MISSION ATLANTIC scientist Marcos Llope (IEO, Spain), together with Tomasz Dabrowski and Caroline Cusack (Marine Institute, Ireland) will convene the thematic session 'Oceanography and ecosystems in the North Atlantic: Science and operational services' at the ICES Annual Science Conference (ASC) 2022. ICES ASC 2022 will take place from 19 to 22 September 2022 at the Aviva Stadium in Dublin, Ireland.

Strongly linked to the UN's Decade of Ocean Science societal goal "A healthy and resilient ocean where marine ecosystems are mapped and protected”, this thematic session will bring together oceanographers and marine ecosystem scientists to present the latest knowledge on bio-physical linkages in a changing ocean.

The conveners welcome oceanography-oriented contributions, as well as studies of physical-biological relationships or integrated ecosystem assessments. The session is focused on the North Atlantic, however, global ocean or theoretical contributions are also welcome.

The call for abstracts is now open until 10 March 2022.
