Welcome to ECSA’s next major symposium, ECSA 56 Coastal systems in transition: From a 'natural' to an 'anthropogenically-modified' state, which will take place from the 4-7 September 2016 in Bremen, Germany.Humans are drivers of and affected by global change. Human-induced global climate and regional environmental change dramatically modify the structures and functions of coastal systems driving them into a new system state. The altered resource potentials and ecosystem services then, in turn, significantly affect the livelihoods of the population.Distinguishing between natural and anthropogenic control factors and quantifying their impacts is a major challenge in the investigation of hydrodynamic, sedimentological, biogeochemical, ecological and socioeconomic processes in the coastal zone.Inter- and transdisciplinary efforts are required to gain a profound understanding of these "novel" systems, which provides the basis for a sustainable management.ECSA 56 brings together a global multi-disciplinary community of researchers and professionals to discuss and address issues of outstanding scientific importance in the science and management of estuaries and coastal seas in this rapidly changing world. ...

At present, we intend to host the ECSA 59 conference onsite in San Sebastian, Spain, 5-8 September 2022, to best facilitate in-person networking and learning. However, as the future situation regarding international travel remains uncertain, rest assured that should this conference be unable to take place in person, it will be changed to an online event. To protect the health and safety of all our conference attendees, Elsevier requires proof of Covid-19 vaccinations or a negative lateral flow test (taken under the supervision of authorized health professionals, within 48 hours) to be eligible to attend. This will be coupled with mask wearing throughout the conference. ... [Information of the supplier]

Ressourceneffizienz und Schutz der biologischen Vielfalt – dies sind zwei wichtige Ziele nachhaltiger Entwicklung. Auch für die "grüne", die ökologisch nachhaltige Stadtentwicklung sind sie von zentraler Bedeutung. Zugleich bringen diese Nachhaltigkeitsziele für kommunales Handeln teils widersprüchliche Implikationen mit sich. Die Stadt wird zum Ort, an dem unterschiedliche Anforderungen und Ziele aufeinandertreffen. Die Kommunen stehen vor der Aufgabe, sie miteinander zu vereinen und in ihre Planungen zu integrieren. Die besondere Herausforderung, die sich dabei stellt: Die nationalen Ziele und Programme für Ressourcenschutz und den Erhalt der Biodiversität sind per se keine stadtplanerischen Konzepte. Sie kennen keine administrative Stadtgrenze und machen auch nicht Halt, wo Siedlung aufhört und Umland beginnt. Das IÖR widmet sich bei seiner Jahrestagung 2016 diesem Spannungsfeld der Umsetzung nationaler Strategien in der Stadt. ... [Information des Anbieters]

The scientific enterprise embraces a broad spectrum of activities, from fundamental research to advanced applications. Academia, government, and industry all perform critical roles in moving ideas into innovations. The demands of the twenty-first century, including improved access to sufficient food, clean water, sustainable energy, and health care, can only be met by accelerating discovery and the translation of discovery into applications. Robust, sustained investments across the full spectrum of the scientific enterprise are essential for developing products that improve the human condition and drive economic growth. We can speed progress by amplifying collaboration across sectors and disciplines. What new avenues for interaction between basic and applied research might be explored? How can we encourage broader participation from every sector and demographic to meet today’s needs and to help invent the future? ... [Information of the supplier]
The Ocean Sciences Meeting (OSM) is the flagship conference for the ocean sciences and the larger ocean-connected community. As we approach the UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, beginning in 2021, it is increasingly important to gather as a scientific community to raise awareness of the truly global dimension of the ocean, address environmental challenges, and set forth on a path towards a resilient planet. The Ocean Sciences Meeting 2020 is co-sponsored by AGU, the Association for the Sciences of Limnology and Oceanography (ASLO), and The Oceanography Society (TOS). Through the combined power of these three organizations, along with the broader conservation-focused community, this meeting provides attendees the opportunity to bridge disciplines, connect communities, and make lasting partnerships. ...
