Linking Marine Science Disciplines to Enhance Our Understanding of Polar Oceans

The Gordon Research Seminar on Polar Marine Science provides early career scientists with a unique opportunity to further enhance their Gordon Conference experience. The goal of this conference is to bring together graduate students and postdocs within all fields of polar marine science, including marine biology, chemistry, physics, geology, and technology to discuss interdisciplinary links and provide a basis for future collaborations. We especially encourage contributions that demonstrate interdisciplinary research approaches within and linking across the domains of atmosphere, sea ice, ocean, and benthos, including links to ice shelves, coasts, and human interactions.

The conference will consist of oral presentations selected from the submitted abstracts, and poster sessions. The conference will start with a keynote address from a senior scientist and conclude with a mentorship panel to provide participants with useful insights into potential career paths in polar marine science. Limited travel support might become available to attendees that indicate a need to the chairs before December 16, 2018.
