Workshop Objectives

(1) To assess the current state-of-knowledge regarding the role of rivers and associated margins in the global cycles of carbon and other bioactive elements.

(2) To identify, by community consensus, the major unresolved questions regarding RiOMar environments and their role in these global cycles. Outstanding "burning questions" will be prioritized as a means to focus future research efforts.

(3) To identify salient areas of research in which interdisciplinary and/or cross-cutting research approaches will be needed, and to evaluate the manner in which these various research approaches can be facilitated.
