[Coral-List] 2020 GoMOSES Conference Call for Session Proposals

[suzanne garrett]

The 2020 Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill & Ecosystem Science Conference is now accepting submissions for scientific sessions addressing the theme “2020: A Milestone in Gulf of Mexico Research.”


After 10 years of dedicated research on marine oil spill science, Gulf ecosystems, and the impacts of the spill to those ecosystems and the communities which depend on them, just how much has been learned about oil spills and the Gulf ecosystem? The 2020 program will also explore how this wealth of research can inform regional management and policy, and begin charting a course for future research needs in the Gulf.


The conference Executive Committee will select sessions to reflect a balance of programmatic goals, including basic science, applied research, topic-specific synthesis, and interdisciplinary efforts. Strong consideration will be given to proposals that seek to identify knowledge gaps for future research.


The 2020 GoMOSES Conference will take place February 3-6, 2020 in Tampa, FL. More information, including submission guidelines, is available at www.gulfofmexicoconference.org<http://www.gulfofmexicoconference.org/>. The deadline to submit a session proposal is June 21, 2019.
