Second International Scientific Symposium of CSK-2
Second International Scientific Symposium of CSK-2
Sendai, Japan, 13-14 November 2024
ABOUT
The Kuroshio Symposia constitute a major effort in advancing the UN Decade Action UN 24: Explore the strongest ocean current in the Western Pacific: the 2nd Cooperative Study of Kuroshio and Adjacent Regions (CSK-2) – From Science to Human Well-being. This UN Ocean Decade Action has been developed and implemented under the auspices of the UNESCO/IOC Sub-Commission for the Western Pacific.
The Second International Scientific Symposium of CSK-2 will be held in a hybrid mode (onsite and online). The onsite symposium will be held in Sendai, Japan, on 13-14 November 2024. The symposium will mainly focus on possible applications of marine ecosystem change and weather and climate. Several speakers will be invited to address common questions among scientific and societal communities regarding weather and climate change and marine ecosystem change associated with Kuroshio and its adjacent regions. Besides realizing the needs of the WG5 at the 2nd UN Ocean Decade Regional Conference held in Bangkok in April 2024, we also plan to have a special ECOP (Early Career Ocean Professional) session during the symposium.
