International Conference on Coastal Upwelling and Ecosystem Productivity

This track focuses on the physical processes driving coastal upwelling and their implications for nutrient distribution. Contributions will explore the interactions between ocean currents and upwelling phenomena in various marine environments.

This session examines the effects of nutrient enrichment on coastal ecosystems, with an emphasis on primary production and trophic dynamics. Researchers are invited to present findings on how nutrient inputs influence marine food webs and ecosystem health.

This track investigates the role of plankton communities in coastal upwelling regions, focusing on their dynamics and contributions to ecosystem productivity. Studies addressing species composition, abundance, and ecological interactions are encouraged.

This session addresses the relationship between coastal upwelling and fisheries productivity, highlighting sustainable management practices. Contributions will include case studies on fish stocks, recruitment patterns, and the socio-economic implications of fisheries.

This track explores the ecological dynamics and biodiversity of coastal marine environments influenced by upwelling. Papers focusing on habitat diversity, species interactions, and conservation strategies are welcome.

This session delves into the biogeochemical processes that govern nutrient cycling in coastal upwelling ecosystems. Research highlighting the interplay between physical and chemical factors affecting productivity is encouraged.

This track focuses on the development and application of models to predict ecosystem productivity in coastal upwelling areas. Contributions may include simulations of nutrient dynamics, primary production, and trophic interactions.

This session emphasizes the importance of monitoring coastal ecosystems to assess health and productivity. Papers discussing innovative methodologies, technologies, and long-term monitoring programs are invited.

This track investigates the interactions between ocean dynamics, climate variability, and coastal upwelling. Contributions will explore how climate change impacts oceanographic processes and ecosystem responses.

This session focuses on environmental assessment methodologies applied to coastal upwelling regions. Papers addressing the impacts of human activities and natural phenomena on ecosystem health are particularly welcome.

This track examines the complex trophic interactions within coastal upwelling ecosystems. Research highlighting predator-prey dynamics, competition, and energy transfer pathways is encouraged.
