This award provides funding to support the third and upcoming conference, the 2018 GRC on Ocean Global Change Biology to be held at the Waterville Valley Conference Center in Waterville Valley, NH on July 15-20, 2018. The study of global change biology in the oceans has emerged as a major area of focus for marine sciences. This area of research is multidisciplinary, encompassing biological, chemical and physical oceanography, along with marine ecology and evolutionary biology. This research community has previously been challenged in meeting to share data and advances made in this rapidly developing field of study. However, the inaugural Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Ocean Global Change Biology in July 2014, followed by a successful meeting in 2016, created an unprecedented opportunity for the U.S. science community to discuss and share cutting edge results in the retreat-like atmosphere of a Gordon Conference. Both meetings were very successful, with excellent attendance, particularly from early career scientists. This award for the 2018 GRC on Ocean Global Change Biology will support U.S. researchers in attending a meeting where ideas can be exchanged and research directions can be improved and advanced. These meetings are highly attended by scientists from other countries, thus creating an opportunity for U.S. marine scientists to develop international collaborations in this globally important area in biological oceanography. During the GRC itself and in the Gordon Research Seminar preceding it, the proposed project will support interdisciplinary training for graduate students and postdoctoral researchers. The seminar activities will advance the science communication skills and insights of the U.S. scientists during the 5-day meeting.This meeting will facilitate the sharing of new results, often times unpublished material, from investigators in Ocean Global Change Biology. Previous conferences served to highlight exciting new areas of research in the field and the third GRC on Ocean Global Change Biology will build upon these important emerging directions in 9 themes that comprise the actual 5-day conference. These include the need to focus on adaptation and evolutionary rescue as a possible response to climate change and multistressors, the use of genomics tools and next generation sequencing to facilitate the study of evolutionary response and gene expression patterns, a session on epigenetics in a global change context, the need to examine species interactions in the context of environmental change, to continue to explore the interaction of physical factors such as OA, temperature and deoxygenation of coastal waters, and finally to also examine ecosystem-level and bioenergetics consequences, where possible. In designing the new themes, the Chair (Dr. Gretchen Hofmann) and Vice Chair (Dr. Sinead Collins) have attempted to take into consideration a venue that will focus on these identified areas, and to also report on progress in this rapidly advancing field of ocean global change biology.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项为第三届即将举行的会议提供资金，即 2018 年海洋全球变化生物学 GRC 将于 2018 年 7 月 15 日至 20 日在新罕布什尔州沃特维尔谷的沃特维尔谷会议中心举行。海洋已成为海洋科学的一个主要关注领域。该研究领域是多学科的，包括生物、化学和物理海洋学，以及海洋生态学和进化生物学。该研究团体此前曾面临召开会议分享这一快速发展的研究领域的数据和进展的挑战。然而，2014 年 7 月首届戈登海洋全球变化生物学研究会议 (GRC) 以及随后于 2016 年成功召开的会议，为美国科学界在静修般的氛围中讨论和分享前沿成果创造了前所未有的机会。戈登会议。两次会议都非常成功，出席人数众多，特别是来自职业生涯早期的科学家。 2018 年 GRC 海洋全球变化生物学奖项将支持美国研究人员参加会议，交流想法并改进和推进研究方向。这些会议得到了来自其他国家的科学家的高度关注，从而为美国海洋科学家在生物海洋学这一全球重要领域开展国际合作创造了机会。在 GRC 期间以及之前的戈登研究研讨会期间，拟议项目将支持研究生和博士后研究人员的跨学科培训。研讨会活动将在为期 5 天的会议期间提高美国科学家的科学沟通技巧和见解。这次会议将促进海洋全球变化生物学研究人员分享新成果，通常是未发表的材料。之前的会议旨在突出该领域令人兴奋的新研究领域，第三届海洋全球变化生物学 GRC 将以这些重要的新兴方向为基础，分为 9 个主题，这些主题构成了为期 5 天的会议。其中包括需要重点关注适应和进化拯救作为对气候变化和多重压力的可能反应，使用基因组学工具和下一代测序来促进进化反应和基因表达模式的研究，全球变化中的表观遗传学会议在此背景下，需要在环境变化的背景下研究物种之间的相互作用，继续探索物理因素（例如 OA、温度和沿海水域脱氧）的相互作用，最后在可能的情况下还研究生态系统水平和生物能学后果。在设计新主题时，主席（Gretchen Hofmann 博士）和副主席（Sinead Collins 博士）尝试考虑一个重点关注这些已确定领域的场所，并报告这一快速发展领域的进展该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
