12th Deep-sea Biology Symposium

The 12th Deep-sea Biology Symposium will happen in Reykjavík, Iceland, 7-11 June 2010.

The deep-sea biology symposia are the biggest events of the deep-sea community. Many deep-sea researchers have excellent memories from past meetings and strong links between resarchers have been made at these meetings. At these meeting projects numerous projects have been planned and many young scientists have gotten their first invitations there for a berth at sea.

Registration will open in January 2010 at the event's homepage.

Workshop on meiofauna from chemosynthetic deep-sea environments

The Census of Marine Life project ChEss (Biogeography of Deep-Water Chemosynthetic Ecosystems) is organizing a workshop on ‘Meiofauna from chemosynthetic deep-sea environments’ in conjunction with the 14th International Meiofauna Conference at Ghent University July, 17 2010. This workshop is organized by Monika Bright and Ann Vanreusel and we would like to invite you to attend for free.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together meiofauna researchers who are interested in any biological aspect concerning deep- sea reducing environments, such as hydrothermal vents, cold seeps, whale falls, sunken wood, and areas of low oxygen that intersect with continental margins and seamounts.

We will have sessions in which we will discuss the current state of knowledge of biogeography, biodiversity and abundance, ecology, origin and evolution, morphological and molecular phylogeny, and taxonomy, and future plans. Further we will discuss the possiblities of multidisciplinary and integrative research, building a platform of researchers to combine our efforts in databases, field programmes, and outreach activities.
