The final Workshop in the network of APN Project “Climate variability and human activities in relation to Northeast Asia land-ocean interactions and their implications for coastal zone management” (Head of the Project - A.V. Adrianov, RAS corresponding member) will be held on May 24-26, 2006 by the Institute of Marine Biology FEB RAS with the assistance of APN on Investigation of Global Changes. The aim of the Workshop - discussion on preparation of a joint (Russia, China, Korea) monograph preliminary entitled: GLOBAL CHANGE IN NORTHEAST ASIA: CLIMATE VARIABILITY, LAND-OCEAN INTERACTIONS, COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT. Reports of specialists from the Institute of Marine Biology (IMB FEB RAS), Pacific Oceanological Institute (POI FEB RAS), Pacific Institute of Geography (PIG FEB RAS), Institute of Water and Ecological Problems (IWEP FEB RAS, Khabarovsk), Hong Kong Baptist University (Hong Kong, PRC) and Nanjin University (Nanjin, PRC) will be presented at the Workshop.

Russian team of the project had a working meeting in order to discuss project progress and future work (before Nanjing meeting). We agreed that this year work in Russian sector would be devoted to collecting, analysis and synthesis of existing data on the Amur, Razdolnaya, and Tumen Rivers basins and nearshore areas, but not fieldworks.
