4D Environmental Geometry: How Time and Space Shape Processes in the Polar Oceans

The Polar Marine Science GRS provides a unique forum for young doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to present their work, discuss new methods, cutting edge ideas, and pre-published data, as well as to build collaborative relationships with their peers. Experienced mentors and trainee moderators will facilitate active participation in scientific discussion to allow all attendees to be engaged participants rather than spectators.

The seminar will focus on the spatial and temporal variability of processes (and specific methodology applied) occurring in the polar oceans, with a particular emphasis on interfaces. The seminar will consist of presentations and poster sessions selected from submitted abstracts. As an introductory route to the Gordon Research Conference, the seminar will especially encourage early-career researchers to overcome any difficulty in speaking to a wider audience. In addition, the seminar will seek to unite science with technology, as these two disciplines are the cornerstones for the advancement of polar marine science.

Application Instructions

The seminar will feature approximately 10 talks and 2 poster sessions. All attendees are expected to actively participate in the GRS, either by giving an oral presentation or presenting a poster. Therefore, all applications must include an abstract.

The seminar chair will select speakers from abstracts submitted by November 27, 2022. Those applicants who are not chosen for talks and those who apply after the deadline to be considered for an oral presentation will be expected to present a poster. In order to participate, you must submit an application by the date indicated in the Application Information section above.
