GEOHAB2016: Una visión global de los hábitats marinos

The GeoHab 2016 annual conference will be held for the first time in England in the historic city of Winchester, from the 2nd to the 6th of May.


The annual conference brings geologists, biologists, acousticians, statisticians, spatial analysts and environmental managers from around the world and provides a truly multidisciplinary forum for the exchange of knowledge and ideas that underpin sustainable ocean management and mapping.

GeoHab 2016 will take place at the Guildhall in Winchester. The Guildhall is one of the largest and most flexible conference and exhibition spaces available in the South of England and has excellent links with many of other event spaces and accommodation providers in the city. The Icebreaker event will be held in the Great Hall (where the Round Table is housed) and the Conference Dinner will be aboard HMS Warrior.

GEOHAB (Marine Geological and Biological Habitat Mapping) is an international association of marine scientists studying biophysical (i.e. geologic and oceanographic) indicators of benthic habitats and ecosystems as proxies for biological communities and species diversity.
