PICES XII Annual Meeting
Please NOTE: The abstract deadline is July 1, 2003.
October 10-18, 2003
Conference Hall of the Mayfield Hotel, Seoul, Korea
The twelfth Annual Meeting to be held October 10-18, 2003, at the Conference
Hall of the Mayfield Hotel, Seoul, Korea. The meeting is hosted by the
Government of Korea, in coordination with the PICES Secretariat. Local
arrangements are made by the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (MOMAF)
and the Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI).
PICES/KORDI/CoML Workshop on Variability and status of the Yellow Sea and East China Sea ecosystems
Please NOTE: The abstract deadline is October 1, 2003.
October 9-10, 2003
Mayfield Hotel, Seoul, Korea
The second regional workshop for the North Pacific Ecosystem Status Report will review the Yellow Sea and East China
Sea areas. The workshop will focus on time series observations of marine
ecosystems components, including climate indices, ocean circulation and
hydrographic properties, ocean chemistry (including nutrients), phytoplankton,
zooplankton, fish and invertebrates, and marine mammals and seabirds. A key
feature of the meeting will be the opportunity for scientists who are working at
similar ecosystem levels to share information on ecosystem variability and
processes in the region, and to understand how other ecosystem levels are (or
are not) changing.
PICES - Third Workshop on the Okhotsk Sea and Adjacent Areas
Please NOTE: The abstract deadline is May 1, 2003.
June 4-6, 2003
Pacific Scientific Research Fisheries Centre (TINRO-Centre), Vladivostok, Russia
The purpose of the Workshop is to provide a forum to discuss new
observational, modelling, and theoretical results concerning physical, chemical,
and biological (including human impacts) processes in the Okhotsk Sea, their
interactions with the North Pacific, and their bio-physical linkages through all
trophic levels of the Okhotsk Sea ecosystem. The Workshop will include 2½ days
of plenary sessions, posters, and informal opportunities for discussion. The
afternoon of the final day will synthesize what has been learned during the
workshop and to capture the main points of interest for the Okhotsk Sea chapter
of the PICES North Pacific Ecosystem Status Report.

PICES - 2003 International Zooplankton Symposium
Please NOTE: The registration and abstract deadline is June 27, 2003.
May 20-23, 2003
Congress Center in Gijon, Spain
3rd International Zooplankton Production Symposium , "The Role of Zooplankton in Global Ecosystem Dynamics: Comparative Studies from the World Oceans", in Gijon, Spain, 20-23 May 2003.
The main goal of the Symposium is to define the current 'state of the art' of zooplankton ecology and to determine key research initiatives to be pursued in the 21st century. The sponsorship of the meeting reflects the global nature and global importance of zooplankton in food chain dynamics and in biogeochemical cycles. A focus of this meeting will be the effect of climate variability and global climate change on zooplankton. Although local, regional and global contributions are solicited, comparative studies between ocean basins are particularly encouraged. Since many ongoing research programs within ICES and PICES as well as national and regional GLOBEC and JGOFS research efforts are now entering a mature phase, papers that have a 'synthesis' theme are especially welcome.
