5th International Symposium on Biological and Environmental Chemistry of DMS(P) and Related Compounds
19 - 22 October, 2010
The scientific objectives of the 5th International DMS(P) Symposium are to:
1. Facilitate world ‘DMS(P) and related compounds’ community interactions and promote related research.
2. Review the recent advances on DMS(P) and related compounds biological and environmental research.
3. Document the advanced understanding in a special issue of a reputed journal, and
4. Identify new areas for DMS(P) research with particular focus on relating phytoplankton to climate.
The symposium will comprise invited talks, offered talks, poster presentations, and open to all aspects of research related to the Symposium. The expected invited speakers are well known experts in their fields, whose interactions will ignite the minds of younger researchers. This will promote research on DMS and related compounds to new heights and help in further understanding its relevance to biological and climate processes. We fully expect the symposium to strengthen existing links and facilitate the establishment of new links between DMS researchers and institutions from various countries.
Special publications are important outputs for the Symposium series. Special issues of peer-reviewed, international journals and a book, have ensured that that ‘state-of-the-art’ research on DMS and related compounds reaches a wide audience. The 1st symposium book was published by Plenum Press (1996). The 2nd, 3rd and 4th Symposia contributions appeared in special issues of Journal of Sea Research (2000), Canadian Journal of Fisheries and Aquatic Sciences (2004) and Aquatic Sciences (2007), respectively. Discussions are underway with Springer for publishing papers from the 5th Symposium in the journal Biogeochemistry. We firmly believe the deliberations during our meeting and the special publication end product will stimulate new links and further research on DMS and related compounds.
