Conference Description
The 2022 GRC on Ocean Biogeochemistry will focus on biogeochemical processes that occur across space and time in the ocean. Oral and poster presentations and discussions will address current topics ranging from deoxygenation, elemental cycles mediated by keystone organisms and viruses, carbon pumps, processes in high latitude oceans and shelf seas, to processes in past and future oceans. The program is currently being developed by the conference chairs, and the preliminary program, including invited speakers and discussion leaders, will be available by August 1, 2021.
The 2022 GRC will be preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Ocean Biogeochemistry, open to graduate students and postdocs interested in marine biogeochemistry and related fields. The GRS will provide a forum for early career researchers to present and discuss results from their research in a peer-to-peer setting in advance of the GRC.
The conference will consist of nine sessions, on the topics listed below. The conference chair is currently developing their preliminary program, which will include the names of the invited speakers and discussion leaders for each of these sessions. The preliminary program will be available by August 1, 2021. Please check back for updates.
