Gordon Research Seminar

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

Venue and Travel Information

Conference Description

The Polar Marine Science GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

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.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Polar Marine Science" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
