(Deadline) Gulf of Mexico Oil Spill & Ecosystem Conference abstracts (event Feb. 3-6, 2020)
Tickets
Sep 30 @ 11:59 pm

Call for Abstracts

The 2020 conference solicits abstracts designed to share latest research findings and facilitate interdisciplinary dialogue about research implications, applications, and synthesis. Priority will be given to abstracts that promote fundamental Gulf ecosystem science and link scientific results to ecosystem resilience, oil spill response, or restoration and management.

For the Gulf of Mexico, 2020 signifies the culmination of 10 years of dedicated research about oil spills and the Gulf ecosystem that has taken place since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill. The 2020 GoMOSES Conference seeks to assess and synthesize this vast amount of knowledge and begin charting a course for future research needs in the Gulf. What has been learned about marine oil spill science, Gulf ecosystems, and the impacts of the spill to those ecosystems and the communities which depend on them? How might this wealth of research inform regional management and policy?

Abstracts submitted to this conference should highlight key findings, identify research gaps, and strongly promote the application of research findings.  Submitted abstracts may be moved to a session other than the one selected if it is thought to be a better fit. Papers not selected for oral presentations will be afforded an opportunity to participate in poster sessions.

Check out this link to obtain for information about the abstracts deadline
