Alaska’s premier interdisciplinary marine science conference
Started in 2002, the Alaska Marine Science Symposium has provided opportunities for scientists from Alaska, the Pacific Northwest, the Nation, and beyond to inform each other about their research activities in the marine regions off Alaska. Here, researchers re-connect with old colleagues and meet new ones. It’s also an opportunity for students in marine science to connect with mentors and meet some of the authors of the literature that they have been studying as part of their own work.
Due to high demand for presentation slots and in keeping with the theme of the event, only abstracts focusing on Alaska marine research are considered by the Review Committee.
A great reason to visit Anchorage in January
Plenary and poster sessions will feature a broad spectrum of ocean science. Hear about the latest research on climate, oceanography, lower trophic levels, the benthos, fishes and invertebrates, seabirds, marine mammals, local and traditional knowledge, and socioeconomic research.
