Liège Belgium
In 2018 we arrive to the 50th edition of the International Liege Colloquium of Ocean Dynamics, a perfect reason to celebrate and review the advances made in studying the oceans during the last several decades. In particular, this edition will be dedicated to long-term studies in oceanography. Our knowledge about the ocean has changed dramatically over these past 50 years. As is the availability and quality of data and tools to study the ocean. The ocean plays a crucial role in the regulation of the Earth’s climate. As climate change poses an unprecedented threat to the Earth environment studies that focus on the long-term variation of the ocean and its response to climate change have therefore become essential to understand and monitor the Earth climate.
We welcome abstracts in the study of the ocean using long-term datasets, based on in situ data, remote sensing data, model simulations and reanalyses. Works that evidence the importance of maintaining in time the in situ and remote sensing datasets, and review studies that provide a perspective of the advancement of science during the last decades using these long-term datasets are also welcome.
