"25 Years of PICES - Celebrating the Past, Imagining the Future" This is the motto of the North Pacific Marine Science Organization 2016 Annual Meeting. In its 25 years of existence PICES has achieved remarkable success in further understanding the North Pacific's natural and socioeconomic systems.
Topics of interest in PICES include: basin- and regional-scale issues such as coastal ecosystem stressors (eutrophication, hypoxia, pollution, ocean acidification), loss or changes of marine biodiversity, changing productivity and species distributions in response to climate change, developing outlooks or forecasts of future ocean ecosystems, and examining climate change impacts on ocean ecosystems and human society. Exact deadlines to be announced on the meeting's website!
