FINAL CALL FOR PAPERS =96 Abstract deadline 18th July 2010 Conference, Loughborough University, UK, 9th =96 10th September 2010 Organisers: Dr D. B. Ryves, Professor N. J. Anderson & Dr P.J. Wood=20 We are pleased to announce that the delayed =91All at Sea?=92 meeting has b= een rescheduled for September, this year, and that abstract submission and = registration have been temporarily re-opened (until July, 18th). This meeti= ng, originally scheduled for June, was postponed due to the recent ash clou= d that grounded air transport, to and from UK airports for several days in = June. Key Note Speakers: Professor Antony Long, University of Durham and Profess= or Graham Underwood, University of Essex and Dr Maarten Blauuw, Queens Univ= ersity, Belfast. Coastal zones are dynamic systems. They are high-energy environments exhibi= ting rapid spatial and temporal change and are constantly evolving. The com= plex interaction of physical processes operating on both short (e.g. tides,= fluvial input of nutrients and sediment) and longer-term timescales (e.g. = climate & sea level change) form the driving force for many of the biologic= al, chemical and sedimentological processes that occur in these systems. Co= astal zones are unique in their steep gradation of conditions (e.g. salinit= y) which produce distinctive ecological communities.=20 In recent years human impact has seriously altered many of these coastal sy= stems resulting in issues such as eutrophication, over-exploitation of reso= urces and pollution catching media attention. Such major anthropogenic chan= ges make it increasingly difficult to understand the already complex natura= l physical processes and ecological changes operating within the coastal zo= ne. These complex issues must be dealt with before we can begin to use thes= e archives as palaeo-records for understanding the past, for which they off= er great potential to integrate the independent terrestrial and marine reco= rds of past climatic and environmental change. By understanding the past in= these terms we can provide valuable context for investigating recent and f= uture change.=20 This conference aims to address the following questions:=20 1. How do physical, biological and chemical processes in the coastal zone i= mpact ecological communities and how do these communities change and evolve= over time?=20 2. Can we successfully isolate natural environmental change from human impa= ct in modern and recent coastal systems?=20 3. How can we most effectively apply complex contemporary ecological inform= ation to improve our interpretation of palaeo-records?=20 4. How can we integrate complex contemporary ecological data with time-aver= aged palaeo-data to improve policy and management of coastal ecological sys= tems and future predictions under changing climate?=20 This conference will be composed of four sessions entitled:=20 1. The contemporary coastal zone: physical, biological and chemical impacts= on ecology.=20 2. Assessment of the strength of climatic and environmental change inferenc= es from palaeoecological investigations.=20 3. Formation of the palaeo-record in high-energy environments: chronology, = taphonomy and diagenesis=20 4. Integrating contemporary and palaeo datasets from the coastal zone: synt= hesis and visions for the future.=20 Abstract deadline: 18th July 2010 For more information and registration details see: (http://www.lboro.ac.uk/= departments/gy/allatsea/) or e-mail allatsealboro@gmail.com=20 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------------------------------- PhD Student, Department of Geography, Loughborough University.
