PC24B:
Triumphs and Disasters: Coastal, Marine, and Oceanographic Research in Small Island/Archipelago Settings I Posters
Session ID#: 84620
Session Description:
Small islands and archipelagos represent a challenging research space. Natural disasters, such as tropical cyclones and tsunamis, have a dramatic impact on island communities, while island ecosystems such as reefs, mangroves, marshes, and kelp forests are exposed to multiple pressures from human activity, further exacerbated by changing conditions brought about by climate change. It is recognized that island communities across the world are facing immediate threats due to climate change, yet oceanographic and coastal data capturing past, present and future conditions for many island nations is comparatively sparse.
The session aims to bring together researchers working in island environments, to bring more attention to the work being done in these under-served areas and foster improved collaboration in this research space. We welcome submissions from researchers investigating coastal hazards, erosion, sea level rise, ocean conditions (temperature, salinity, chemistry, biogeochemistry, productivity) and ecosystems in island and archipelago settings. While climate and other environmental conditions differ greatly between islands depending upon latitude and formation processes, some of the challenges faced by researchers may be similar, thus we encourage presenters to include some discussion of the challenges faced, and lessons learned in addition to their valuable research findings. Further, in alignment with the 2021 UN Decade of Ocean Science for Sustainable Development, we encourage authors discuss the implications of their findings on regional or national sustainable development goals.
