Polar Marine Science
Oceanography, Climate Science and conference by Gordon Research Conferences
About
The meeting examines disputed and unresolved questions about rapidly changing Arctic and Southern oceans. It brings circulation, ecology and biogeochemistry together to consider sea-ice loss, freshwater inputs, deep-water formation, primary production and climate-active aerosols.
Sessions emphasize why these processes remain difficult to measure and explain, including feedbacks on planetary reflectivity and atmospheric composition. Comparisons with ancient ice-covered oceans and oceans on other worlds broaden the discussion. Attendance requires a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering, or an accepted equivalent. Applications are subject to selection and available capacity.
