| Climate driving of marine ecosystem changes (CLIMECO) – training for marine scientists: IMBER, CLIVAR, GLOBEC and EUR- OCEANS are pleased to announce that the workshop “Climate driving of marine ecosystems changes: Training for young marine scientists” will be held on 21-24 April 2008 at the European Institute for Marine Studies (IUEM) in Brest, France. This workshop is a combination of science presentations around defined themes followed by discussions and "hands-on" sessions where young scientists with a marine biogeochemistry/ecosystems background learn how to use climate data. This includes finding relevant data, scrutinising their quality and knowing how to make use of them. For further details about the preliminary programme, themes and hands-on session, please visit the workshop website: http://www.imber.info/CLIMECO_home.html.
CLIMECO workshop - $500 Travel Award for Young Marine Scientists !!! IMBER project will be holding its annual Scientific Steering Committee Meeting in Cape Town, South Africa (5-6 May 2008) in cunjunction with the 4th IGBP Congress. Further information at: http://igbp2008.co.za/index.php?id=55.
10-13 November 2008: 1st IMBER IMBIZO* “Biogeochemical and ecosystems interactions in a changing ocean” (Miami, USA). This event will take the form of a set of three concurrent workshops. The topics of the three workshops will be: 1) Mesopelagic (co-chaired by Debbie Steinberg and Hiroaki Saito), 2) Bathypelagic (co-chaired by Dennis Hansell and Gerhard Herndl), and 3) End-to-end Food Webs (co-chaired by Coleen Moloney and Mike Roman). The web site of the conference is under construction.

Ocean Carbon in the Southern Ocean Observing System
Report of the EUR-OCEANS System 7 workshop on the Canary Upwelling System. The Global Carbon Project has just published a new analysis of the state of the carbon cycle and its immediate drivers of perturbation (economic growth, carbon intensity of the global economy, and natural CO2 sinks on land and oceans). You can download the paper and a ppt file with i) additional carbon trends, and ii) the global carbon budget to 2006 from: http://www.globalcarbonproject.org/activities/AcceleratingAtmosphericCO2.htm
Inter-Research is pleased to inform you that the first print issue of Aquatic Biology has gone to press. The second issue is already filled and will be printed before the end of the year. Hopefully, indexing by ISI will begin in 2008. SPACC (Small Pelagics and Climate Change): A synthesis book of the SPACC programme entitled “Climate change and small pelagic fish” and edited by Dave Checkley, Juergen Alheit, Claude Roy and Yoshioki Oozeki is due to be published in 2008 by Cambridge University Press. The book includes 16 chapters and has been authored by 88 SPACC scientists. If you are interested in purchasing a copy at reduced cost please contact the GLOBEC IPO (globec@pml.ac.uk).
