We would like to inform you that the 2022 Gordon Research Conference (GRC) on Ocean Biogeochemistry will take place on May 1-6, 2022, in Castelldefels, near Barcelona, Spain. The Conference 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. A detailed program along with information on travel and venue and applications can found online at https://www.grc.org/ocean-biogeochemistry-conference/2022/. Applications for this meeting must be submitted by April 3, 2022. Please apply early, as some meetings become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. Check the Conference website for updates. 

The 2022 GRC will be preceded by a Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) on Ocean Biogeochemistry (April 30 - May 1), 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. Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRS in addition to an application for the GRC. Refer to the associated GRS program page for more information.

The 2022 GRC on Ocean Biogeochemistry is chaired by Chuanlun Zhang (Southern University of Science and Technology, China) and Susanne Neuer (Arizona State University, USA), with Adina Paytan (University of California, Santa Cruz, USA) and Fei Chai (Second Institute of Oceanography, China / University of Maine, USA; IOCCP SSG member) serving as vice-chairs.
