Organizers announce a final call for applications and registration for the 2017 Polar Marine Science Gordon Research Conference (GRC) entitled "Understanding Ecosystem Change through Time Series Observations, Technological Advances, and Biophysical Coupled Modeling." This conference will convene 26-31 March 2017 in Ventura, California.

The conference will bring together national and international scientist in Arctic and Antarctic marine research across all career levels to discuss new findings and uncertainties associated with marine time series data, use of developing technology for collecting those
observations, and to identify successes and challenges emerging from time series observations and biophysical modeling that can be used toaccurately forecast future ecosystem response.

Interested persons must apply to participate in the conference. Refer to the application instructions on the website for more details.

Prior to the GRC, a Polar Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) entitled "Advancing the Physical-Biological Understanding of Polar Marine Ecosystems through Innovative Technology" will convene 25-26 March 2017 to serve as a forum for early career scientists to present and exchange new data and cutting-edge ideas with experts in different fields of polar science related to emerging technologies.

Those wanting to attend both, the seminar and conference, must apply to each separately.

Conference application deadline: Sunday, 26 February 2017.
