Upcoming Events

　　Background：

　　The physical climate condition of the marginal seas has received much attention due to issues related to global climate change and regional sustainable development. The South China Sea is the largest marginal sea in the northwesternPacific Ocean. Regarding its significance, the South China Sea is important not only for the fishery and oil industry in China and its other surrounding nations but also for the role of its tropical water in Southeast Asian climate and weather. Geographically, the South China Sea is connected with the Pacific Ocean through the Luzon Strait to its east, and it reaches the Indian Ocean through the Malacca Strait. As a channel of the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean, the South China Sea is the region where the Indian monsoon and the East Asian monsoon meet, so it is highly relevant to the global climate change. As a result, the climate condition of the South China Sea has attracted much attention from oceanographers and climatologists all over the world. For this conference, experts in the field are invited to discuss some key issues related to the two meeting themes.

　　This workshop is aimed to display the latest development on marine environmental change research of the South China Sea, contribute to the international and region cooperating study in the South China Sea and Tropic ocean environmental subject, and improve its talent development strategy. We will discuss the important progress on marine climate and environment research in South China Sea, and devote to strengthen international exchanges and cooperation.
