LOICZ Open Science Conference

LOIZ conference logoThe LOICZ (Land-Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone) Open Science Conference 2011 is being held from 12-15 September, 2011, in Yantai, China. The aim of the "Coastal Systems, Global Change, and Sustainability" conference is to bring together the international research community working on land–ocean issues, showcase the width and scope of ongoing research, help to build a community in this highly interdisciplinary field, and to inspire new research, theory-building, and applied science. The conference is integrative in nature, amalgamating different experiences and disciplinary 'angles' worldwide to generate new levels of understanding and improve decision-making in policy and practice. LOICZ particularly invites innovative approaches, coastal practitioners and early stage researchers (see Young LOICZ Forum).
