The seminar will focus on the spatial and temporal variability of processes (and specific methodology applied) occurring in the polar oceans, with a particular emphasis on interfaces. The seminar will consist of presentations and poster sessions selected from submitted abstracts. As an introductory route to the Gordon Research Conference, the seminar will especially encourage early-career researchers to overcome any difficulty in speaking to a wider audience. In addition, the seminar will seek to unite science with technology, as these two disciplines are the cornerstones for the advancement of polar marine science.

4D Environmental Geometry: How Time and Space Shape Processes in the Polar Oceans

Meteorology and Climate Change,    Earth Observation, Global Positioning System

The 13th GRC on Polar Marine Science will highlight recent advances in the understanding of physical-chemical-biological linkages and feedback processes across coupled ocean-cryosphere-atmosphere-ecosystems of the Arctic and Southern oceans. Special emphasis will be given to understand impacts on polar marine species, food webs and habitats. Sessions will highlight recent advance in polar climate change detection and attribution, impacts of multiple stressors on biota, changes in habitat distribution, integrated approaches to collect multi-disciplinary observations, and novel methods to analyze and link long-term time-series data with conceptual and numerical models.

Integrating Ocean Physics and Biogeochemistry to Assess Polar Ecosystem Sensitivity to Rapid Change

The ocean is under threat from a host of pressures, but none loom larger than those caused by greenhouse gas pollution, which drives overheating and acidification. Ocean heating is in turn causing deoxygenation, sea level rise, and disruption of critical marine ecosystem functions and services.

This meeting will provide a forum for discussing of the role of both on- and off-axis hydrothermal fluxes in regulating ocean biogeochemistry and the Earth system, and the feedbacks between the Earth’s surface environment and hydrothermal fluxes. The meeting will consider all timescales from the modern (e.g., insights and outstanding questions based on recent GEOTRACES work) through to the role of hydrothermal systems on the early Earth and exoplanets (e.g., waterworlds). We aim to bring together researchers from diverse research fields with the hope of initiating new interdisciplinary research.
