There is a special session at the AGU Fall Conference in San
Francisco, December 11-15, 2006 which is directed at coastal models
and data which reflect the diversity of the coastal environment: from
coral reefs to wetlands. It will be of direct interest to
subscribers to the coral-list and will include papers on coral reef
dynamics.
OS14: Synthesis and Integration of Coastal Models and Data
Description: Synthesis and integration of data and models provides a
powerful tool that is increasingly used to study the science of the
coastal ocean typically with geospatial-temporal analysis. Reports are
welcome on integrated models of the water column, coastal exchange and
the benthos. These include cohesive and non-cohesive sediments, and
their influence on ecological and biogeochemical cycles of coastal
regions. We encourage presentations that feature ecological forecasts
based on synthesis of data and models into databases related to a
range of processes and forcing functions, including human influences.
We especially encourage papers from students and contributions that
reflect the diversity of the coastal environment: from coral reefs to
wetlands. Anthropogenic influences likely to be of major interest to
the session include coastal construction, dredging, ship wakes and
outfalls.
The deadline for abstracts submitted online is September 7 (just two
weeks away). Please also send me a copy of any abstracts submitted to
this session.
See you in San Francisco.
