Alaska’s Premier Interdisciplinary
Marine Science Conference
January 17-21, 2011 | Hotel Captain Cook, Anchorage
Since 2002, the Symposium has provided opportunities for scientists from Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, and beyond to communicate their research activities in the marine regions off Alaska. Researchers re-connect with old colleagues and meet new ones. Students in marine science connect with mentors and meet authors of the literature that they have been studying as part of their own work. Registration is free thanks to generous support from our sponsors.
Plenary and poster sessions feature a broad spectrum of ocean science. Hear about the latest work in the fields of climate, oceanography, lower trophic levels, the benthos, fishes and invertebrates, seabirds, marine mammals, local and traditional knowledge, and socioeconomic research. Each day also features compelling keynote speakers.
Please note: Due to high demand for presentation slots and in keeping with the theme of the event, only abstracts focusing on Alaska marine research are considered by the Review Committee.
The Alaska Marine Science Symposium is built around regional themes -- Bering Sea, Arctic Ocean, and Gulf of Alaska -- and includes workshops, special sessions, and poster receptions. See the Agenda page for details.
Online abstract submission for the 2011 Symposium will open in late October and close in late November. Submitters are notified via-email in mid-December of the status of their abstracts. Please check the Abstracts page for updates to the submission dates.
Online registration for the 2011 Symposium will be available starting in October.
Details on non-plenary sessions, side meetings and workshops will be posted as available. See the Non-Plenary Sessions and Workshops page for the latest information on these sessions.
