ICMB-VIII Abstract Book Program and Abstracts for the 8 th International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions (20-22 August 2013, Vancouver, Canada) Cover photography & design: Kimberley Seaward, NIWA Layout: Kimberley Seaward & Graeme Inglis, NIWA 8th International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions Vancouver 2013 8th International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions Dear Conference Participant On behalf of the Scientific Steering Committee (SSC) and our sponsors, we would like to welcome you to Vancouver for the 8th International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions. Vancouver is a culturally diverse metropolitan city serving as the western gateway to Canada. We hope you will spend some time to explore all this city has to offer. We are grateful for all of the efforts of the SSC and the local organizing committee as well as for the generous support of our sponsors: the Biodiversity Research Centre at the University of British Columbia for hosting the event; the Canadian Aquatic Invasive Species Network (CAISN), for providing additional funding by sponsoring one of the plenary presentations; The North Pacific Marine Science Organization (PICES), for providing travel awards to early career scientists; and the National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), for donating additional funds. Above all else, we are grateful for your participation and willingness to discuss your ideas, latest research results, and vision. Among the papers, posters, and plenary presentations that comprise the conference, we hope you will find many opportunities for discussion and new collaborations. Finally, we hope this summation of the state of the field will provide solutions to the problem of marine invasive species as well as generate new research directions. Once again, welcome to the 8th International Conference on Marine Bioinvasions, and we look forward to a thought-provoking and rewarding experience!

  • Last Glacial to Holocene Fluvial Aggradation and Incision in the Southern Upper Rhine Graben: Climatic and Neotectonic Controls
    Revue 1-2009_(02):Mise en page 1 16/03/09 12:05 Page 25 Quaternaire, 20, (1), 2009, p. 25-34 LAST GLACIAL TO HOLOCENE FLUVIAL AGGRADATION AND INCISION IN THE SOUTHERN UPPER RHINE GRABEN: CLIMATIC AND NEOTECTONIC CONTROLS ■ Jörg LÄMMERMANN-BARTHEL 1, Inge NEEB 1, Matthias HINDERER 1 & Manfred FRECHEN 2 ABSTRACT We present a new model of landscape evolution for the southern Upper Rhine Graben based on analysis of Digital Elevation Models, new OSL and 14C dating, and a sediment budget. According to these data a three step scenario was developed (i) between ca. 60 to 16 ka BP accumulation of an alluvial fan in the southern Upper Rhine Graben, here called Upper Rhine Fan, downstream of the mouth of the Hochrhein valley. This fan is mostly composed of coarse-grained meltwater deposits. (ii) 16 to 10 ka BP incision of the Upper Rhine Fan and accumulation of a successive fan further down- stream by redepositing the eroded sediments (iii) 10 ka BP to present incision of the Rhine river into the younger fan leading to the present situation. Only phase (i) has experienced a significant sediment supply from the Alps and/or Alpine foreland. During the middle Würmian, fluvial aggradation is proved by several ages from sand lenses between ca. 60 and 27.5 ka BP. The period between ca. 27.5 and 16 ka BP is represented by a single or few layers of coarse-grained cobble and boulder-rich gravels and blocks. Because sand lenses are lacking they cannot be dated directly, but most presumably their deposition was related to the Late glacial meltdown.

Paleo-hydrological studies can help us understand the historical effects from environmental change as well as climate change. This paper presents a review of the history of paleo-hydrology on a world-wide scale and compares this history with the history of paleo-hydrology in Japan. It reconstructs the paleo-flow in the Kamo River basin, a tributary of the Yodo River basin under two different land use conditions by using a Grid-based Distributed hydrological model.

  • The Caucasus
    Cooperation in the European Mountains 2: The Caucasus European Programme Established in 1987, the European Programme seeks to identify and analyse the economic and social forces impacting on biodiversity conservation, and apply the power of the constituency to address them. The Programme is active in species and ecosystem-based conservation within the agriculture, forestry, and fisheries sectors and supports regional and global policy analysis and recommendations. IUCN is present in 47 of the 55 countries of the Pan-European region. IUCN's European constituency, 325 governmental and non-governmental members, six expert Commissions, and the Secretariat, provides a broad-based democratic forum for exchanging views, and taking joint action. Over 3,000 experts, organised into six networks (on ecosystem management; education and com- munication; environmental law; environment, economy and society; species survival; and protected areas/Parks for Life), provide scientific weight to the policy formulated and disseminated by the European Programme in seeking to influence societies. Since 1997, the European Programme has been co-ordinated from the IUCN European Regional Office-ERO, (based in Tilburg, The Netherlands). There is also a Central European Office (in Warsaw, Poland), a Russian Federation and CIS Office (in Moscow, Russian Federation), and a joint IUCN-REC unit (in Szentendre, Hungary).
