Contributions to the Scientific Program

Sessions for this meeting will be inclusive of all areas of aquatic science. Contributed papers will be an integral part of this meeting so that we might fully explore the changing landscapes of oceans and freshwater. A limited number of special sessions have been organized so as to encourage more contributed abstracts to be distributed among the sessions for this meeting. In addition to the contributed and special sessions listed in this call for papers, all papers dealing with water issues, wetlands, climate and ecosystem changes, new approaches, and processes at terrestrial/freshwater and freshwater/marine interfaces will be considered.

When you submit your paper for one of the contributed sessions or on any topic other than the special session topics listed, please let us know if you would be willing to serve as a session chair on that topic.
