Gordon Research Seminar

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Ocean Global Change Biology is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

While a single organism alters chemical gradients on a sub-microscopic level, the cumulative impact of marine ecosystems controls global biogeochemical cycles. This meeting seeks to synthesize organism-environment interactions over this wide range of spatial scales, within an individual's lifetime and as it is propagated through generations. We encourage individual, population, community and ecosystem level studies.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Ocean Global Change Biology" Gordon Research Conference (GRC). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
