Webinar: Deciphering the ocean magnetic stripes: the signal and the recorder
The Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences invites you to a lecture: "Ecological dynamics of mangrove coastal areas in Mekong Delta"
The Institute of Oceanology of the Polish Academy of Sciences invites you on Monday, June 13 at 11:00 am to his Big Hall for a lecture by Dr. Vo Luong Hong Phuoc, head of the Earth Sciences Department at the University of Science in Ho Chi Minh (Saigon, Vietnam).
The subject of the paper, "Ecological dynamics of mangrove coastal areas in Mekong Delta", is a continuation of the research carried out as part of the doctoral dissertation under the supervision of prof. Stanisław Massel.
The seminar will also be available on the Internet, however we cordially invite you to participate in person.

Conference: Climate Change: Science & Society
The 5th edition of the Polish Scientific Networks (https://psn.cs.put.poznan.pl/psn/) conference entitled Climate Change: Science & Society (September 28-30, 2022 in Wroclaw, Poland) is devoted to the causes and impacts of climatic changes. It will bring together leading Polish climate change researchers and experts from around the world to better understand climate impacts on world environments and societies – and how to respond to them.
We would like to bring your attention to climate change and ocean related session. Please send your abstracts by 30 June 2022.
Werbinar: "Remote-sensing estimation of water quality in estuarine and coastal waters: A case study"
According to program for the Szczecin Marginal Seas Webinars during the Summer Semester 2021/2022 (attached) we invite you warmly for the Webinar to be held
on May 19, 2022, 2:00 pm (CET).
Please, join our online meeting for the lecture:
"Remote-sensing estimation of water quality in estuarine and coastal waters: A case study"
to be presented by Prof. Dr. Yuanzhi Zhang, Institute of Asia-Pacific Studies, Chinese University of Hongkong, China.
Abstract
In this study, we applied the in-situ and remote-sensing data to the Pearl River estuarine and coastal waters in the north of South China Sea. Specific focus is placed on (a) comparing the ability of the models to estimate chl-a in the range 1–12 mg m−3, which is typical for coastal and estuarine waters, and (b) assessing the potential of the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MODIS) and Medium Resolution Imaging Spectrometer (MERIS) to estimate chl-a concentrations. Reflectance spectra and water samples were collected at 13 stations with chl-a ranging from 0.83 to 11.8 mg m−3 and total suspended matter from 9.9 to 21.5 g m−3. A close relationship was found between chl-a concentration and total suspended matter concentration with the determining coefficient (R2) above 0.89. The MBR calculated in the spectral bands of MODIS proved to be a good proxy for chl-a concentration (R2 > 0.93). On the other hand, both the NIR–red three-band model, with wavebands around 665, 700, and 730 nm, and the NIR–red two-band model (with bands around 665 and 700 nm) explained more than 95% of the chl-a variation, and we were able to estimate chl-a concentrations with a root mean square error below 1 mg m−3. The two- and three-band NIR–red models with MERIS spectral bands accounted for 93% of the chl-a variation. We also applied Landsat-8 OLI data to estimate suspended matter in the same area. These findings imply that the extensive database of MODIS, MERIS, and Landsat images could be used to quantitatively monitor chl-a and suspended matter in estuarine and coastal waters.
The meeting room will be open from 1:30 pm (CET), but the seminar will begin at 2:00 pm (CET).

Webinar: Long-term plate tectonic evolution of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico as marginal seas of the Central Atlantic Ocean
Szczecin Marginal Seas Webinars' Conveners invite you to join the Webinar to be held on April 28, 2022, 2:00 pm (CET).
Join online meeting for the lecture: "Long-term plate tectonic evolution of the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico as marginal seas of the Central Atlantic Ocean" to be presented by Prof. Dr. Martin Meschede, Institute of Geography and Geology, University of Greifswald, Germany.
Abstract
The Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea are two marginals seas of the Atlantic Ocean that developed in direct relation to the opening of the Central Atlantic Ocean as a consequence of the breakup of Pangea during the Mesozoic. The opening of the Gulf of Mexico started in the Early Jurassic and ceased in Early Cretaceous times when the spreading axis shifted towards SE resulting in the opening of the Proto-Caribbean Sea. Sedimentary deposits comparable to the Central European Basin of the Permian developed in particular in the Gulf of Mexico forming the hydrocarbon resources in this region. With the opening of the Southern Atlantic the spreading axis shifted again. The Caribbean Sea became an independent plate as a result of lateral movements and the evolution of subduction zones since the middle Cretaceous.
The meeting room will be open from 1:30 pm (CET), but the seminar will begin at 2:00 pm (CET).
