Abstract Submission is now closed.

Oral and poster abstracts are now invited on the following topics and should be submitted using the online abstract submission system.

The abstract deadline for oral and poster submissions is: 13 January 2012

Ecosystem structure and functioning – type habitats (coastal lagoons, estuaries, wetlands, sandy beaches, biodiversity, etc)
Systems analysis – physics, chemistry and biology; organism-environment links, nutrient fluxes and eutrophication in coastal systems, trophic webs in coastal systems, ecohydrology; Challenging techniques – use, revision and development (e.g. stable isotopes and other techniques)
Anthropogenic change – Response, trends and effects; solutions, indicators, tools for management; causes of loss of habitat (e.g. oxygen decline/anoxia), Challenging techniques for assessment and for the restoration of systems
Ecosystem services and societal benefits – links to management: fisheries/food resources, physical resources used by society; links to biodiversity and functioning; links to marine governance, tools for management, Challenging techniques
Valuing ecosystems - cultural and economic aspects, economic techniques, links to societal benefits resulting from ecosystem services
‘Future-proofing the science’ – climate change scenarios, changing environments including repercussions of temperature changes, freshwater balance and sea level rise (including sinking areas), impact on coastal zones; acidification; Disaster management in coastal systems – techniques and approaches for dealing with climate change, Challenging techniques, uncertainty analysis and the (in)adequacy of our science
