--------------------
The 2008 Ocean Sciences Meeting will take place on 2-7 March 2008 in Orlando, Florida. The meeting is co-sponsored by the American Society of Limnology and Oceanography, American Geophysical Union, The Oceanography Society, and Estuarine Research Federation.
Plenary lectures will be held Monday through Friday. Poster and oral sessions will be held throughout the meeting. The program will also feature society meetings, town hall meeting, workshops, student events as well as other extracurricular activities.
Scientific Theme will be "Water connects and binds us all." It moves from the top of the highest mountain to the depths of the deepest oceans. As limnologists, oceanographers, and educators know, water is the lifeblood of our endeavors. Now, as never before, is the time to recognize the interconnections between land and sea, and at the 2008 bi-annual Ocean Sciences Meeting. Participation is invited through submissions to oral or poster sessions. Following the trend at recent meetings, increasing emphasis is will be placed on poster sessions with the goal of not limiting the number of concurrent oral sessions and giving greater exposure to presenters at all sessions. Organizers especially encourage the submission of poster presentations as a very effective means of facilitating discussion of research. Poster sessions will be scheduled at times when there are no conflicts from oral sessions or scheduled special workshops, field trips, or town meetings. The poster sessions include receptions to provide opportunities to make professional connections in a social setting.
