SUMMARY:AOGS 2014\, Asia Oceania Geosciences Society Annual Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Asia Oceania Geosciences Society 11th Annual Meeting (AOGS 2014)Dates: 28 July to 01 August\, 2014Location: Sapporo\, Hokkaido (Japan)Abstract deadline: 11 February 2014 \n \nFor further information: http://www.asiaoceania.org/aogs2014/public.asp?page=home.htm \nGEOTRACES sessions: \n \n*OS01: Trace elements and their isotopes in the ocean: GEOTRACES activities in Asia and Oceania \nMain Convener: Dr. Yoshiki Sohrin (Kyoto University\, Japan) \nCo-convener(s): Dr. Tung-Yuan Ho (Academia Sinica\, Taiwan)\, Dr. Pinghe Cai (Xiamen University\, China)\, Prof. Man Sik Choi (Chungnam National University\, Korea\, South). \n \nOceanic trace elements and their isotopes (TEIs) are promising tracers and proxies for important geochemical and biogeochemical processes in the modern and ancient oceans. The global distributions of TEIs have been extensively studied during the past decade\, mostly attributed to the sponsorship and support of an active international program\, GEOTRACES. Some of the TEIs data obtained at crossover stations by different research groups globally have already been intercalibrated and validated by GEOTRACES committee and the validated data will be reported in the Intermediate Data Product in early 2014. The contributions of Asian and Oceania countries to GEOTRACES related studies would be essential for the success of GEOTRACES programme. This session aims to bring together GEOTRACES related studies in Asia and Oceania to enhance and promote the related research in the region. Contributions from other regions are also welcome.

SUMMARY:Goldschmidt 2014
DESCRIPTION:Goldschmidt 2014  Dates: 8-13 June 2014Location: Sacramento\, California\, USA \nFor further information: http://goldschmidt.info/2014/index \nGEOTRACES Town Hall: \n \nGEOTRACES Intermediate Data Product  (Included in the student events programme)Tuesday 10th June 12:30-14:00  Location: Restaurant\, Cafeteria 15L (View on map) – Capacity 100 persons. \n \nThe first GEOTRACES intermediate data product is now freely available on-line. The nature of the data made available\, the data policy\, and the procedure to access the data will be described. GEOTRACES (www.geotraces.org) is an international study of the marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes. 654 stations (50 cruises) have been sampled resulting in 800 data sets. A question and answer session will follow a presentation of selected results and new data visualization tools. \nLunch boxes will be provided to the first 50 student participants and USB sticks containing the eGEOTRACES Atlas will be offered to the first 80 participants. \n  \nGEOTRACES sessions: \n \n17e: Trace Elements\, Microbes\, and Biogeochemical Cycles in the Ocean EnvironmentCo-convenors: Kathy Barbeau\, Maite Maldonado\, Benjamin Twining \n \nThe relationships between trace metals and biota in the oceans are interactive\, wide-ranging and can be perceived at molecular to ecosystem scales\, with multiple connections to and consequences for the biogeochemical cycling of carbon and nitrogen. 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 expansive new high resolution geochemical data sets via the international GEOTRACES program (www.geotraces.org). This session invites contributions which highlight trace metal-biota interactions and trace metal biogeochemistry in the oceans from a variety of perspectives. Presentations that include observations from ocean transects\, process studies\, laboratory or field-based incubation experiments and integration into models are encouraged. \n \n16g: Sources\, sinks and stores: integrating isotope and geochemical proxies for past and present surface processes\, from elementary reactions to global changeCo-convenors: Tim Conway\, Penelope Lancaster\, Damien Lemarchand\, Sunil Singh\, Sambuddha Misra \n \nInteractions between water and rock control the chemistry of surface waters as well as the sedimentary and oceanic geochemical budget over a range of time scales\, with global implications for pressing environmental and energy questions. Recent improvements in high resolution analytical tools\, especially geochemical and isotopic techniques by multi-collector ICP-MS\, have advanced our understanding of these critical processes in disciplines as diverse as the ultra-low concentration constituents of seawater\, the provenance of sediments and the mechanisms of chemical and physical weathering. This session invites state-of-the-art contributions which address critical uncertainties in our ability to interpret the recent abundance of geochemical data in three key areas: 1) Production and transport of sediments\, including new isotopic and geochemical proxies for weathering rates (non-traditional stable isotopes like Li\, Be\, B\, Mg\, Ca\, Si\, Fe\, Mo\, U- and Th-series\, isotopologues etc.); 2) isotopic and elemental fluxes to\, from and within the ocean\, and their influence on the composition of marine sediments and seawater dissolved isotope budgets (modeling/datasets focusing on novel marine isotope systems e.g. Cu\, Cd\, Zn\, Fe\, Ni etc.\, especially studies from the GEOTRACES program); and 3) interpreting sedimentary records\, particularly studies which link highly-sophisticated single-grain analyses of heavy minerals (zircon\, rutile\, apatite\, feldspar) to provenance and transport of sediment from source to sink. \n \nGEOTRACES-related sessions: \n \n14e: Climate and Biogeochemistry of Cryosphere EnvironmentsCo-convenors: Lori Ziolkowski\, Amy Townsend\, Ashley Dubnick\, Anders Carlson\, Sarah Aciego\, Alexandre Anesio\, Jill Mikucki \n \nGrowing observations indicate dramatic changes in the cryosphere. The cryosphere includes frozen environments derived from sources of freshwater (glacial and ice-sheet ice\, snow\, lake ice)\, salt water (sea ice\, ice shelves\, saline lakes) and soil (permafrost). In this session we focus on three important aspects of the cryosphere: • Ice sheets as agents that influence sea level\, and regional to global climate on orbital\, millennial\, centennial and anthropogenic timescales. Their dynamics need to be understood in the context of past climate changes; we will present new research across geomorphology\, glaciology\, geochemistry and oceanography that link paleoclimate information with ice sheet extent\, volume\, subglacial environments and regional and global climate change. • The history and ultimate fate of carbon released from arctic and alpine environments with implications for climate feedbacks in a warming world. We will present new research at the intersection of atmospheric\, oceanic and terrestrial chemistry including novel analytical techniques\, modeling and field measurements that study the carbon cycling of arctic and alpine environments. • Microbial organisms that have survive long-term encasement in an ice matrix and\, in some cases\, adapted to metabolize and even thrive within the ice. Evidence for their ability to influence the formation and decay of icy interfaces and to play important roles in the cycling of carbon and other climate is increasing. The inhabitants of Earth’s cryosphere also provide model systems for considering the evolution of life during Snowball Earth and possible analogs for life on other icy planets and moons. This session will bring together biologists\, biogeochemists\, glaciologists and astrobiologists to debate the most recent advances in understanding the habitation of ice on Earth — past\, present and possibly beyond. \n \n17a: Natural and Anthropogenic Impacts on Ocean Chemistry (Nutrients\, Oxygen and the Biological Pump)Co-convenors: Cecile Guieu\, Linn Hoffman\, Martha Gledhill\, Jay Cullen \nThe colloidal phase of estuarine and marine waters\, the interface between truly soluble and particulate matter\, remains one of the greatest enigma’s in the study of marine biogeochemistry. Methods for studying this phase are operational and for the most part differ among studies\, so with few exceptions then there are no means for quantitatively comparing findings. The colloidal phase itself comprises organic and inorganic materials\, and it seems clear that the relative distribution of these phases changes spatially and temporally\, even in oceanic environments. Sources comprise terrestrial outflow\, aerosols (either direct or indirect)\, and in-situ processes. Although in some cases colloid aggregation has been demonstrated to facilitate the removal of “dissolved” substances\, it also appears able to buffer truly soluble essential metals for phytoplankton growth (e.g.\, Fe). The aim of this session is to bring together those working on all aspects of marine-related colloids to gain a better understanding of our current state of knowledge of the marine colloidal phase. We particularly encourage presentations on the sources and processes affecting colloidal abundance and composition\, and their effects on marine biogeochemical cycles. \n \n17g: Hydrothermal Vents: Controls and Influences – Nano-Scale to Global – On Earth and BeyondConvenors: Emma A. A. Versteegh\, Kathrin Streit\, Max Coleman \n \nDeep-sea hydrothermal vents are hot spots for geochemical interactions. They have complex tectonic and structural controls\, and in turn influence physical and biological processes on a wide range of spatial scales. These systems have been increasingly intensively studied since their discovery 37 years ago\, and much scientific progress was made in recent years. Technical developments continuously improve our ability to investigate these extreme environments. Geochemists with diverse scientific backgrounds have made major contributions to our understanding of hydrothermal vent systems. This session aims to bring together these researchers\, working at any of the relevant spatial scales on all aspects of hydrothermal vent geochemistry. Potential topics might include but are not limited to\, the role of vents in global geochemical cycles (e.g. C\, S and Fe)\, tectonic and structural controls on hydrothermal circulation and water-rock interaction\, rock\, and fluid chemistry\, and the spectrum of ecosystems they support. We also encourage contributions looking at the potential significance of hydrothermal vents in the origin of life and in astrobiology\, for example\, habitability and potential biosignatures on the moons of the Outer Planets. \n \n19c: The Biogeochemical Cycling of the Nutrients N\, P and Si: Terrestrial and Marine Insights for the Present\, Past and FutureCo-convenors: Karen Casciotti\, Troy Baisden\, Gabriel Filippelli\, Mak Saito \n \nNutrients (e.g.\, Nitrogen\, Phosphorous and Silicon) underpin vital processes within Earth’s ecosystems. In modern-day systems\, these nutrient cycles exhibit complex\, non-linear dynamics. Paleo-studies of nutrient cycles also suffer from this complexity\, combined with imperfect geochemical preservation of evidence. New developments in biogeochemistry are improving our ability to describe nutrient dynamics in contemporary systems\, and when combined with models\, may also improve our ability to interpret the past and predict future responses of nutrients to global change. We consider both biologically-mediated nutrient cycles as well as cycles with competing biotic and abiotic regulation of sources or sinks. This theme encourages insights describing how biogeochemical nutrient dynamics can be understood in the face of apparent complexity\, and applied to global changes in the past or future. \n \n19f: Biogeochemical Processes Influencing Mobilization\, Transformations\, and Bioavailability of MercuryCo-convenors: Helen Hsu-Kim\, Nathan Yee\, Andrew Graham \n \nMercury is a global pollutant and a neurotoxin that presents significant risks for human health. Solutions to the mercury problem can be difficult\, due to the complex array of processes that ultimately lead to food web accumulation of this element in the form of monomethylmercury. This session will focus on the biogeochemical processes that influence the geochemical speciation of mercury\, transport in the environment\, and bioaccumulation. Specific topics include photochemical transformations\, redox-related processes\, biochemical pathways involved in net methylmercury production\, and the consequences of climate change on the global Hg cycle.

SUMMARY:International Conference on Atmospheric Dust
DESCRIPTION:International Conference on Atmospheric DustDates: 1-6 June 2014Location: Castellaneta Marina\, Italy \n \nFor futher information: http://www.dust2014.org \n \nGEOTRACES relevant sessions:  \n \nDust in the Sea — Impact on Biogeochemistry and ClimateChristel S. Hassler – Université de Genève – CHVéronique Schoemann – Université Libre de Bruxelles – BEDust laden nutrients deposited in surface waters affect phytoplankton with impact for their primary productivity\, biomass and biodiversity. Primary productivity is a critical step for climate regulation. Given that iron limits primary productivity in up to 30 % of the ocean and that most of the dust being deposited bear a significant amount of iron\, its solubility\, reactivity and bioavailability are actively studied. Such research goals are part of the GEOTRACES international science program. In order to improve our understanding of the links between continental dust\, the ocean and the carbon cycle\, this session welcomes contributions on the fate of elements delivered by atmospheric dust to the ocean\, their bioavailability and their implication for the primary productivity. As the consequences from global change on dust deposition and atmospheric processing remain unknown\, contributions on the global impact of dust oceanic deposition nowadays but also in the future are also welcome.

SUMMARY:2014 Ocean Sciences Meeting
DESCRIPTION:2014 Ocean Sciences Meeting Dates: 23-28 February 2014Location: Honolulu\, HI\, USA. \nFor more information: http://www.sgmeet.com/osm2014/default.asp \nGEOTRACES-Town Hall Meeting: \nGEOTRACES Intermediate Data ProductDate: Tuesday\, February 25\, 2014 Time: 12:45:00 PM \nThe GEOTRACES program will publicly release its first data product. The nature of the data to be made available\, the data policy\, and the procedure to access the data will be described. GEOTRACES (www.geotraces.org) is an international study of the marine biogeochemical cycles of trace elements and their isotopes. 618 stations (49 cruises) have been sampled resulting in 800 data sets. A question and answer session will follow a presentation of selected results and new data visualization tools \nGEOTRACES-Relevant Sessions: \n018 – Advancing the frontiers of the Si cycle in terrestrial\, coastal\, and open ocean ecosystems \nOrganizers: Paul Treguer\, European Institute for Marine Studies; Joanna Carey\, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; Mark Brzezinski\, Marine Science Institute\, University of California; Christina De La Rocha\, European Institute for Marine Studies; Robinson Fulweiler\, Boston University; Manuel Maldonado\, Centro de Estudios Avanzados de Blanes. \nRecent work in a variety of systems and across a range of spatial scales has shown that the silicon (Si) cycle is unexpectedly dynamic and perhaps far from steady state. These new findings also highlight many unknowns. It is now recognized that terrestrial vegetation plays a critical role in the recycling of biogenic Si (BSi) and the ultimate flux of Si to the coastal ocean. However\, these land-to-sea pathways are poorly constrained and we know little about how human activities directly alter the magnitude and timing of Si transport to the ocean. Additionally\, atmospheric Si deposition remains largely un-quantified. Within marine systems\, rates of BSi production\, dissolution\, and export by non-diatoms (e.g.\, sponges\, radiolarians\, and some cyanobacteria) are inadequately known\, as are rates of Si effluxes from hydrothermal vents. Moreover\, we lack data on rates of reverse weathering and low temperature basalt dissolution on continental margins and in the deep sea. This session will address key issues related to the biogeochemical cycling of Si\, including magnitude and rates of Si cycling in previously understudied reservoirs of the biosphere. We welcome contributions from terrestrial and aquatic systems\, including\, but not limited to\, rivers\, wetlands\, estuaries\, continental margins\, and the deep sea. \n  \n037 – Dynamics of Coupled Processes in the Ocean: A tribute to the career of Dr. James Murray \nOrganizers: Laurie Balistrieri\, USGS/UW Oceanography; Kathryn Kuivila\, USGS; Hans Jannasch\, MBARI \nWorking on research issues that cross discipline boundaries and involve multidisciplinary teams is both challenging and rewarding. Many of the fundamental science issues of our day\, such as climate change\, ocean acidification\, and human impacts on coastal oceans\, require researchers to bridge traditional disciplines and collectively work to synthesize a broader understanding of complex earth system processes at diverse scales. This session intends to bring together scientists who work on understanding the dynamics of coupled processes in the oceans\, provide opportunities for enhanced and new collaborations\, and pay tribute to the career of Dr. James Murray upon his retirement. The focus of his career has been interdisciplinary research in chemical oceanography and aquatic chemistry\, and we invite contributions from researchers involved in Dr. Murray’s main areas of research in coastal and open oceans: Particle reactive chemical tracers of biogeochemical processes; Role of iron and other metals in controlling food-web structure and new production; Carbon\, nitrogen\, and metal cycling across redox boundaries in sediments and water columns; Links among climate change\, ocean acidification\, and fossil fuel/energy supplies. \n  \n080 – Biogeochemistry of Trace Elements and their Isotopes \nOrganizers: Rob Middag\, University of Otago; Alessandro Tagliabue\, University of Liverpool; Peter Sedwick\, Old Dominion University; Claudine Stirling\, University of Otago; Andrew Bowie\, University of Tasmania; Jingfeng Wu\, University of Miami. \nTrace elements and their isotopes (TEIs) are critically important in regulating ocean biology\, as tracers of oceanic processes\, and as paleoceanographic tools. The past decade has seen major advances in our understanding of the distribution\, cycling\, and biogeochemical function of TEIs in the ocean\, afforded by the first basin-scale surveys completed as part of the CLIVAR and GEOTRACES programs\, and by concurrent advances in chemical and isotopic analysis\, numerical modeling and molecular biology. In this session\, we invite contributions that address the biogeochemical cycling of TEIs in the ocean\, with three main themes: (1) the distribution and physico- chemical speciation of TEIs in the ocean\, including results from recent GEOTRACES field activities and intercalibration efforts; (2) the exchange of TEIs between the lower atmosphere and the upper ocean; and (3) parallel studies of TEIs that inform our understanding of key regulatory processes\, including their input\, speciation\, biological cycling and removal. \n  \n092 – From VERTEX to GEOTRACES: honoring Ken Bruland’s contributions to marine biogeochemical cycles \nOrganizers: Gregory Cutter\, Old Dominion University; Ana Aguilar-Islas\, University of Alaska; Kristen Buck\, Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences; William Landing\, Florida State University; Maeve Lohan\, Plymouth University. \nStudying marine biogeochemistry requires highly interdisciplinary approaches that include multiple stable and radioactive elements\, appropriate analytical methods to reveal concentrations and chemical speciation\, collection methods to distinguish size fractionation\, and of course tight coupling with biological investigations. One of the leaders in marine biogeochemistry is Ken Bruland who started developing his pioneering methods in the mid 1970s\, refined them in the VERTEX cruises of the early 1980s\, and has continued changing biogeochemical paradigms into the present day GEOTRACES program. In honor of his retirement\, this session seeks presentations on\, or approaches to\, studying marine biogeochemical processes. These can range from bacteria to radionuclides\, trace to major elements\, atmosphere to sediments\, estuaries to the open ocean\, and present-day to paleoceanographic processes. \n  \n114 – Application of natural and anthropogenic radionuclides to the study of ocean processes \nOrganizers: Matt Charette\, WHOI; Marcus Christl\, ETH Zurich; Nuria Casacuberta\, ETH Zurich; Ken Buesseler\, WHOI. \nThe goal of GEOTRACES is to identify processes and quantify fluxes that control the distribution of trace elements and isotopes (TEIs) in the ocean\, and to establish the sensitivity of these distributions to changing environmental conditions. Natural uranium/thorium series\, anthropogenic and cosmogenic radionuclides\, with their in-built clocks\, their different input functions\, and contrasting geochemical properties and biological affinities are essential tools for interpreting lateral and vertical TEI distributions in the ocean. This session will focus on international GEOTRACES and other marine studies that employ radionuclides to quantify TEI particle cycling rates and fluxes\, land-derived inputs (e.g. groundwater\, rivers)\, bottom boundary layer processes (e.g. sediment resuspension\, hydrothermal vents) and atmospheric inputs. We further invite submissions on anthropogenic tracers from all compartments of the oceans (sea water\, sediments\, corals\, biota\, etc.)\, including studies that may help constrain or trace accidental (e.g. Chernobyl\, Fukushima) or authorized (e.g. nuclear reprocessing plants) releases into the ocean. Contributions related to observational studies and modeling applications are welcome\, as well as presentations on novel developments in radionuclide detection and sampling in the environment. \n  \n116 – Advances in approaches to assess metal-binding organic ligands and perspectives on the impacts of ligands on metal-biota interactions in the oceans \nOrganizers: Maeve Lohan\, University of Plymouth; Kristen Buck\, Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences; Sylvia Sander\, University of Otago. \nThe bioactive trace metals iron (Fe)\, copper (Cu)\, cobalt (Co)\, nickel (Ni)\, zinc (Zn) and cadmium (Cd) are essential micronutrients for marine phytoplankton and exert a major influence on the global carbon and nitrogen cycles. Fully understanding the marine carbon and nitrogen cycles is\, thus\, intimately tied to our efforts to determine the distribution\, chemical speciation and resulting bioavailability of trace metals to the marine biota. Complexation of these metals by organic ligands may enhance or reduce bioavailability depending upon the metal-ligand complex formed. Yet\, we know little about the composition\, source and provenance of metal-binding ligands\, which is hindering further advances in the field of trace metal biogeochemistry. New and fruitful collaborations between trace metal biogeochemists\, organic geochemists and biogeochemical modelers are being achieved through a SCOR working group (WG139) “Organic Ligands-A key control on trace metal cycling in the ocean”. We invite submissions to this session that highlight recent accomplishments in metal-binding ligand characterization and in approaches for assessing ligand distributions\, composition\, sources\, cycling processes\, and impacts on metal- biota interactions in the oceans. \n  \n146 – Marine micronutrient trace element cycling in oxygen minimum zones \nOrganizers: David Janssen\, University of Victoria; Maija Heller\, University of Southern California; Christina Schallenberg\, University of Victoria. \nThis session aims to further the understanding of the chemical speciation and biogeochemical cycling of micronutrient trace elements and macronutrients and their isotopes in ocean oxygen minimum zones (OMZs). Redox cycling of trace metals (e.g. Fe\, Cu\, Mn\, Co) and other aqueous species (e.g. SO42-/S2-) is known to significantly influence marine trace metal solubility and bioavailability. A growing body of data from OMZ waters\, through efforts such as the international GEOTRACES program\, illustrates the potential control of oxygen minima on regional and basin scale distributions of trace metals. Model projections predict that oxygen minima will intensify and will expand in spatial extent due to global climate change. Therefore\, increasing our understanding of the influence that oxygen minima exert on trace metal and macronutrient cycling and bioavailability is essential for explaining current and future oceanic distributions of bioactive trace metals and isotopes. This session welcomes contributions discussing the redox cycling\, sources\, sinks and speciation of trace elements and macronutrients and their isotopes in OMZ waters. \n  \n060 – Submarine Groundwater Discharge – from Ridge to Reef: Groundwater Evolution\, Climate\, Land-Use\, Coastal Hydrology and Marine Biogeochemical Impacts \nOrganizers: Steven Colbert\, University of Hawaii Hilo; Henrieta Dulaiova\, University of Hawaii; Craig R. Glenn\, University of Hawaii; Jason Adolf\, University of Hawaii \nSubmarine groundwater discharge (SGD) is now recognized as a significant source of biogeochemically important components to the coastal ocean. Groundwater discharge studies in diverse coastal systems are vitally important to establish baseline characteristics of current SGD behavior and its implications on coastal biogeochemistry before we can anticipate future effects of climate change\, sea level rise\, and population increase. This session invites presentations (both oral and poster) on 1) upstream processes that influence SGD from the land\, such as rock-water interactions\, watershed studies that examine natural and anthropogenic controls on groundwater recharge\, transport and composition\, including climate\, hydrogeology and land use; 2) measurement and modeling of SGD that reveal its spatial and temporal variability\, physicochemical properties\, as well as biogeochemical processes within the subterranean estuary; and 3) downstream coastal effects of SGD\, including biological response\, biogeochemistry\, chemical budgets of elements\, contaminant fates\, and coastal zone management. We seek to better understand the interplay between all of these factors\, and all contributions related to submarine groundwater discharge origins\, transformations\, fates and impacts of are welcome.
