Communicate research knowledge derived from the 2007-13 Bering Sea Project, and
Engage the community working in related disciplines and regions.
This BSOSM welcomed topics within the broad scope of the Bering Sea Project - to "understand the impacts of climate change and dynamic sea ice cover on the eastern Bering Sea ecosystem" - as well as related work from other research programs or other subarctic regions. A key theme for the BSOSM was integration and synthesis: cross-discipline work and novel collaborations have been central to the Bering Sea Project and that theme was extended through the BSOSM.
The titles and presenters follow.
