Eighth Deep-Sea Marine Biology Symposium
Monterey, California, USA, 22 September - 27 September, 1997
The 8th DSBS has been moved to Monterey, California from Galway, Ireland.
It will be co-hosted by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute
(MBARI) and the Monterey Bay Aquarium (MBA) and is tentatively scheduled
for September 22-27. Full details and applications can be found in the

SYMPOSIUM FORMAT
----------------
The format for the DSBS will be similar to earlier meetings, including
both oral and poster presentations concerning deep-sea organisms and
ecosystems. We invite papers on any related topic, and are particularly
interested in presentations relating to processes influencing the function
and organization of deep-sea communities or populations. Themes of
interest include, but are not limited to:
Diversity, Adaptation, and Evolution of Deep-Sea Biota
Pattern and Function of Deep-Sea Populations and Communities
Source and Utilization of Carbon Inputs in Deep-Sea Systems
Metabolic or Physiological Studies of Deep-Sea Biota
Microbial Processes in Deep-Sea Habitats
Deep-Sea Pelagic Community Studies
Sedimentation and Diagenesis in Deep Ocean Habitats
Reproduction in the Deep-Sea
Interdisciplinary Studies in Deep Ocean Settings (JGOFS, ...)
Studies of Specialized Habitats (Seeps, Vents, Oxygen Min. Zone)
