| Scope |
Coral reefs are characterized by their high biodiversity and active
biogeochemical cycles. However they are recently threatened by local
stresses such as eutrophication and sedimentation and also by global
stresses such as seawater acidification and rise in water
temperature. For symbiosis and coexistence of coral reefs and human
beings, we need interdisciplinary approaches combining traditional
disciplines such as biology, geology, geography, geochemistry,
ecology, geophysics, and social science. In this session,
researchers from diverse disciplines are encouraged to join and
discuss about coral reefs from several point of view based on
up-to-date findings. |
