Resomar Ilico Symposium

Since 2008, the Network of Marine Stations and Observatories (RESOMAR) has organized an annual multidisciplinary symposium, the objective of which is to share with the marine scientific community the newly acquired knowledge on coastal ecosystems. Taking place in a French station, observatory or marine laboratory, this conference is also a highlight, highlighting the host site and its activities. After five editions on the Mediterranean coast, two in Brittany, one in Normandy, as well as in Hauts-de-France and New Aquitaine, the 2019 event will be held in Pays de La Loire in Nantes from 4 to 6 November 2019, hosted by the Observatoire des Sciences de l'Univers de Nantes-Atlantique (OSUNA).

 The 2019 edition is of particular importance because RESOMAR must take up a new challenge that has been entrusted to it since September 2018, in consultation with its main funders and supporters (CNRS, IFREMER, Ministry of Higher Education, Research and Innovation): the animation of the coastal marine sciences community, within the framework of the ILICO National Research Infrastructure (www.ilico.fr). This 2019 edition will therefore be the first RESOMAR-ILICO edition and will focus on addressing all the issues linking coastal and coastal communities.

 
Objectives of the Colloquium

This is a scientific conference that will be based on information and exchange times on the one hand and on collaborative production times on the other hand, with the objective of:

    Discuss cross-cutting scientific issues in the community
    Coordinate the transfer of expertise and the exchange of technical and methodological know-how
    Promote the standardization of practices for the entire scientific community.
    Develop a space for interdisciplinary prospective reflection on the evolution of research
    Contribute to the dissemination and exchange of scientific or institutional information

Call for contributions

For the 2019 edition, 3 transversal themes have been identified and will be the subject of oral presentations in the plenary session. The purpose of the observation series is to better understand ecosystems along a land-sea continuum in the context of global changes but also to report on these changes from the local to the global scale. It is now essential to identify and develop tools for observation, but also to identify new observation objects to feed these tools:

    Observation and experimentation
    Observation and modelling
    Observation and remote sensing

Your contributions should address one of these three themes. They are to be posted on the conference website: https://colloqueresomar.sciencesconf.org/user/submissionssous as a one-page summary before October 21.

Depending on the number of proposals, the committee reserves the right to transform the communication into a poster.
