Session 1 (5th October 2015): Scientific knowledge in coastal model regions

This session builds up on previous research activities of natural sciences in European coastal seas. Ideally, introduced study areas are characterised by long-term studies or monitoring activities and have a strong data basis. These may cover the following topics: biodiversity, pelagic and sediment element cycling, multi-stressors, toxic algal blooms, sediment transport, sea level rise etc.

Venue: Leibniz Hall

Please note: this is the final programme, however changes might occur due to unforeseen events/practicalities
