Welcome to the new members of IMECaN organizing committee

We would like to welcome Ariel Smith to IMECaN organizing committee.

Ariel Smith Ariel Smith is Project Coordinator at the Ocean Frontier Institute in Halifax, Canada. She has a Masters of Environmental Assessment (MEnv) and over 8-years’ experience in project development, leadership, and data collection, specifically focused on plastic pollution in the coastal and marine environment. Ariel has led over 10 research projects, facilitated partnership management, and published research, including microplastic results in Elsevier’s Marine Pollution Bulletin in 2022. Ariel is currently a board member at the Canadian Network for Ocean Education (CaNOE) and previously chaired a Microplastic Working Group from 2019 to 2023, consisting of Atlantic Canadian stakeholders across all sectors. Throughout her career, Ariel has worked to bridge the gap between research and action by working with coastal communities across Atlantic Canada to better understand our changing oceans.

The 5th International Symposium on Effects of Climate Change on the World's Oceans

Current and past members of the IMECaN organizing committee got to meet for the first time after the COVID-19 pandemic during the 5th ECCWO held in Bergen, Norway. From April 17 to 21 of 2023, IMECaN members join over 600 scientists to discuss the effects of climate change on the world’s oceans featuring an opening talk from H.R.H. Crown Prince Haakon and the arrival of the Norwegian tall ship Statsraad Lehmkuhl. For many people, this was the first big symposium after the COVID-19 pandemic, meaning that they re-encounter colleagues after 4 years while also met in person colleagues with whom they have only met on screen. The conference touch on important subjects from ecological to social to bio-geo-chemecal topics spread over 19 sessions, 5 workshops, and including over 400 presentations and 200 posters.
