Contributions related to climatological analyses of marine data will also be highly appreciated. Studies related to atmospheric processes are welcome, especially if they deal with methods that can be used in marine applications. ICES Acoustics in Fisheries Symposium. Montpellier, France, June 10-14, 2002. As climate change, environmental factors, and fisheries depletion increase concern about marine life, the need for accurate assessments of fish and plankton becomes ever more urgent.
Acoustical methods are the primary remote-sensing tool in the aquatic environment.
The fifth ICES Symposium on acoustics of aquatic systems will explore recent advances and the expansion of acoustical methods into a broad range of environments. Mississippi, USA, October 28-31, 2002. Espinho, Portugal, September 20-22, 2001. An international forum for exchanging information and transfer of methodologies and knowledge among researchers in plankton studies. San Francisco, September 3-5, 2001.
