Chapman Conference on Long Time-Series Observations in Coastal Ecosystems: Comparative Analyses of Photoplankton Dynamics on Regional to Global Scales; Croatia: October 8-12, 2007

2007年10月8日至12日，克罗地亚罗维尼海洋研究中心Rudjer Boskovic研究所将主办AGU Chapman沿海生态系统长时间系列观测会议。 NSF OCE是几个会议赞助商之一（包括USGS，Rudjer Boskovic研究所，欧盟海洋生态系统分析卓越网络[EUR-OCEANS]和海洋生物多样性和生态系统功能计划）提供财政支持。 该奖项的资金将用于支付合格参与者的费用（酒店，餐饮，注册和旅行）。 讲习班参与者将比较全球范围内各种沿海生态系统类型中浮游植物变异的模式、过程和规模以及关键物种的种群生态。 研讨会的结果将作为综述文件或AGU专著出版，提供沿海浮游植物动态的紧急规则，支持数据和假设检验方法的综合。

The AGU Chapman Conference on Long Time-Series Observations of Coastal Ecosystems will be hosted by the Rudjer Boskovic Institute, Center for Marine Research in Rovinj, Croatia, on 8-12 October 2007. The NSF OCE is one of several conference sponsors (including the USGS, the Rudjer Boskovic Institue, the EU Network of Excellence for Ocean Ecosystem Analysis [EUR-OCEANS], and the Marine Biodiversity and Ecosystem Functioning Programme) contributing financial support. Funds from this award will be used to cover expenses (hotel, meals, registration and travel) to qualified participates. Workshop participants will compare patterns, processes and scales of phytoplankton variability and the population ecology of key species across the full diversity of coastal ecosystem types on a global scale. Results of the workshop will be published as a review paper or AGU Monograph providing a synthesis of emergent rules of coastal phytoplankton dynamics, supporting data and methods of hypothesis testing.
