THE DEEP-SEA & SUB-SEAFLOORFRONTIERS CONFERENCE 11-14 March 2012 · Sitges (Barcelona) Spain4


Welcome

The Deep-Sea and Sub-Seafloor Frontier project (DS3F) welcomes you to its open Conference in Sitges, Barcelona. DS3F is a EU-funded Coordination Action, which is developing sub-seafloor sampling and observing strategies for enhanced under-standing of deep-sea and sub-seafloor processes by connecting marine research in life and geosciences, climate and environmental change with socio-economic issues and policy building. A long-term research approach will be established covering: (I) sustainable ocean management, particularly in the deep sea, in view of its enhanced exploitation (mining, hydrocarbon exploration, fisheries and other seafloor and sub-seafloor uses), (II) the necessity to unravel the deep-seated geological processes that drive seafloor ecosystems, and (III) release of the potential of seabed archives for paleo-environmental reconstructions and improved prediction of future climate change.

The Conference in Sitges aims at opening the discussion by gathering key players and top level researchers in the fields of deep-sea research to (I) bring in new scientific, strategic and policy insights, (II) to disseminate the achievements of DS3F to date, and (III) to condense the intellectual outcome of previous ad hoc DS3F workshops towards an EU white paper in the field. European as well as non-European researchers, including top quality keynote speakers, are contributing to this important task. A significant number of young researchers participate to the Conference, who will hopefully benefit from the DS3F roadmap document to be submitted to the EC by mid-2012. Last but not least, the Conference also offers enlightening talks on present priorities and future expectations by EC representatives.

The Conference in Sitges also represents a rather unusual opportunity to generate synergies at the often very productive frontiers amongst disciplines focusing their best efforts on the study of the deep-sea. There are several time slots that participants could use for informal discussions in search of collaborations and joint ventures for the future.

A Conference Proceedings book including 30-40 peer-reviewed manuscripts will be published by Springer Scientific Publishers. Such volume could also accommodate other qualified research results ready for publication and suitable under the DS3F umbrella. The book will be published by the end of 2012, and is likely that a “best of” selection could also appear as a special issue in one of Springer’s marine research journals.

With our thanks for contributing to the success of a multidisciplinary stimulating and fruitful Conference.
