The primary object of the First International Conference of Maritime Terminology was to bring together specialists in the language of seafarers and those involved in the study or teaching of maritime terminology. The present Proceedings include the various papers presented at the Conference.

Share new knowledge in marine biotechnology and view Australia's megabiodiversity.

School introducing the new international research programme on Surface Ocean-Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS). SOLAS aims to achieve quantitative understanding of the key biogeochemical-physical interactions and feedbacks between the ocean and the atmosphere, and how this coupled system affects and is affected by climate and environmental changes. The school is intended for graduate students at all levels in environmental and pure sciences, with interests in air-sea interactions.

Final Joint Global Ocean Flux Study (JGOFS) Open Science Conference entitled 'A Sea of Change: JGOFS Accomplishments and the Future of Ocean Biogeochemistry'.

6th International Biennial Conference providing an international network for the exchange and dissemination of information and experience and promoted by EUROCOAST and EUCC.

The purpose of this conference is to enhance awareness of potential changes in the world economic and political scene during the next 25 years associated with developments in the maritime world, and to assess the opportunities and challenges provided by the oceans for protecting, preserving and promoting sustainability. Each maritime industry, from shipping to mariculture, will be represented, sharing the platform with those concerned with the environment, law of the sea and international governance.

Aimed to increase our knowledge about the functioning of ocean margin systems. It will also promote the wise use of the seafloor and sub seafloor of the Earth's ocean margin system as a source of natural marine resources. Sponsored by the European Commission and UNESCO.

This meeting is designed specifically to meet the needs of oceanographers, limnologists, meteorologists, and also scientists working in related areas.

Series of meetings attracting an international audience of policy makers, industrialists, government representatives, decision makers, researchers, directors, managers and manufacturers involved in every aspect of oceanography. Addresses the present and future trends of the industry and to view the launch of new technologies, equipment and services.

IGBP and SCOR are developing a new project focussed on ocean biogeochemistry and ecosystems and the impacts of global change. This Open Science Conference invites input into the development of the science focus of the project through plenary sessions, workshops and poster presentations.
