2009 Conference of the Coastal & Estuarine Research Federation
Portland, Ore.

Underwater
The topics of this conference center around coastline and estuarine habitats, and how climate change and sea conditions affect these ecological systems. The location of the meeting, the Pacific Northwest, is a perfect example of the type of environment to which the research being presented is most relevant.

Human impacts and environmental factors are changing the northwest Atlantic ecosystem
Fish in US waters from Cape Hatteras to the Canadian border have moved away from their traditional, long-time habitats over the past four decades because of fundamental changes in the regional ecosystem, according to a new report by NOAA researchers. The 2009 Ecosystem Status Report also points out the need to manage the waters off the northeastern coast of the United States as a whole rather than as a series of separate and unrelated components.

New temperature reconstruction from Indo-Pacific warm pool
A new 2,000-year-long reconstruction of sea surface temperatures from the Indo-Pacific warm pool suggests that temperatures in the region may have been as warm during the Medieval Warm Period as they are today.

Bridging the political divide across the Gulf of Aqaba
Scientists from Stanford University have teamed up with Israeli and Jordanian researchers to protect the Gulf of Aqaba, a strategic waterway whose fragile marine ecosystem is vital to both Israel and Jordan. Participants in the NATO-funded project say they are bridging the Arab-Israeli political divide for the sake of science, peace and environmental conservation.

UCSB scientists propose Antarctic location for 'missing' ice sheet
New research by scientists at UC Santa Barbara indicates a possible Antarctic location for ice that seemed to be missing at a key point in climate history 34 million years ago. The research, which has important implications for climate change, is described in a paper published today in Geophysical Research Letters, a journal of the American Geophysical Union.
