Dynamic Planet 2005, Cairns, Australia, 22-26 August 2005.
The 2005 IAG/IAPSO/IABO Joint Assembly will offer a scientific program encompassing the most recent advances in geodesy, oceanography and marine biology. The dynamic nature of our planet naturally creates interactions of life within the oceans, the oceans themselves and the continents and many of the symposium sessions cover interdisciplinary themes. A total of 26 sessions are being planned, including one dedicated to the CENSUS OF MARINE LIFE. In addition, more focussed sessions will include one on PELAGIC BIOGEOGRAPHY.
