Multidisciplinary Perspectives on the History of Marine Animal Populations
HMAP Conference on the 24-27 October 2005
at Hotel Comwell, Kolding, Denmark
Oceans Past invites researchers from the natural sciences and humanities to discuss how and why the diversity, distribution and abundance of marine life in the world's oceans changes over the long term, and the role that humans have played in this dynamic process.
The conference will add greatly to what is known, what is unknown but discoverable, and what is unknowable about ocean life in the past.
