Subject: [ISSHA] Ninth Session of the Intergovernmental Panel on HAB
Message-ID: <F77E1E3DDAB0834AAE8334E07A74915E37612B@MAILSERVER.akizci.ku.dk>

Dear HAB Community,

 

The Ninth Session of Intergovernmental Panel on Harmful Algal Blooms
(IPHAB) is planned for 22-24 April 2009 - see invitation at 
http://www.ioc-unesco.org/hab/index.php?option=com_oe&task=viewDoclistRe
cord&doclistID=70  where you will also find current list of Members of
IPHAB as well as other working documents for the session.

 

IPHAB is a mechanism to discuss, develop and organize international and
regional cooperation on HAB. At this coming session the focus will in
particular be:

 

*	Capacity building
*	The GEOHAB Research Programme
*	Biotoxin Regulation and Human Health
*	The Harmful Algae Information System and the International Ocean
Data Exchange
*	HAB observations and their inclusion in GOOS Regional Alliances
*	Harmful algal events, coastal zone management and linkages with
coastal eutrophication
*	Formulation/endorsement of specific objectives for regional
activities

 

The Agenda is furthermore open to the priorities of Member States.

 

For IPHAB to be an effective and useful mechanism it is of paramount
importance that its members are either:

 

1.	Managers and decision makes at an appropriate high level to be
able to discuss policies and make commitments
2.	Scientists or managers that come well prepared with a strong and
clear mandate to speak on behalf of the relevant governmental
authorities or institutions.

 

 Check at 
http://www.ioc-unesco.org/hab/index.php?option=com_oe&task=viewDoclistRe
cord&doclistID=70 if your country is already involved in IPHAB, and if
not, you might wish to contact your national IOC focal point. If you do
not have the contact details for your national IOC focal point these can
be requested from Virginie Bonnet at v.bonnet at unesco.org .

 

Best regards, 
  
 Henrik Enevoldsen
IOC Programme Coordinator
Technical Secretary  IPHAB

Subject: [ISSHA] Last call: IOC Training Course and Identification
	Qualification in Harmful Marine Microalgae 2008
Message-ID: <F77E1E3DDAB0834AAE8334E07A74915E37620D@MAILSERVER.akizci.ku.dk>

We still have a few vacant seats at:

 

IOC Training Course and Identification Qualification in Harmful Marine Microalgae 2008:

The course includes 90 hours of teaching and is divided into two parts, each consisting of 45 hours of teaching. The first part of the course is an internet teaching programme, while the second part is a practical workshop in species identification. The course is organised by the University of Copenhagen, Denmark.

The Course includes an examination at the end of the course with an IOC Certificate of Proficiency in Identification of Harmful Algae issued to participants who pass the examination.

If there are more applicants than available seats, priority will be given to applicants who have direct research or management responsibilities with regard to the occurrence of harmful algae. 

Dates:

Mandatory E-learning part:  Over 4-5 weeks in the period May-July, to be arranged when enough applicants have signed up.

Practical course at University of Copenhagen tentative dates: 18-28 August 2008.

 

Venue:

IOC Science and Communication Centre on Harmful Algae, Department of Biology, University of Copenhagen, Denmark c/o Danhostel, Hiller?d.

 

Content:


Part I - Distant learning: The distant learning programme consists of 8 modules including an introduction to the teaching platform. There is a short introductory text to each module, and at the beginning of this text is given a list of suggested reading, which will usually include selected chapters (supplied as PDF-files on a CD-rom) or paragraphs of the general text book(s) used in the course. All exercises are mandatory. This part of the course includes 45 hours of teaching or a work load of about one working day per week for six weeks.


Part II - Workshop on species identification:  The workshop will focus on identification of harmful algal species, with particular reference to the 'IOC Taxonomic Reference List on Toxic Plankton Algae'. During the workshop species will be demonstrated either as cultures (*subject to the availability of cultures at the Scandinavian Culture Collection of Algae and Protozoa) or as preserved material. 

More details and application form at: http://www.ioc-unesco.org/hab/# <http://www.ioc-unesco.org/hab/>   see under activities.
