We are planning to organize a Dynamics Energy Budget theory workshop in Marseille next January (17th - 19th). We expect short introductions on specified upcoming research challengies in which DEB theory may contribute, including a wide range between results and plans. Interaction will benefit from short written statements, think of half a page per discusion topic, before dec 20. We will finalise the program on the basis of the incoming written statements, and post it on the website for this workshop on dec 22. The adress will be send to you next week.

You can find more information on this webpage:

If you are interested in this workshop, please contact Jean-Christophe Poggiale.

Location : Marseille, Campus de Luminy, Centre d'Océanologie de Marseille - Meeting Room, Building TPR1.
