The unique GRC format, with invited speakers and d iscussion leaders, provides an avenue for scientists from different fields to brainstorm and create synergy across disciplines. Conference themes are explored in greater detail during the highly dynamic poster sessions. One-m inute oral summaries of posters allow presenters to efficiently address the entire group, paving the way for enhanced interactions during the sessions . A GRC "Power Hour" will be held to help address the challenges women face in science and support the professional growth of women in our communities by providing an open forum for discussion and mentoring.\nSpatial and temp oral connections within polar oceans and between these oceans, adjacent sea s, land and the atmosphere are at the heart of variability and change in th e Arctic and Southern oceans. Exploring and understanding these connections can provide powerful insights into the past, present and future state of p olar marine ecosystems, including the local and regional aspects of ocean c irculation, sea ice dynamics, biogeochemical fluxes, biodiversity, harvesta ble living resources and human well-being. Because the Arctic and Southern oceans are nexuses that collect and redistribute organisms, chemical consti tuents, freshwater and heat, their transformations are also expected to aff ect lower-latitude "downstream" ocean areas at a variety of scales. The 12t h GRC will emphasize the multiple facets of connectivity through the presen tation of new observations and findings, conceptual frameworks and numerica l simulations that explore functional relationships between different compo nents of the polar marine system or the linkages between polar oceans and t he broader environment.\nA Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will occur the wee kend prior to the 2019 Polar GRC to provide a forum for graduate students a nd postdoctoral scientists to connect with their peers, present their work, and interact with mentors while exploring one of the GRC's themes. The maj or focus at the 2019 GRS will be on "Linking Marine Science Disciplines to Enhance Our Understanding of Polar Oceans". Partial financial support will be offered in priority to graduate students and postdoctoral fellows attend ing both the GRC and the preceding GRS.\nFor more information, see webseite : https://www.grc.org/polar-marine-science-conference/2019/\n X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:

Building on the tradition of excellence of the GRC Conference Series, th e 2019 GRC on Polar Marine Science "Shedding Light on the Physical, Biogeoc hemical and Human Dimensions of Connectivity in Changing Polar Seas" will b ring together leading investigators to present and discuss cutting edge res earch on both polar oceans. The unique GRC format, with invited speakers an d discussion leaders, provides an avenue for scientists from different fiel ds to brainstorm and create synergy across disciplines. Conference themes a re explored in greater detail during the highly dynamic poster sessions. On e-minute oral summaries of posters allow presenters to efficiently address the entire group, paving the way for enhanced interactions during the sessi ons. A GRC "Power Hour" will be held to help address the challenges women f ace in science and support the professional growth of women in our communit ies by providing an open forum for discussion and mentoring.

Spatial and temporal connections within polar oceans and between these oceans, adja cent seas, land and the atmosphere are at the heart of variability and chan ge in the Arctic and Southern oceans. Exploring and understanding these con nections can provide powerful insights into the past, present and future st ate of polar marine ecosystems, including the local and regional aspects of ocean circulation, sea ice dynamics, biogeochemical fluxes, biodiversity, harvestable living resources and human well-being. Because the Arctic and S outhern oceans are nexuses that collect and redistribute organisms, chemica l constituents, freshwater and heat, their transformations are also expecte d to affect lower-latitude "downstream" ocean areas at a variety of scales. The 12th GRC will emphasize the multiple facets of connectivity through th e presentation of new observations and findings, conceptual frameworks and numerical simulations that explore functional relationships between differe nt components of the polar marine system or the linkages between polar ocea ns and the broader environment.

A Gordon Research Seminar (GRS) will occur the weekend prior to the 2019 Polar GRC to provide a forum for gradua te students and postdoctoral scientists to connect with their peers, presen t their work, and interact with mentors while exploring one of the GRC's th emes. The major focus at the 2019 GRS will be on "Linking Marine Science Di sciplines to Enhance Our Understanding of Polar Oceans". Partial financial support will be offered in priority to graduate students and postdoctoral f ellows attending both the GRC and the preceding GRS.
