From 01 Apr 2012 to 07 Apr 2012
Location: Amsterdam, Netherlands
Organizer(s): Royal NIOZ (Tjeerd van Weering and Furu Mienis)
The ISDSC has become the major conference for all aspects of cold-water coral research. Crossing the boundaries between marine geology, biology, chemistry and physics, the meeting will address key scientific issues such as ecosystem functioning, biodiversity, environmental forcing factors, coral carbonate mound initiation, and their role in past and present biogeography, deep-water reef development and diagenesis as well as more applied aspects including (potential) reservoir capacities of carbonate mounds (under past and present constraints) and the effects of climate change. All these issues will be discussed in a global context alongside dedicated science-policy interface sessions outlining the most recent developments in management and conservation.
