2011 LOICZ open science conference: coastal systems, global change and sustainability
The LOICZ OSC will be arranged around the overarching topic on “Coastal vulnerability and sustainability to support adaptation to global change”. Bearing in mind the grand challenges presented in ICSU’s visioning process (http://www.icsu-visioning.org), LOICZ invites contributions to the following scientific themes and encourages the study of vulnerability, dynamics and resilience of land-ocean systems at local, regional and/or larger scales:
- Social-Ecological Systems and Scales
- Vulnerability and Resilience
- Adaptive Capacity and Mechanisms
- Spatial/Temporal Scales
- Earth Observation and Monitoring
- Assessing, Modeling and Scenario Building
- Coastal Economics, Ecosystem Goods and Services
- Science-Practice-Policy Interface and Knowledge Transfer
- Coastal Governance
- River-Mouth Systems
- Coastal Urbanizations
