IOA News Letters Summary

IOA's first conference will be held in conjunction with Oceanology International 94 in Brighton, United Kingdom, from March 8-11, 1994.  OI94's theme is "The Global Ocean: from Ocean Understanding to Sustainable Development".  Technical sessions to be presented include monitoring the global ocean, coastal ocean case studies and tools, the polar ocean, the deep ocean, the open ocean, utilization and sustainable development of ocean resources, technology frontiers, and OTEC/DOWA.

Oceanology International is advertised at the "largest ocean science and marine technology exhibition and conference in the world".  There are no registration fees and participants may attend presentations and visit the exhibition without charge.   Exhibitors from around the world will be at OI 94.

The OTEC/DOWA session is a major technical event.  There will be three full days of presentations about the most current activities in ocean thermal energy conversion and deep ocean water applications.  Topics to be high-lighted in  alphabetical order include:
