abstract: The theme “Oceans, Poles and Climate: Technological Challenges” will enable scientists and engineers from all over the world to discuss and debate the technological challenges raised by the study of the on-going transformation of Polar and non-polar oceans

abstract: The BIOCAT (Biogeochemical Interactions between the Ocean and the Atmosphere) Summer School has the goal to advance education of the next generation of environmental scientists.

abstract: This summer program will bring together the atmospheric and oceanic components of Mediterranean climate variability providing education across disciplines. Topics include the global and regional atmospheric mechanisms dominating the Mediterranean Climate,

abstract: The conference is centered on all aspects of marine research in the North Atlantic.

abstract: MedCLIVAR aims to coordinate and promote research on the Mediterranean climate. The main goals include reconstruction of its past evolution, description of patterns and mechanisms characterizing its space-time variability, and identification of the forcing parameters responsible for the observed changes. Emphasis is put on identification of trends present in observational records as well as on climate predictions under future emission scenarios. The study of the occurrence of extreme events -closely related to climate variability and change- and of climate change

abstract: Welcome to the 19th installment of the Ocean Optics Conference. From the inception, the Ocean Optics Conference series has attracted a diverse audience of professionals and students addressing virtually every facet of optical oceanography including basic research, technological development, environmental management, and policy. Over the course of the 40 year history of the series, the conference has increased in scope and attendance and has become spiced with topics of local interest as the venues have become more varied and representative of the international oceanographic community.

abstract: The symposium theme The Changing Ocean: From Past to Future will bring together scientists who contributed to SCOR's history, as well as the new generation that will be entrusted with the field's future.

abstract: Shallow Survey 2008, The Fifth International Conference on High-Resolution Surveys in Shallow Water will be hosted by the University of New Hampshire's Center for Coastal and Ocean Mapping and the UNH Joint Hydrographic Center (CCOM/JHC) in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, October 2008.

Following the tradition established for this series of conferences, a 'common data set' will be collected in the waters around Portsmouth and made available well before the conference. The number of participants will be limited to ensure that the meeting will maintain its focus and provide a lively venue for the interchange of new ideas about the challenges facing those charged with all aspects of shallow water surveying.

abstract: The conference goal is to bring together students in physical oceanography and related fields of environmental fluid dynamics, atmospheric physics, biophysical interactions and ocean-atmosphere interactions.

abstract: The North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), an intergovernmental scientific organization, was established in 1992 to promote and coordinate marine research in the northern North Pacific and adjacent seas. Its present members are Canada, Japan, People's Republic of China, Republic of Korea, the Russian Federation, and the United States of America.

abstract: At the closure of the 2006 edition in Antalya it has been announced that MWWD Conference’s series was continuing towards the 5th issue in 2008. After the preliminary evaluation the possibility of moving to other continents and other seas, it was decided to remain, at least once more, around the Mediterranean, and the possible seat in the Dalmatian coast of Croatia – Dubrovnik – has been presented

The preliminary agreements with the Croatian Partners have been consolidated and the venue has been chosen in Cavtat, a nice town not far from the old city of Dubrovnik.

abstract: The workshop will bring together an international group of scientists to plan future scientific ocean drilling expeditions to the Arctic Ocean that seek to understand this ocean basin, and the global climate system.

abstract: The conference will bring together scientists and graduate students of both modeling and observational aspects of atmospheric and oceanic climate variability on interannual to centennial time scales.

abstract: The conference will focus primarily on the structure and biogeochemical cycling of Arctic marine ecosystems in a period of rapid climate changes. The conference will also focus upon sustainable management of Arctic regions.

abstract: This conference will cover all aspects of the meteorology and oceanography of the Southern Hemisphere.

abstract: The purpose of the meeting is to assess the general utility of the Argo array and its future direction.

abstract: As part of the SPIE Defense and Security Symposium, the Ocean Sensing and Monitoring conference will be held April 13-17, 2009 in Orlando, Florida. This conference provides an unique opportunity and forum to present R&D efforts associated with oceanic and littoral environments that relate to defense and homeland security issues.

The deadline for abstracts is Sept 29, 2008.

abstract: Issues on Climate change had been a long term debate. It had been started on 1970's, based on a paradigm that everything in the world is interconnected, such that when irresponsible environment's unfriendly activities pursue, like deforestations and green house gases waste producing ones, an atmospheric hole will be formed causing an atmospheric temperature increase and in turn making polar ice melt and seawater rise. An overal change of wind characteristics and oceanic current accrue, and thusly the climate change. To date the issue imposes a central discourse in politics and science alike, due to its impacts to the world and its foreseeable future.

abstract: This conference will be of interest to scientists, engineers and representatives from governments and companies, which are active in marine research and technological development. The main topics cover new methods and technologies in ocean exploration.

abstract: The productivity and diversity of marine ecosystems act as invaluable natural resource which is vital to the survival and well being of the human kind. This is especially crucial for a maritime nations like Malaysia. Today, increasing human activities such as over-fishing, coastal development, pollution, introduction of exotic species and climate change have caused significant damage that could pose a serious threat to this fragile environment.

Marine resource management has become one of the most challenging problems faced by nations worldwide. Transboundary and integrated marine resource management strategies are crucial to ensure the future sustainability of the ecosystem. Hence it is timely to initiate this International Conference on Marine Ecosystem which focuses on discussing and addressing issues related to challanges in maintaining the sustainability of the ecosystem. This conference offers an opportunity for marine experts to share and explore cutting edge technology and knowledge in marine sciences to ensure long term stability of this natural heritage.

abstract: The international conference theme is “Partnerships at Work: Local Implementation and Good Practices” that will highlight initiatives and good practices covering key aspects of coastal and marine resource management and how interregional, interagency and multisectoral partnerships contributing to regional and international environmental targets. The EAS Congress 2009 is being organized by the Partnerships in Environmental Management for the Seas of East Asia (PEMSEA) together with the Department of Environment of Natural Resources (DENR) of the Philippines and supported by the Global Environment Facility, United Nations Development Programme, United Nations Office for Project Services and Coastal Management Center.
