Rovinj, Croatia, 8-12 October 2007
This Chapman Conference will compare phytoplankton dynamics in coastal marine ecosystems where perturbations from terrestrial, atmospheric, oceanic sources and human activities converge to cause changes that ramify across local and global scales. The objective is to assemble and synthesize multi-decade observations toward quantitative and descriptive depictions of phytoplankton variability as an indicator of environmental change across the full diversity of coastal ecosystem types. The visions are a global phenology of phytoplankton at the land-sea margin and a conceptual model from which coastal ocean observing systems can be built.
Abstract deadline: 7 May 2007.
