Marine chemistry - A tribute to Professor Dennis Burton at Challenger 2012

Professor Dennis Burton passed away at the end of last year leaving a significant legacy in terms of his contributions to marine chemistry and also through his friendship with, and mentoring of, many colleagues and students in the field. This session provides a forum for those with interests in marine chemistry, geochemistry and biogeochemistry to present and discuss developments in these subject areas. Bringing people together to talk about their interesting ideas in a positive and friendly environment was a route Dennis was always keen to pursue in advancing the field.

Abstracts for talks and posters are most welcome on a wide variety of marine chemical, geochemical and biogeochemical topics. These can include, but are not restricted to, applications of isotopes to marine processes, palaeo- proxies informing our understanding of past climate, the distribution of trace elements and isotopes, sediment geochemistry, atmospheric inputs to the sea and estuarine chemistry.

Special session at Challenger 2012, Chairs Peter Statham, University of Southampton and Daniela Schmidt, University of Bristol.
