In June 2013, the Coastal Ocean Circulation Gordon Research Conference (GRC) and an associated Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will be held at the University of New England to advance our understanding of coastal ocean circulation, and to enhance the development of junior scholars. The Gordon Research Conference brings together a diverse set of scholars working in coastal and estuarine oceanography to share the latest discoveries and theories in both formal presentation and informal settings. The Gordon Research Seminar, which will be held the weekend prior to the GRC and is a new addition for 2013, is a one day workshop organized and administered by graduate students and postdoctoral scholars to provide them with an opportunity to share their work and to develop connections with peers. Discussions with other GRC chairs have indicated that the inclusion of a GRS has facilitated the interaction of graduate students with senior scientists during the GRC itself. The Coastal Ocean Circulation GRC is widely held to be the most important meeting in the community scientifically, and it is almost certainly the most valuable conference for scholars early in their careers due to the opportunities for interaction with colleagues spanning a wide range of career stages. Intellectual MeritThe program for the 2013 Coastal Ocean Circulation GRC will highlight the latest developments in the field, both scientifically and technologically, and will synthesize recent advances in the understanding of the physical processes determining circulation and mixing in the coastal ocean. Invited speakers have been drawn from international leaders and emerging stars in the field, and lectures will address diverse range of topics, including a range of physical processes, the dynamics of specific environments, interdisciplinary applications, and technological development. The steering committee members will also serve as discussion leaders and will work to ensure provocative discussion that is inspired by the lectures. This free exchange of ideas is a hallmark of the Gordon Research Conferences in general, and is one of the characteristics that make this meeting so important in the field of coastal and estuarine physical oceanography. Almost half of the conference time is allocated to informal interactions among participants, which is extremely effective at aiding the development of junior scientists, and reinforces the free and open discussion culture of the GRC.Broader ImpactsOver the last decade, the coastal ocean circulation GRC has made a concerted effort to ensure participation by women and under-represented minorities, as well as scientists with disabilities. This year, the GRS offers a new opportunity to engage these groups in the GRC, and we will take explicit steps to reach out and ensure their participation, most notably through travel and registration grants to students and postdoctoral scholars from these groups. For 2013, the scientific steering committee, which is itself diverse in its members, has ensured that the invited speakers include members of groups that are traditionally under-represented in the field. This is particularly valuable at the GRC, where the informal interactions of the week provide an opportunity for members of under-represented groups that are established in their careers to provide mentoring to and to become role models for more junior scientists. Past GRC's have led to new collaborations that cut across disciplines and career stages, and have provided opportunities for junior scientists to build their careers. The addition of the GRS in 2013 will reinforce this attribute of the meeting, and will provide the students in attendance an opportunity to develop confidence in their work, and to establish connections with both their peers and senior scientists that are much deeper than those that are possible at other scientific meetings.

2013年6月，将在新英格兰大学举行沿海海洋循环戈登研究会议（GRC）和相关的戈登研究研讨会（GRS），以促进我们对沿海海洋循环的了解，并增强初级学者的发展。戈登研究会议汇集了一套在沿海和河口海洋学工作的学者，在正式演讲和非正式环境中分享了最新的发现和理论。戈登研究研讨会将在GRC之前的周末举行，是2013年的新成员，是一日工作坊，由研究生和博士后学者组织和管理，为他们提供了分享自己的工作并与同伴建立联系的机会。与其他GRC椅子的讨论表明，在GRC本身期间，将GRS的纳入促进了研究生与高级科学家的相互作用。沿海海洋循环GRC被广泛认为是社区中最重要的会议，这几乎可以肯定是学者在职业生涯初期最有价值的会议，这是由于与各个职业阶段的同事互动的机会。知识分子值得2013年沿海海洋循环GRC的计划将在科学和技术上强调该领域的最新发展，并将综合在理解确定沿海海洋循环和混合的物理过程方面的最新进展。邀请的演讲者来自该领域的国际领导者和新兴明星，讲座将介绍各种主题，包括一系列物理过程，特定环境的动态，跨学科应用程序和技术发展。指导委员会成员还将作为讨论领导者，并将努力确保受讲座启发的挑衅性讨论。这种自由交流的思想是戈登研究会议的标志，并且是使这次会议在沿海和河口物理海洋学领域如此重要的特征之一。几乎一半的会议时间分配给了参与者之间的非正式互动，这在有助于初级科学家的发展方面非常有效，并加强了GRC的免费和开放的讨论文化。BardOakerImpactsover在过去的十年中，沿海海洋循环GRC已协调一致的努力，以确保妇女和少数少数族裔的参与以及不属于少数群体的不足和不利于科学的科学。今年，GRS提供了一个新的机会，可以将这些团体参与GRC，我们将采取明确的步骤来伸出援手并确保他们的参与，尤其是通过向这些小组的学生和博士后学者提供的旅行和注册赠款。在2013年，科学指导委员会本身在其成员中是多元化的，已确保受邀发言人包括传统上代表不足的团体的成员。这在GRC中尤其有价值，在该GRC中，本周的非正式互动为成员的职业成员提供了一个机会，这些群体是在其职业生涯中建立的，可以为更多初级科学家提供指导并成为榜样。过去的GRC导致了新的合作，从而削减了学科和职业阶段，并为初级科学家提供了建立职业生涯的机会。 2013年加入GRS将加强会议的这一属性，并将为出席会议的学生提供对他们的工作充满信心的机会，并与他们的同龄人和高级科学家建立联系，这些科学家比其他科学会议上可能会更深入。
