Forum on Frontiers of Science & Technology “Climate Change and Ecosystems in the Northwest Pacific Ocean”

Forum on Frontiers of Science & Technology “Climate Change and Ecosystems in the Northwest Pacific Ocean” hosted by the Academic Divisions of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) will be held in Beijing on April 15-16, 2025. The forum was jointly convened by East China Normal University, the Institute of Oceanology of the Chinese Academy of Sciences and the V.I.Il’ichev Pacific Oceanological Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The themes include four sessions:

  • Theme One: Ocean Dynamics and Climate Variability
  • Theme Two: Paleoceanography and Land-Sea Interaction
  • Theme Three: Ocean Biogeochemistry and Ecosystem Sustainability
  • Theme Four: Discussion and Suggestions, Focused on the Action Plan

The forum will be live-streamed online. All interested scholars are welcome to view the live broadcast. The links are as follows:
