[ISSHA] Open Science Meeting on Life History and Growth Dynamics of Harmful Algal Blooms in Fjords and Coastal Environments

[Henrik Enevoldsen]

GEOHAB announces:

 

Tuesday 29 May - Thursday 31 May 2012, Victoria, Canada

 

Open Science Meeting  on:

 

Progress in Interpreting Life History and Growth Dynamics of Harmful Algal Blooms in Fjords and Coastal Environments

 

Announcement for an Open Science Meeting sponsored by GEOHAB  
( http://www.geohab.info/ <http://www.geohab.info/> )

This second Open Science Meeting for the Core Research Project on HABs in
Fjords and Coastal Embayments will focus on four themes: (1) Life history of
HAB species; (2) Allelochemical interactions; (3) Genetic diversity and (4)
Transport and mixing of blooms in small-scale, mesoscale and semi-confined
systems.

The aim of the meeting is to highlight recent progress in evaluating the
processes and mechanisms involved in HAB dynamics, notably with respect to
genetic diversity, life history of key harmful species, allelochemical and
toxic interactions affecting HAB populations, and the importance of coastal
morphology, hydrodynamics and associated physical retention or dispersion of
cells within the coastal zone. Special attention will be devoted to the
comparative approach among sites where HABs occur, since this is a focus of
the international GEOHAB program.

The Coordinating Committee is composed of Allan Cembella, Leonardo Guzmán,
Marina Montresor, Suzanne Roy and Vera Pospelova. The local organizing
committee is composed of S. Roy and V. Pospelova.
Keynote speakers will include Don Anderson, Rhodora V. Azanza, Allan
Cembella, Esther Garcés, Drew Lucas, Marina Montresor,

The meeting will take place at University of Victoria on 29, 30 and 31 May
2012.

The number of participants is limited to 140. Selection will be based on
interest and motivation. Detailed information can be found on the
