Second annual ELOISE conference
30 September 1998 - 30 September 1998
Spain
The second annual ELOISE (European Land Ocean Interaction Studies) conference will take place in Huelva, Spain, from 30 September to 3 October 1998. It will be hosted by the University of Huelva.
The ELOISE project is jointly implemented by the European Union's MAST (Marine Science and Technology) and Environment and Climate programmes. It represents a coordinated European input to the international core project LOICZ (Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone). The conference will provide second year status reports for the first fifteen ELOISE projects and first year status reports for new projects.
The objectives of ELOISE are:
- To determine the role of coastal seas in land-ocean interactions (including shelf-deep sea interactions along the shelf break) in the perspective of global change;
- To determine the regional and global consequences of human impact through pollution, eutrophication and physical disturbance on land-ocean interactions in the coastal zone;
- To formulate a strategic approach to the management of sustainable coastal zone resource use and development, and to investigate information, policy and market failures that hamper sustainable coastal resources management;
- To promote the development of a European scientific infrastructure for coastal zone research and data management that can optimize both national and regional research and the benefits accruing from it.
The main objective of the conference is to provide a forum for discussion of all aspects related to coastal zones and the interchanges between the ocean and the land. Plenary and parallel sessions will consist of keynote talks and oral presentations of scientific results from current ELOISE projects. The five main themes to be addressed will be:
- Global change and biogeochemical cycles and fluxes;
- Ecosystem structure and functioning and human impacts;
- Coastal zone management;
- Modelling and data management;
- Integration of natural and socio-economic sciences in coastal zone research.
Participants in ELOISE projects may register free of charge for the conference, provided their applications are received by 15 June 1998. Otherwise, the deadline for registration is 3 July 1998. The deadline for submission of abstracts is 17 July 1998.
