GeoHab 2009 – Meeting Announcement
 
Trondheim 2009

GeoHab 2009 – first call , 5–7th May 2009, Trondheim, Norway

The 8th annual GeoHab conference will be held 5–7th May 2009 in Trondheim, Norway, at the premises of the Geological Survey of Norway. There will be a field trip on 8th of May.

Starting in 2001, GeoHab conferences have been held all over the world, with Alaska (2008), New Caledonia (2007) and Edinburgh (2006) as the more recent venues. The conference brings together scientists from the fields of geology, biology, acoustics, statistics and management, providing a truly multidisciplinary and exciting forum for exchange of knowledge and ideas. GeoHab provides an informal, though global, meeting place for scientists working on underpinning sustainable ocean management.

The themes for the 2009 conference will include:

·       Linking geology and biology – new developments in the use of proxies for ecosystem characterization

·       Acoustic and statistical methods for substrate and biota classification and modeling

·       Arctic habitats and climate change

As usual, GeoHab 2009 will also welcome oral and poster presentations covering a wide range of aspects related to habitat mapping. Some additional key themes may be benthic–pelagic coupling, temporal variability, data storage and outreach, modeling and predictions, deep water and high seas habitats, cold water corals and sponges, vulnerable habitats and marine protected areas, the coast (including the "white strip"), technology, processes, geo–bio interactions, regional mapping programs, and ocean management policies.

Poster presentations displaying maps are particularly welcome.

Organizing committee:

Terje Thorsnes and Margaret Dolan, Geological Survey of Norway

Pål Buhl-Mortensen, Institute of Marine Research

Kari Nygaard, Institute for Water Research

Ingrid Bysveen, Directorate for Nature Management

Gary Greene, Moss Landing Marine Laboratories and Tombolo Institute

About Trondheim

Trondheim has many pleasant and quite different neighbourhoods. In the centre of town you'll find the special wooden houses of Bakklandet, terraced flats along Nidelven and the classic wooden town houses from the 17th and 18th centuries.

Trondheim is an urban centre - with everything the big city can offer, yet with the cozy appeal of small-town friendliness.
