SYMPOSIUM:
  Pilbara Coastal and Marine Science Symposium (PCMSS)
  -  A multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary day-long symposium on the Pilbara Coast and nearshore marine regions
		
Fri, 12 Jul 2019 08:00 - WA Maritime Museum Fremantle
		
Oral/poster presentations, followed by afternoon workshop, covering marine, biological and geological sciences, including archaeology, climate/climate change, policy/law, industry, management, and community science.
The Pilbara Coast, between Exmouth Gulf and the DeGrey Delta, is the
most arid coast in Australia, and one of only several arid coasts around
the world but the most diverse arid coast globally. Bordering a mineral-
rich geological province, the Pilbara Coast has non-renewable resources,
and has been utilised for industry e.g., ports for export of iron ore
and other minerals, extraction and liquefaction of natural gas, and
solar salt production. Additionally, in this geologically and
biologically diverse region, there is a rich Indigenous history, with
archaeological heritage manifest as shell middens and as rock art.
Facilitated by the Geological Society of Australia and partners, brings
together, for discussion and exchange of information and ideas, people
from different scientific disciplines, and walks of life, bridging the
extremes of the utilisation of the coast – from industrialisation, geo
and bio conservation, to cultural heritage. This symposium follows the
AMSA Conference, both being held in Fremantle. Registration for PCMSS
can be made online https://forms.gle/rasELEKSEb2mAjRo6 or from the AMSA
website http://amsa19.amsa.asn.au/ Abstracts (250 words) can be emailed
