8th International Conference on Salt Lake Research
July
23-26, 2002, Zhemchuzhny, Khakassia
The
Institute of Biophysics and the Government of the Republic of Khakassia are
hosting the 8th International Conference on Salt Lake
Research at the Shira Lake spa in the center of this
lake district. Special oral and poster sessions will focus on new
findings and promising research directions. Session topics will include
population dynamics and trophic interactions, microbial processes, the
influence of habitat geochemistry on the biogeography of flora and fauna,
anthropogenic impacts and conservation of inland saline waters, and future
directions and new techniques. The new topic for the forthcoming Conference
is: Management of Salt Lakes for Biotechnological and Medical Purposes.
1.
Geological history and paleoecology of salt lakes.
2. Structural organization of salt lake biota, e.g., genetic diversity,
demography, spatial heterogeneity, seasonal variability.
3. Functioning of salt lake ecosystems, e.g., trophic structure and
interactions, biogeochemical interactions, movements of organisms.
4. Management of salt lakes for biotechnological and medical purposes.
We
would like to propose you to register at your earliest convenience.
Registration via internet is preferable.
