PICES 12th Annual Meeting

 

Scientific Program
The Keynote Lecture at the Opening Session will be given by Prof. Suam Kim (Department of Marine Biology, Pukyong National University, Busan), on "Application of otolith chemistry to interpret some issues on oceanic variability and fisheries".

S1: Science Board Symposium (0.75 day)
Human dimensions of ecosystem variability

Co-Convenors: R. Ian Perry (SB), Vladimir I. Radchenko (BIO), Yukimasa Ishida (FIS), John E. Stein (MEQ), Kuh Kim (POC), Igor I. Shevchenko (TCODE), and Harold P. Batchelder & Makoto Kashiwai (CCCC).

S2: POC/BIO Topic Session (1 day)
Physical and biological responses of coastal ocean ecosystems and estuaries to inputs of freshwater

Co-Convenors: Michael J. Dagg (U.S.A.) & Yury I. Zuenko (Russia).

Freshwater input affects physical and biological processes in many ways. Properties of the receiving waters are directly modified by fresh water and its constituents, but impacts also extend to include the entire water column and sea-bed. Time and space scales over which these modifications occur vary with factors such as scales of freshwater discharge, dissolved and particulate composition of materials in the freshwater discharge, latitude of discharge (which affects the magnitude of Coriolis acceleration, the light environment and the temperature regime, which in turn affect biological rates), wind and tides (which affect circulation and surface layer behavior) and bottom topography of the receiving basin. Meteorology and climatology also affect the linkages and pathways between freshwater inputs, physical responses, lower trophic level responses and higher trophic level responses. This session will explore ways in which the inputs of freshwater and its dissolved and particulate constituents influence physical and biological processes, including higher trophic levels, in the receiving waters of estuarine and coastal ocean systems.
