The Integration and Application Network staff recently ran a workshop on developing conceptual syntheses using conceptual diagrams at the LOICZ II (Land Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone) conference in the Netherlands in late June. A synthesis of the 10-year LOICZ I program was recently published, entitled "Coastal Fluxes in the Anthropocene." This synthesis aims to address how changes in land use, sea level rise, and climate will alter coastal ecosystems, and includes conceptual diagrams produced by IAN staff. This book is available from Springer and copies will soon be placed in the libraries at AL, CBL, and HPL. LOICZ is one of the eight core projects of IGBP (International Geosphere-Biosphere Program) and their latest newsletter (No. 61, March 2005) contains a summary of the LOICZ science plan and implementation strategy, including use of conceptual diagrams.
