The Gordon Research Seminar on Polar Marine Science 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.

The GRS will allow attendees to exchange and communicate their research within the young scientific community but also with the senior mentoring scientists present. We will evolve from small scale to the larger scale for both the Arctic and the Antarctic, the different disciplines will be covered within the different scales of study.

The meeting 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.

Applications for this meeting must be submitted by February 14, 2015. Any applicants who wish to be considered for an oral presentation should submit their application by December 14, 2014. Please apply early, as some meetings become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. If the meeting is oversubscribed, it will be stated here. Note: Applications for oversubscribed meetings will only be considered by the Conference Chair if more seats become available due to cancellations.

The Chairs will select speakers from abstracts submitted by December 14, 2014. 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.

The Polar Marine Science Gordon Research Seminar will be held in conjunction with the Polar Marine Science Gordon Research Conference. Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Please refer to the Polar Marine Science GRC web page for more information.
