The funding provided here will be used to support participation in a scientific workshop on the topic of what happens to iron deposited from the atmosphere to the surface of the ocean. Iron is required for the growth of phytoplankton. The availability of iron can limit the growth of phytoplankton and thus the overall productivity of the marine ecosystem. Workshop participants with expertise in atmospheric chemistry, organic geochemistry, photochemistry, chemical oceanography, dust/aerosol geochemistry, and various aspects of atmospheric, ocean, and Earth system modeling will be brought together to discuss the complicated problem of iron chemistry at the atmosphere-ocean interface, and its effects. At least one-third of workshop invitees will be early-career scientists. The primary product of the workshop will be a white paper outlining the state of knowledge and prioritizing future research directions.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.

此处提供的资金将用于支持参加一个科学研讨会，涉及从大气到海面沉积的铁所发生的话题。铁是浮游植物生长所必需的。铁的可用性可以限制浮游植物的生长，从而限制海洋生态系统的整体生产率。在大气化学，有机地球化学，光化学，化学海洋学，灰尘/气溶胶地球化学以及大气，海洋和地球系统建模的各个方面方面具有专业知识的研讨会参与者将汇集在一起​​，以讨论大气 - 界面界面上铁化学的复杂问题。至少有三分之一的研讨会被邀请人将是早期的科学家。该研讨会的主要产品将是一份白皮书，概述了知识的状态并确定了未来的研究指示。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响评估标准通过评估来获得支持的。
