GC23D:
Addressing Environmental Challenges Through Research Infrastructures and Cooperative Networks with an Emphasis on Marine and Coastal Regions II Posters

Submit an Abstract to this Session



Session ID#: 35246

Session Description:
Humanity is facing enormous environmental challenges, e.g.biodiversity decline, climate change, ocean acidification, sea level rise, eutrophication, hypoxia, pollution and land-use change. The question how to cope with these long-term changes may be different in different parts of the world, and different environmental Research Infrastructures (RI’s) have developed significantly over the last decades.

In this session we aim to to describe similarities and differences in the physical, biogeochemical, ecological and socio-economic environments in the different different parts of the world, with an emphasis on marginal seas and coastal regions, and to discuss how the existing RI’s and management structures in the respective regions could help to address some of the most significant environmental challenges.

The expected results include the establishment of cooperation among scientists and RI operators to form new project consortia resp. a network of scientists and managers working on similar problems in different parts of the world.
