \nThis workshop is designed for graduate students\, postdocs\, and faculty with an interest in learning more about the AO. No previous experience with modeling is necessary. All participants will be given the latest version of the AO software\, and talks will include examples of how the AO and other similar OCIMs are used in research\, an introduction to using the AO through the GUI and underlying Matlab code\, and a hands-on opportunity to recreate the global distribution of your favorite TEI using the AO. Also there will be sandwiches. \n \n\n\n\n \n \n\n\n\nExample Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs) for running the AO and plotting model output with the AO. The behavior of many TEIs in the ocean can be approximated by combining a few key processes such as dust and hydrothermal inputs\, biological uptake and remineralization\, radioactive decay\, scavenging\, etc. Both GEOTRACES data and model output can then be plotted using a separate GUI. \n \nAn example of model output for a “cadmium-like” tracer with uptake and remineralization similar to PO4. This figure illustrates the 2° latitudinal and longitudinal resolution of the AO\, with 24-box depth resolution.

SUMMARY:Goldschmidt 2018
DESCRIPTION:Goldschmidt 2018Dates: 12 – 17 August 2018Location: Boston\, USA \nFor further information: https://goldschmidt.info/2018/index \nAbstract submission deadline: 30 March 2018 \nGEOTRACES session: \n \nSession 07i: New Insights in Marine Trace Element Biogeochemistry \nConveners: Christian Schlosser\, Florian Scholz\, Rene Boiteau\, Tim Conway\, Daniel Ohnemus\, Jennifer McKay\, William Homoky and Jessica Fitzsimmons. \nThe cycling of trace elements in the ocean is strongly influenced by a combination of biotic and abiotic processes including biological utilization\, water mass circulation\, sources and sinks\, and interactions with particles. Many trace elements are essential for life\, while others may be toxic pollutants. Therefore\, understanding the factors that control the distribution\, reactivity\, and bioavailability of these elements is important for predicting their effect on ecosystems and climate\, and for using them as tracers of ocean processes. Recent advances in oceanography have begun to clarify the unique sources and chemical forms of these elements throughout the ocean. Examples include better constraints on the cycling and sources of dissolved elements by isotopic analyses\, improved parametrization of benthic metal processes and fluxes in biogeochemical models\, revelation of particulate and colloidal metal phases by size-partitioned analyses\, and elucidation of siderophore\, humic\, and mineral forms of metals using novel applications of electrochemical\, mass spectrometric\, and x-ray spectroscopic methods. This session solicits submissions highlighting new findings about the processes that influence the marine biogeochemistry of marine trace elements and their isotopes in the past and present. We invite contributions that focus on the study of elemental isotope fractionation\, biological uptake and remineralization\, exchange processes at the sediment-bottom water and hydrothermal interfaces\, metal speciation and redox chemistry\, and biogeochemical modeling. Abstracts concerning new insights on elemental cycling from GEOTRACES ocean sections and process studies on the cycling of trace elements\, and any other works focused on understanding the transformations of metals from the molecular to global scale are strongly encouraged.  \nGEOTRACES-related session: \nSession 07l: Carbon Storage in the Ocean now and over Time \nConveners: Laura Robinson\, Gideon Henderson\, Christopher Hayes\, Barbel Honisch and Joe Stewart. \nKeynote speaker: Richard Zeebe (University of Hawaii) \nThis session invites contributions that relate to mechanisms through which the oceans cycle and store carbon. We welcome studies that consider the natural system’s capacity to store carbon today and over geologic timescales\, the rates of carbon cycle processes\, and the biogeochemical pathways involved in the carbon cycle. We also welcome efforts to examine modern day geoengineering of the ocean’s biogeochemical systems. \n  \nSession 07m: Sedimentary biogeochemical cycling along continental margins: role of climate\, tectonic setting\, and oceanographic regimes \nConveners:  Sian Henley\, Johan Faust\, Silke Severmann\, Robert Aller \nContinental margins are regions of intense diagenetic cycling\, sediment-water fluxes\, and burial of biogenic and lithogenic debris.  Margins are generally characterized by high biological productivity and sediment accumulation rates. However\, specific modes of benthic elemental cycling\, authigenic mineral formation\, and storage are strong functions of depositional environment\, including physical dynamics and sediment sources.  The effects of climate change\, such as decreasing sea-ice in the higher latitudes or changing precipitation patterns in drainage basins\, have the potential to greatly alter benthic cycling and the exchange between sediments and the water column.   This session will explore and contrast benthic biogeochemical cycling along continental margins from a range of climatic and weathering regimes (e.g.\, drainage basin weathering\, Corg reactivity)\, tectonic setting (active\, passive margins)\, sediment types (permeable\, impermeable)\, coastal processes (deltaic\, non-deltaic)\, and oceanographic conditions (e.g.\, upwelling\, ice cover\, ventilation – oxygenation\, tidal range). We particularly welcome contributions that focus on the origin\, processing\, fate\, and characterization of organic and inorganic carbon\, nutrients and metals within the context of modern climate\, oceanographic and ecosystem change.

SUMMARY:An Ocean of Opportunity
DESCRIPTION:An Ocean OpportunityDates: September 16-20\, 2019 Location: Honolulu Convention Center\, HI For further information: www.oceanobs19.net\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe organizers of OceanObs’19 are soliciting abstracts of Community White Papers describing aspirations for the coming decade from all interested groups. The Community White Papers should promote international collaboration and large-scale sustained ocean observing efforts\, and address one or ideally more of the seven (anticipated) themes (Discovery\, Ecosystem Health & Biodiversity\, Climate Variability & Change\, Water\, Food\, & Energy Security\, Pollution & Human Health\, Hazards & Maritime Safety\, and Blue Economy) and two crosscutting themes on data information system and ocean observing governance topics. \nBased on the contributed abstracts of Community White Papers\, the OceanObs’19 Program Committee will solicit full Community White Papers to be submitted by end of September 2018. The Program Committee may recommend that authors of particular abstracts collaborate and merge the concepts described in separate abstracts to develop a joint Community White Paper. The papers will be peer-reviewed and published in an open access journal before the conference.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWe seek abstract contributions that provide solutions to build and enhance connections between end users and ocean observations in relation to one or more of the conference themes.  Additionally\, abstracts should focus on (one or more of the following):   \n\nStrategies to address social and economic needs including the development of the Blue Economy;\nEmerging science concepts that require multidisciplinary sustained observations (i.e. biological\, biogeochemical\, physical\, geological\, social and economic\, etc.);\nThe value of existing ocean observations and their potential relevance in an evolving ocean observing system;\nThe requirements for sustaining and enhancing ocean observing capabilities;\nThe development of new observing technologies and networks\, including identification of new transformative directions for ocean observing;\nAdvances in open data\, information technology\, and governance systems;\nObservational or observation-model synthesis;\nThe need for improved processes to better support research and operations;\nInnovations in engagement with end-user communities.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCONFERENCE INFORMATION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe main goal of the conference will be to further develop effective strategies for a sustained\, multidisciplinary and integrated ocean observing system\, and to better connect user communities and observers. End user communities include operational users\, national and local authorities as well as researchers\, from the public and private sectors.  Engagement with international user communities can take diverse forms\, including closer interaction to better target their needs for ocean observing networks and derived products while better informing management decisions. OceanObs’19 will continue the tradition of building the vision of ocean users and observers.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nBACKGROUND:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAs part of the decadal conference series\, OceanObs’19 will galvanize the ocean observing community ranging from scientists to end users. OceanObs’19 seeks to improve response to scientific and societal needs of a fit-for-purpose integrated ocean observing system\, for better understanding the environment of the Earth\, monitoring climate\, and informing adaptation strategies as well as the sustainable use of ocean resources.   OceanObs’99 resulted in an internationally coordinated system for physical climate and ocean carbon observations. OceanObs’09 expanded the range of communities working together to undertake more comprehensive ocean observations and led to the Framework for Ocean Observing. OceanObs’19 will seek to advance these outcomes by extending its reach the full spectrum of ocean communities.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nExpected Schedule\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDec 18\, 2018: Release of call for abstracts of Community White Papers March 15\, 2018:  Due date for abstract submission March 15 – April 30\, 2018:  Program Committee reviews and consolidates Community White Paper list April 30\, 2018:  Invitations to group authors for Community White Papers September 30\, 2018:  Community White Papers due\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFor any additional information\, please reach out to info@oceanobs19.net or check out www.oceanobs19.net for up-to-date info!

Scientists interested by the themes of the meeting (see below) are invited to mark the dates\, register to the meeting\, and share this information with their colleagues! \nRegistration & Practical Information: \nPlease see the meeting brochure for payment\, accommodation\, abstract submission and other practical information and register to the meeting starting from today! Deadline for registration: 10 August 2018. A limited number of travel fellowship will be offered by SCOR and InterRidge based on the the situation and motivation of the applicant\, followed by a first-come\, first-served basis. Please apply for travel fellowship when registering. \nGoals: \nThe workshop will focus on the geological\, geophysical\, geochemical and physical aspects of the mid-ocean ridges and the other geological features in the Indian Ocean and provide a forum for exchange of ideas and results. Both the Ridge community and the Marine Geology and Geophysics community are only marginally involved in the International Indian Ocean Expedition – 2 (IIOE-2) and therefore one of the major goals is to develop new international collaboration and programs on geology and geophysics of the Indian Ocean\, under IIOE-2. The budget allocated by SCOR and InterRidge will mostly be used to allow students\, young scientists\, and other scientists to participate.  \nThemes: \nThe following seven themes cover the main peculiarities of the Indian Ocean ridges and geology: \n\n\nIndian Ocean mid-ocean ridges: hydrothermalism\, fragile ecosystem\, and deep-sea mining exploration \n\n\nIndian Ocean mid-ocean ridges: tectonics and magmatism in a wide range of spreading rates \n\n\nEvolving lithosphere of the Indian Ocean: from mid-ocean ridges to basins to active or passive margins \n\n\nComplex physical and geochemical aspects of the Indian Ocean mid-ocean ridge system \n\n\nAseismic ridges\, oceanic plateaus\, micro-continents and seamounts of the Indian Ocean \n\n\nImplications of the collision and subduction on the complex history of the Indian Ocean \n\n\nSubmarine fans and sedimentation history in the Indian Ocean \n\n\nThe meeting brochure contains all details on payment\, accommodation\, abstract submission etc. Click here to register to the meeting.  \n============================================= \nContact: Kamil Szafrański – The InterRidge Coordinator at interridge@ipgp.fr \n \n

SUMMARY:GEOTRACES-PAGES Synthesis Workshop
DESCRIPTION:GEOTRACES-PAGES Synthesis workshop: Trace Element and Isotope Proxies in PaleoceanographyDates: 3 – 5 December 2018Location: Aix-Marseille\, France. \nFor further information: Please visit the Workshop web page: https://geotracespages.sciencesconf.org/ \nReport from the Workshop: https://doi.org/10.22498/pages.27.1.35 \nBackground \nThe joint GEOTRACES/PAGES workshop on the synthesis of geochemical proxies used in paleoceanography aims to establish the strength\, limits and conditions of application of a given proxy. \nThere is a vital need for a synthesis of geochemical proxies used in paleoceanography to improve interpretation of commonly used proxies. This synthesis is timely in view of the wealth of new data coming from GEOTRACES and contemporary programs. \nThe workshop will bring together expertise from GEOTRACES\, PAGES\, and the broader oceanographic community of observationalists and modellers that will exploit new data to provide a more rigorous calibration of proxies and interpretation of their records. \nWorking groups \nAll participants will choose 1 or 2 working groups: \nBiological productivityOceanic circulationParticle flux and sedimentation ratePhysical and/or biogeochemical modelling. \nTravel support \nFinancial travel support will be available for about 60 participants in the form of subsidies for airfare and ground transportation (capped depending on travel origin). Hotel rooms and meals will be provided by the organizers: 2 nights for participants from Europe and 3 nights for participants from overseas (4 nights for US participants). Those who can cover their own travel expenses are encouraged to do so. \nThe planning committee will select participants to receive travel support based on a review of pre-registration information received by the deadline of 1 June 2018. The anticipated contribution to the workshop goals will be used as the basis for selection among the applicants. \nDecisions will be communicated to participants in July. Selected participants will then be invited to finalize their registration for the workshop. The organizers will take care of the hotel booking for funded participants for the duration of the workshop. \nSponsors \nPAGES\, GEOTRACES\, SCOR\, US-NSF\, CNRS-INSU-LEFE\, CEREGE\, Aix-Marseille Université and John Cantle Scientific Ltd. \nWorkshop planning committee \nRobert Anderson – Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory\, USADamien Cardinal\, LOCEAN\, Sorbonne Université\, FranceMartin Frank – GEOMAR Helmholtz Centre for Ocean Research\, Kiel\, GermanyChris Hayes – University of Southern Mississippi\, USAGideon Henderson – University of Oxford\, UKTristan Horner – Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution\, USACatherine Jeandel – Observatoire Midi Pyrenees\, FranceSusan Little – Imperial College\, UKMarie-France Loutre – PAGES International Project Office\, SwitzerlandThomas Marchitto – University of Colorado\, USAElena Masferrer Dodas – GEOTRACES International Project Office\, FranceKatharina Pahnke – Max Planck Research Group – Marine Isotope Geochemistry\, GermanyKazuyo Tachikawa – CEREGE\, FranceLaurence Vidal – Aix-Marseille Université\, FranceJimin Yu – Australian National University\, AustraliaLiping Zhou – Peking University\, China \nReport \nThe Report from the Workshop is available to read and download here.

SUMMARY:Fourth Xiamen Symposium on Marine Environmental Sciences (XMAS-IV)
DESCRIPTION:Fourth Xiamen Symposium on Marine Environmental Sciences (XMAS)Dates: 6-9 January 2019Location: Xiamen\, China \nFor further information: http://mel.xmu.edu.cn/conference/4xmas \n \nThe deadline for abstract submission is Aug 31\, 2018.  \nGEOTRACES session: \nThe role of trace metals in controlling structure and function of microbial communities in contemporary oceans  \nPunyasloke Bhadury\, Yeala Shaked\, Maria Maldonado\, Yihua Cai\, Chris Bowler \nTrace metals are essential for life\, catalyzing key cellular reactions that influence ocean productivity\, biodiversity\, and biogeochemical cycling of the major elements including carbon and nitrogen. Essential trace metals\, such as iron and zinc\, are usually present at very low dissolved concentrations in seawater and are mostly found as stable organic complexes. Indeed\, in large oceanic regions trace metals control the physiology and ecological functioning of microbial communities. There is a need to understand how microbial communities including nano and pico-phytoplankton acquire essential metals and how biological activity is affected by metal availability and resulting consequences for cycling of essential elements such as carbon\, nitrogen and phosphorus. To understand many of these questions\, large international research programs such as GEOTRACES have been initiated incorporating trans-disciplinary approaches to understand mechanistic links between geochemical and biological variability. In this session\, we welcome contributions from researchers\, including early career scientists\, investigating the role of trace metals on the structure and functioning of microbial communities including marine phytoplankton across ecosystems. In particular\, we welcome submissions in areas which address the link between trace metals and isotopes with a focus on microbial communities mediating the cycling of major nutrients in contemporary oceans\, metal uptake and competition between microbes for metal resources and the role of trace metals in shaping cellular function and evolution. \nSession ID: C3 [Bio-GEOTRACES]
