Kodiak Area Marine Science Symposium call for abstracts

December 19, 2019

University Relations

The Kodiak Area Marine Science Symposium (KAMSS) will be held in Kodiak, April 21–24, 2020. KAMSS 2020 will be the fourth regional symposium that connects the Kodiak community to the marine science research around it.

Hosted by the Alaska Sea Grant Marine Advisory Program with support from regional partners and contributors, KAMSS provides a forum for researchers to share findings within the research community and to the general public. The symposium offers opportunity for stakeholders to engage and understand how Kodiak’s marine environment and resources function, change, and affect our lives and livelihoods and offers a venue for researchers to plan for integrated, cooperative and community-inspired marine research.

Patterned after the preceding symposia, KAMSS 2020 oral and poster presentations will span all dimensions of Kodiak’s marine science. Topics will be organized thematically, with a cross-disciplinary approach to best encourage dialogue between disciplines.

The call for abstracts is open. Please visit the KAMSS 2020 call for abstracts for instructions, deadlines, and submission information. 

Community members are invited. There is no charge to attend the symposium, but we encourage registration well before the event to better accommodate the total number of participants for the symposium.
