LOICZ Open Science Conference 2011

"Coastal Systems, Global Change and Sustainability"
LOICZ addresses the integration and future perspectives of changing coastal areas at its international Open Science Conference (OSC) on "Coastal Systems, Global Change and Sustainability", from 12-15 September, 2011, in Yantai, China. The aim of the LOICZ OSC 2011 is to bring together the international research community working on land-ocean issues, show-case the width and scope of ongoing research, help to build a community in this highly interdisciplinary field, and to inspire new research, theory building and applied science. The OSC is integrative in nature, amalgamating different disciplines to generate new levels of understanding and improve decision making in policy and practice.


What is LOICZ ?
LOICZ is a core project of the International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and the International Human Dimensions Programme on Global Environmental Change (IHDP).

LOICZ aims to provide science that contributes towards understanding the Earth system in order to inform, educate and contribute to the sustainability of the world's coastal zone. Therefore LOICZ seeks to inform the scientific community, policymakers, managers and stakeholders on the relevance of global environmental change in the coastal zone.

LOICZ International Project Office (IPO) is hosted at the Helmholtz-Zentrum Geesthacht at the Centre for Coastal Research
