Open Science Meeting on Harmful Algal Blooms in Benthic Systems

Honolulu, 21-24 June, 2010


The IOC-SCOR Global Ecology and Oceanography of Harmful Algal Blooms
(GEOHAB) program is pleased to announce an open science meeting (OSM) on
HABs in Benthic Systems, to be held in Honolulu, Hawaii, USA on 21-24
June 2010.  The OSM will present the latest knowledge on the
environmental causes and controls of benthic HAB species, such as 
Gambierdiscus <http://cookislands.bishopmuseum.org/species.asp?id=8951>
and Ostreopsis, and will result in a plan for research to advance our
knowledge. The OSM will include plenary presentations, discussion
sessions, and a poster session. Abstracts should be contributed through
the registration website.


Early registration is open now (see 
http://www.confmanager.com/main.cfm?cid=2067) and will extend until 1
May 2010. 


Training Workshop: 'Taxonomy challenges and identification of benthic
dinoflagellates'


In conjunction with the meeting there will be a training workshop from
25 to 26 June on 'Taxonomy challenges and identification of benthic
dinoflagellates'. The training workshop will include microscopy and
molecular techniques.
