Dear all

 

Climate Change and Aquatic Systems: Past, Present & Future

 21st-23rd July 2004, University of Plymouth, U.K.

 

Happy New Year to you all. This is a reminder to those of you who have
not yet sent in abstracts for the conference that the deadline for
submission is the end of January 2004 (see full details below).
Registration details, with forms and example abstract can be found at:

 

http://www.biology.plymouth.ac.uk/climate/climate.htm

 

We look forward to receiving your abstracts as soon as possible. Here is
a reminder of the timetable for the conference - note the deadline for
abstracts:

 

Call for abstracts: September 2003

 

Deadline for abstracts: 31st Jan 2004

 

Programme details online: 31st March 2004

 

Early registration deadline: 31st May 2004

 

Freshwater Biological Association Annual Meeting: 19th-20th July 2004

 

Climate Change and Aquatic Systems conference: 21st-23rd July 2004

 

Due to our aim in providing an integrated conference where all
participants can hear all talks, and the potential high interest in this
conference, there is likely to be some competition for oral presentation
slots. Contributors are therefore encouraged to:

 

1.	target their presentations (and thus abstracts) to be as
accessible as possible to the wide range of participants at the
conference
2.	present a broad picture or synthesis of ideas within a
particular field fitting to the overarching theme of the conference (for
local studies, it would therefore be beneficial for presenters to put
their work firmly in a global context).
3.	keep abstracts within the word limit and to use the format given
4.	to have the abstracts in before the deadline 

 

The organising committee will review all abstracts the week after the
deadline and select presentations for each of the themed sessions of the
conference to complement the plenary speakers. Oral presentations will
be chosen to give as full range of topics as possible over the
conference. All participants submitting abstracts for an oral
presentation that are not accepted for a talk will be offered to present
as a poster instead.

 

For all communication on the conference, please use the following
conference email:

 

climate at plymouth.ac.uk <mailto:climate at plymouth.ac.uk> 

 

We look forward to receiving your abstracts & registration forms and
seeing many of you here in Plymouth in July.

 

Yours,

 

Martin
