42nd International Liege Colloquium on Ocean Dynamics
Multiparametric observation and analysis of the Sea - First Announcement
26-30 April 2010

Web site: http://modb.oce.ulg.ac.be/colloquium/

The colloquium will provide a forum to present and discuss recent scientific advances on the use of new sensors and platforms in all oceanographic disciplines. Of particular interest are multiparametric and interdisciplinary studies of the ocean, and the scientific questions being answered by means of the data collected through autonomous systems. Also advanced statistical methods to analyze multivariate data possibly in aggregated form from different sources are welcome. In this respect, the problems and solutions for constructing aggregated data-bases are also among the relevant topics covered by the colloquium.

For more than 40 years now, the International Liege Colloquium has been focusing on various aspects of ocean dynamics. The subject of the colloquium changes from one year to the other but the topics are always approached in an interdisciplinary framework. The size of the group of participants (about 60 on average) and the careful selection of subjects, have always ensured fruitful exchanges and discussions. For years, selected papers of the colloquium have been published as a special issue on an international peer-reviewed journal.

Abstracts for the 2010 Conference should be submitted before the 31st of December 2009. The list of members of the scientific committee and the necessary details (submission, registration, deadlines, venue,...) are available in the attached document and on the web site http://modb.oce.ulg.ac.be/colloquium/.

We are looking forward to welcoming you in Liege in the name of the Organizing Committee,

Sincerely,
P.M. Poulain (OGS, Italy)
