This award will provide the major funding to the Skidaway Institute of Oceanography to convene a Symposium on Ocean Carbon Cycles to be held February 23-26, 2009 in Savannah, Georgia. The primary goal of this conference is to bring together investigators studying various aspects of ocean carbon cycling and to have them discuss their approaches and progress in addressing analytical, methodological and conceptual challenges pivotal to the study of carbon cycles during a period of climate change. The presentation of ?cutting edge? material and informal exchange of scientific ideas among scientists with different experiences and expertise are vital to the continued development of marine biogeochemistry as a whole. The Symposium will assemble about 80 participants, including graduate students and researchers ranging from recent PhDs to 30-year veterans. The Symposium will be organized around four sessions: (1) Carbon cycling as seen through the filter of biomarkers- what do we know and what do we need? (2) Marine Margins: Passive or aggressive players in biogeochemical cycles? (3) Paleoproxies: Carts and horses or chickens and eggs? (4) What questions should we be asking about ocean biogeochemical changes during the next century? Session topics have been selected to provide a prospective view of carbon cycling in an Anthropocene ocean. A special issue of an appropriate Journal (i.e. Marine Chemistry or Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta), will be dedicated to coverage of the Symposium. All speakers will be invited to contribute papers for the special issue and session chairs will provide summaries and syntheses of each session. Symposium participants will also be invited to contribute short papers on related topics to the special issue. All contributions will be subject to peer review. All four of the session chairs have been selected and a slate of speakers has been identified. The speakers will seek to provide insight to state-of-the-art research topics, whereas session chairs will strive to create an environment conducive to lively discussion. To complement the support provided by NSF through this award, other funds have been secured through the Petroleum Research Fund and Geochemical Society. Broader Impacts: Integration of research and education in this symposium will be enhanced by the involvement of a large number (15+) of graduate students. Graduate students will be involved in all aspects of the proposed symposium, including poster presentations, round table discussions and discussions between talks, and the submission of manuscripts covering their research. The symposium is also organized to have many young scientists as speakers in the four sessions. This emphasis ensures that the information presented at the symposium reaches those who will be shaping the future in marine biogeochemistry. The planned publication of the research findings and primary consensus of needs and opportunities also makes the proceedings of the symposium available to a broad spectrum of the scientific community.

该奖项将为Skidaway海洋学研究所提供主要资金，以召集将于2009年2月23日至26日在佐治亚州萨凡纳举行的海洋碳周期研讨会。 这次会议的主要目的是将研究海洋碳循环各个方面的研究人员汇集在一起​​，并让他们讨论他们的方法和进展，以解决在气候变化期间研究碳循环的分析，方法论和概念挑战。尖端的介绍？具有不同经验和专业知识的科学家之间科学思想的物质和非正式交流对于整个海洋生物地球化学的持续发展至关重要。研讨会将组装约80名参与者，包括研究生和研究人员，从最近的博士学位到30年的退伍军人。研讨会将在四个会议上进行组织：（1）通过生物标志物的过滤器所见，碳循环 - 我们知道什么，我们需要什么？ （2）海洋边缘：生物地球化学周期中的被动或侵略性玩家？ （3）古代型：手推车，马，鸡和鸡蛋？ （4）关于下个世纪的海洋生物地球化学变化，我们应该问哪些问题？已经选择了会议主题，以提供人类世海中碳循环的前瞻性视图。适当的期刊（即海洋化学或地球模型及其cosmochimica acta）的特刊将致力于覆盖研讨会。将邀请所有发言人为特刊撰写论文，会议主持人将提供每个会议的摘要和合成。研讨会参与者还将被邀请撰写有关特刊的相关主题的简短论文。所有贡献都将受到同行评审的约束。已经选择了所有四个会议椅，并确定了一组扬声器。演讲者将寻求对最先进的研究主题的见识，而会议主持人将努力创造一个有利于生动讨论的环境。为了补充NSF通过该奖项提供的支持，其他基金是通过石油研究基金和地球化学社会确保的。更广泛的影响：通过大量研究生（15多个）的参与，将增强研究和教育的整合。研究生将参与拟议的研讨会的各个方面，包括海报演示，圆桌讨论和谈判之间的讨论以及涵盖其研究的手稿。该研讨会还组织了四个会议中的许多年轻科学家作为演讲者。这种强调可确保在研讨会上提供的信息达到那些将在海洋生物地球化学中塑造未来的人。计划发现的计划出版物以及需求和机会的主要共识也使专题讨论会的诉讼也可以供广泛的科学界。
