Dear all,
The abstract registration deadline for the UK Regional Student Chapter Conference in Bangor next year is THIS FRIDAY!!
The conference will be held at Bangor University between the 21st and the 23rd of January.
The
theme for this year’s conference is ‘Interdisciplinary Research’, and two
workshops will take place as part of the conference. Firstly, Gemma Veneruso,
who works for SEACAMS, will hold a workshop on marine mammals and marine
renewables. The workshop will cover a number of topics including particular
species and industries of importance, environmental impact assessments,
conflicts of interest and mitigation measures, among others. Secondly, Joseph
Onofriou, who works at the Sea Mammal Research Unit, will hold a workshop on
the importance of interdisciplinary research and collaborations between
institutions with varying fields of expertise using the ‘cork screw seals’
problem around the UK as a case study.
In addition, keynote speakers working in
marine sciences are also invited to the conference. This
year, we have arranged three guest lectures from Dr. Peter Evans (Director of
SeaWatch), Dr. Thomas Stringell (Natural
Resources Wales) and Dr. Line Cordes (University of Bangor) who will talk about
their work in marine conservation.
Best wishes,
The committee of the UK Regional Student Chapter of the Society for Marine Mammalogy
