Dear colleagues,
We would like to draw your attention to our interdisciplinary session Coastal transport pathways of plankton, pollutants, and particles (description below) at the Coastal and Estuarine Research Federation (CERF) 27th Biennial Conference that will take place in Portland, OR, 12-16 November 2023.
The abstract deadline is 10 May. A list of sessions and abstract submission information can be found here:

Session: Coastal transport pathways of plankton, pollutants, and particles
Keywords: Estuarine and Coastal Hydrodynamics
Session Description: Nearshore dynamics govern the transport and spread of natural and anthropogenic material, such as larvae and pollutants, and influence both physical and biological properties of the coastal ocean. Over this relatively narrow region, a range of physical processes interact to move particles and tracers, with the relative strength of these processes – and the behavior of the material being transported – changing in time and space. This session invites presentations that use a modeling or observational approach to study coastal transport mechanisms, their interaction with particle behaviors such as swimming or chemical transformation, or the resulting transport pathways.
