Dear colleagues,
this mail serves three purposes:
- Making a first inofficial announcement for the 11th International
Biennial Conference on Physics of Estuaries and Coastal Seas (PECS),
which will be hosted in Hamburg, Germany
from September 17-20, 2002. A preliminary PECS 2002 web site can be
found at
http://2002.pecs-conference.org. An official announcement based
on a hopefully nicer web site will be sent around within the next two
months.
- Testing a new mailing list for the PECS 2002 conference. Please reply
to this mail, if you know colleagues who want to be added to the list or
in case you want your email address be changed or removed from the list.
- Announcing a new international oceanographic journal, of which a
special issue will probably serve for publishing papers presented at the
PECS 2002 conference: Ocean Dynamics (OD) published by Springer.
Chief-Editor is Jörg-Olaf Wolff from the University of Oldenburg in
Germany, the Editorial Board consists of active oceanographers from all
around the globe. Ocean Dynamics is an international journal that aims
to publish high-quality peer-reviewed articles in the following areas of
research
- Theoretical oceanography (new theoretical concepts with a strong view
to applicability for operational or monitoring purposes)
- Computational oceanography (all aspects of ocean modelling and data
analysis)
- Observational oceanography (new techniques or systematic approaches
in measuring oceanic variables, including all aspects of monitoring the
state of the ocean)
Articles with an interdisciplinary character that encompass research in
the fields of biological, chemical and physical oceanography are
especially encouraged. Manuscripts will be submitted in electronic form
as postscript or pdf-files. Templates for Word or LaTeX are available.
Electronic supplementary material such as large data sets or animations
can be submitted additionally for the electronic edition of the journal.
As one of the editors of Ocean Dynamics I would like to encourage you to
support this new scientific journal and submit your high quality and
innovative manuscripts to the Chief-Editor or any other editor of your
choice. You will find their names and addresses and further information
on the web pages of
Ocean Dynamics.
With kind regards also in the name of the editorial board of Ocean
Dynamics,
Yours Hans Burchard.

Dear colleagues,
this is the second announcement for the 11th International Biennial Conference on
Physics of Estuaries and Coastal Seas (PECS'02), organised in the City of Hamburg
from September 17-20, 2002. This will probably also be the last mail sent to this
extensive mailing list representing about 550 scientists interested in the physics of
estuaries, coastal seas and shelf seas.
We have now updated the home page of the PECS'02 Conference which you will find at
http://2002.pecs-conference.org
. Since all necessary information about the PECS'02 Conference
is given there, I am listing here just the essentials:
- The deadline for abstract submission and pre-registration is December 31, 2001.
- Notes of acceptance will be sent out before March 31, 2002.
- The conference fee will be EUR 250, which includes all meals, coffee breaks,
ice breaker party, excursion, conference dinner, local public transportation, a volume with
extended abstracts and proceedings.
- All participants will stay at the same
hotel, reservations have to be made by the
participants before August 5, 2002.
- We will be able to give some financial support to participants with limited financial
resources, specifically to encourage the participation of scientists from developing
countries. Applications for grants have to sent in before April 30, 2002.
Please follow the instructions given on the web pages as closely as possible. This will greatly
support our efforts in efficiently organising the conference. And please report any
problems with these web pages to Hans Burchard.
Please circulate this mail to your colleagues potentially interested in the PECS'02 conference.
We are looking forward to receive your abstracts and to see you in Hamburg in about one
years time.
All the best and Tschüß from Hamburg,
Hans Burchard, on behalf of the PECS'02 organisers.

Dear colleagues,
in contradiction to our last round mail to the PECS-community, we decided
to send another last round mail. This is to inform you that we finally
managed to install a web-based tool for
pre-registration and
abstract
submission for the 11th Biennial Conference on Physics of
Estuaries and Coastal Seas, which will take place in Hamburg, Germany,
from September 17-20, 2002. For this, we appreciated very much the help
from the Institute for Science Networking in Oldenburg, Germany.
This means that pre-registeration can start now ! You may pre-register
with or without submitting an abstract. Example abstracts are given in
LaTeX and
WinWord.
Please note that pre-registration before
is a requirement for participation in the PECS-Conference.
All other information is given on the PECS 2002 home page.
Please feel free to send an email to one of the
PECS-organisers
if you have any questions.
We are looking forward to receiving your abstracts.
Kind regards,
Hans Burchard, on behalf of the PECS'02 Team.

Dear pre-registered PECS participant,
this mail informs briefly about the next steps towards the PECS Conference 2002,
to be helt in Hamburg, Germany from September 17-20. More informations are given
on the
PECS Homepage.
- The registration procedure ends on June 30. Those with accepted oral or poster
presentations need to send an extended abstract to the local organisers, for
inclusion into the volume of extended abstracts to be distributed at the beginning
of the Conference. For the extended abstracts, please follow the instructions given here.
Those who are
pre-registered but did not send an abstract register by sending an informal email
to Iris Grabemann.
-
The registration fee of EUR 250 may be paid in advance via bank transfer or on site
in cash (Euro only) or by credit card. For further information, click
here.
-
The hotel booking procedure has started now and will be open until August 5. All
participants stay at special rates in the Hotel Hafen Hamburg, prices for single rooms
vary from EUR 70 to EUR 90. For fax forms and further information,
click
here.
-
An alphabetical list of all accepted abstracts can be downloaded as pdf-file
here.
Please check
if your abstract is correctly listed.
-
It should be noted already now, that we intend a fast publication of PECS papers in a
special PECS issue of the Springer Journal
Ocean Dynamics. The deadline for full paper
submissions will be November 1, 2002. Manuscripts arriving later cannot be considered
for the special issue, but will be send to Ocean Dynamics as normal manuscripts (with
the note "Presented at the PECS 2002 Conference"). The intended publication date of the
special issue will be autumn 2003. For the special issue, no difference will be made
for oral and poster presentations.
Please consider the PECS Conference as an informal meeting of scientists interested in
the physics of estuaries and coastal seas. Also we, the local PECS organisers are such
easy and informal people rather than professional conference organisers. We do our best to
cope with the flood of about 200 abstracts and more than 20 grant applications, but we
do make mistakes. Please write us an email in case of any problems. We are looking
forward to see you all in Hamburg in about 4 1/2 months.
Kind regards,
on behalf of the
PECS 2002 Organisers,
Hans Burchard.

Dear PECS participants,
some of you might have already noticed that the word template for the extended abstract
given on the PECS-website does not properly work (I am grateful to Paula Freire and
Andre Fortunato for sending me a message concerning these problems). I have therefore
prepared a word example and a LaTeX example of such an extended abstract (2 pages in the example,
but 4 pages are recommended). Please use these example files and prepare your abstract accordingly.
They can be accessed through the submisison site at
http://2002.pecs-conference.org/submission.html.
Please note that June 30 is the (hard) deadline for registration and the submission of the
extended abstracts. This will be done by sending an email with the extended abstract as
attachment to iris.grabemann@gkss.de (see the submission site for further information). All those
who are going to participate in the conference without presenting anything, do also need to
register by sending an informal email to iris.grabemann@gkss.de.
The PECS'02 organisers are looking forward to your extended abstracts.
Kind regards,
Hans Burchard.
