Colleagues, This is a reminder that the abstract deadline for the 2014 Ocean Sciences conference is this Friday, October 4. Please see our original advertisement below for details about the conference and a session on top predators.
Please note that you will be required to pay the conference registration fees when submitting an abstract, but provisions have been made to allow U.S. government employees to postpone paying these fees. If you are a U.S. government employee, please email me at [email protected] for instructions before submitting your abstract. Registration fees for all participants are refundable (minus a $70 USD processing fee) if registration is cancelled prior to January 20, 2014. Kind regards, Mark Begin forwarded message: > From: Mark Baumgartner <[email protected]> > Subject: Ocean Sciences 2014 session > Date: September 10, 2013 12:41:46 PM EDT > To: [email protected] > > Dear Colleagues, > > The 17th Biennial Ocean Sciences Meeting will take place 23-28 February 2014 > in Honolulu, Hawaii.

Please consider submitting an abstract and attending the meeting. > Abstracts are due by 4 October 2013 (3 weeks from Friday). > > ADVANCES IN APPROACHES TO MONITORING THE OCCURRENCE, DISTRIBUTION, AND > BEHAVIOR OF TOP PREDATORS (session 091) > > Unlike most marine organisms, top predators can be monitored in the field as > individuals, providing unique insight into behavioral strategies that > influence the status and dynamics of populations. Tremendous technological > and methodological progress has been made in marine animal detection, > tagging, and tracking in the past decade, and this session seeks to gather > researchers to share new insights into top predator behavior, ecology, and > physiology gleaned from these state-of- the-art approaches. We encourage > researchers working with autonomous platforms, passive acoustic detection, > animal tagging, satellite tracking, remote monitoring technologies, and other > advanced methods to participate and present their latest results. > > Mark Baumgartner, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution > [email protected] > > Daniel Palacios, Environmental Research Division, Southwest Fisheries Science > Center, NOAA/National Marine Fisheries Service > [email protected] > Mark Baumgartner Associate Scientist Biology Department Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution MS #33, Redfield 256 Woods Hole, MA 02543 [email protected] www.whoi.edu/sites/mbaumgartner (508)289-2678 phone (508)457-2134 fax
