ICES Homepage FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT ICES SYMPOSIUM: "ACOUSTICS IN FISHERIES AND AQUATIC ECOLOGY" Montpellier, France 10-14 June 2002 As climate change, environmental factors, and fisheries depletion increase concern about marine life, the need for accurate assessments of fish and plankton becomes ever more urgent. Acoustical methods are the primary remote-sensing tool in the aquatic environment. The fifth ICES Symposium on acoustics of aquatic systems will explore recent advances and the expansion of acoustical methods into a broad range of environments. New analytical techniques, new technologies, and innovative acoustical implementations are changing the way we evaluate aquatic life. This ICES Symposium, the first on this topic to be held in the new millennium, will provide a unique opportunity for the international community to take stock of this rapidly evolving field. OBJECTIVES AND SCOPE Since the first symposium on fisheries acoustics, 30 years ago, these methods have been used extensively for observation and measurement in oceans, lakes, and rivers. Scales of study extend from a few centimetres to hundreds of kilometres, and from individual organisms to entire populations of fish and plankton. Recently the scope of acoustics has increased dramatically, and the methods and tools provide information to fisheries biologists as well as to ecologists, in most aquatic ecosystems : from the deepest oceans to extremely shallow waters, from unicellular organisms to the biggest marine mammals, for limnological and littoral environments, for pelagic, demersal and benthic populations, or even bottom type and

updated at midnight GMT search nature science update advanced search Satellite data confirms climate change Global warming anomaly may succumb to microwave study. 6 May 2004 QUIRIN SCHIERMEIER This article is from the news section of the journal Nature Sky high: cooling in the stratosphere influences temperature trends in the layer of atmosphere below. The discrepancy has been central to the arguments of sceptics about global warming. But according to a study in this issue of Nature it can be explained by interactions between the troposphere - the first 11 km of the atmosphere - and the stratosphere above it. The team, led by Qiang Fu, an atmospheric researcher at the University of Washington, subtracted the impact of such cooling from data on the stratosphere and performed a statistical analysis, which found temperature trends consistent with observed warming on the surface and the predictions of climate models. You cannot eliminate the stratospheric influence with statistical tools alone John Christy Earth System Science Center But it does not impress John Christy, director of the Earth System Science Center at the University of Alabama in Huntsville, whose work established the inconsistency between temperature trends on the surface and in the troposphere

Morial Convention Center New Orleans, LA Spring 2003 Speakers Sponsorship Terrorism: Industry and the Public Respond Sunday, March 30, 2003, 2:30 - 5:30 PM It's in the news and on everyone's mind - the possibility that terrorist attacks on petroleum, chemical and nuclear facilities could cause catastrophic damage and releases of hazardous materials. How vulnerable are these facilities and what can be done to protect them? How can we balance the public's right to know against the danger that terrorists will easily access such public information? Leaders from industry, government, public interest groups and others will discuss these and other issues in this very important forum. Toward a Sustainable Water Supply Tuesday, April 1, 2003, 1:15 - 3:15 PM Water was once treated as an inexhaustible resource. But few people hold that belief today in the face of droughts in the United States, Africa and elsewhere; conflicts between states and nations over river flows and water rights; and competing claims for water by communities, industry, fishing interests and hydro-electric power generators. A panel of four speakers representing the diverse perspectives of government, engineering, industry and society will present the facts and address the issues involved in the development of more effective water use technologies and practices. Panelists include: Terrorism: Industry and the Public Respond Keynote Speaker: Congressman David Vitter U.S. House of Representatives, First District, Louisiana

Clean Development Mechanism (CDM) What's new? Draft case studies from the project exploring CDM and Chile's transportation sector are now available. Climate change is one of the most significant sustainable development challenges facing the international community. It has implications not only for the health and well-being of the Earth's ecosystems, but also for the economic enterprises and social livelihoods that we have built upon this base. Creative responses based on solid research, shared knowledge and the engagement of people at all levels are required to meet the challenge posed by climate change. IISD's Climate Change and Energy Team seeks to provide these responses by participating in activities that take it from the corridors of international climate change negotiations to communities in the high Arctic. As a global problem, climate change requires a global solution. IISD has been actively engaged in defining the framework for global action on climate change since the signing of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 1992.

The main aims of the Hadley Centre are: To understand physical, chemical and biological processes within the climate system and develop state-of-the-art climate models which represent them; To use climate models to simulate global and regional climate variability and change over the last 100 years and to predict changes over the next 100 years; To monitor global and national climate variability and change; To attribute recent changes in climate to specific factors; To understand, with the aim of predicting, the natural interannual to decadal variability of climate. It currently employs around 100 staff and uses two Cray T3E supercomputers. Most of its funding comes from contracts with the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA), other United Kingdom Government departments and the European commission.
