Welcome to GAP VIII!

Accurate determination of the levels of Gross Primary Production, 
Respiration and other loss processes in aquatic environments are 
fundamental for understanding the functioning of these ecosystems. The 
need for progress in this field has become increasingly evident with the 
realization of the complex impact of global warming on these 
ecosystems.  We are delighted to host the upcoming GAP meeting on the 
serene shores of the Red Sea at Eilat.

The seminar will be hosted by the Inter University Institute

for Marine Sciences at Eilat (IUI). The proximity of IUI to both a reef 
and oligotrophic open-ocean environment provides a convenient study site 
for ongoing experiments and simulations.  IUI has educational facilities 
including lecture rooms, teaching laboratories, and boarding facilities 
which make this an exceptional site for a productive seminar in a 
relaxed, beautiful setting.  During the meeting several field trips will 
be organized for a taste of the area's treasures. 

We hope you can join us for some great experiments and a productive seminar.
