| Abstract |
The annual international post-cruise meeting and research Conference on ‘Geosphere-BiosphereCoupling Processes: the TTR interdisciplinary approach towards studies of the European and NorthAfrican margins’ was organized by the Intergovernmental Oceanographic Commission (IOC) ofUNESCO and its Training-through-Research (TTR) programme together with the Geosphere-BiosphereCoupling Processes Consortium of the universities and research institutions of Morocco (GBCPMorocco)and Ghent University (Belgium). It considered the results of the TTR14 (2004) cruise to theGulf of Cadiz and the Mediterranean Sea, results of some other TTR cruises carried out at the Europeanand North Atlantic margins and in the Central Atlantic, and other national and international projectsrelevant to subjects of the TTR research. The Conference had dual but complementary tasks: to discussthe most recent achievements in interdisciplinary research mostly on ocean margins and to providestudents, including Ph.D. students, with a forum to present and discuss their research results. It had yetanother target: to contribute in a wider sense to capacity building in countries of the South.The Conference took place in Marrakech, Morocco (2-5 February 2005). The meeting brought togethernearly 70 participants from sixteen countries: Belgium, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy,Morocco, the Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, Spain, Switzerland andthe United Kingdom. Attending were researchers and students with different specialties (geology,sedimentology, geophysics, geochemistry, microbiology, biology, etc.) and research interests falling inthe area of the conference themes. In total 37 oral and nine poster presentations were made groupedaround several themes like mud volcanoes, fluid venting, carbonate mounds, slope processes,geohazards etc. |
