POC- PICES - North Pacific Marine Science Organization

Physical Oceanography and Climate Scientific Committee

Acronym: POC

Parent Committee: SB

Chairman: Kyung-Il Chang <kichang@snu.ac.kr>

Vice-Chairman: Michael Foreman <mike.foreman@dfo-mpo.gc.ca>

Mailing List (POC Members only)

Key Tasks:

The POC Committee's area of responsibility is to promote and coordinate physical and chemical oceanography, atmospheric science, and interdisciplinary research in the northern North Pacific. Impacts of climate variability and physical dynamics in coastal, shelf and open ocean areas are considered with emphasis on processes that relate to living marine resources and environmental quality.
