AMSA2009 Marine Connectivity

Dates: Sunday 5th – Thursday 9th July 2009
WWW: www.amsaconference.com.au
Location: Adelaide, Australia

description

The conference will be the 46th Annual Conference for the Australian Marine Sciences Association Inc.

The marine environment is multi-dimensional and highly complex, with processes interlinked across the oceans’ spheres and constituents. Single-discipline approaches are increasingly coming to a limit in their power to explain processes and their implications. In recent years, more and more marine scientists have started to consider how organisms or chemicals are linked across habitats and scales. This conference will provide a forum to discuss the state of the art for investigating marine connectivity, novel approaches and technical advances, and the meaning of connectivity in the oceans and coastal seas.

The conference will address the “What”, “Where & How” and “Why” of marine connectivity. Molecules, sediments and nutrients are transported and transformed by processes operating over various scales within the oceans. Marine organisms are dispersing or migrating in various life stages across interfaces or into adjacent habitats. Connectivity has implications for biogeographic distributions, resilience and resource management and protection. Further sessions will be dedicated to novel methods to study connectivity, and on improved networking of the scientific community.
