IAAS series
The Israeli association for aquatic sciences (IAAS) is inviting you to our special virtual seminar series
ย
- The topics of the talks will be highly diverse and given by leading scholars from the US, Europe, Australia and Israel.
- The seminar will include ONE talk per MONTH (five in total, starting from February) during this upcoming semester.
- The seminar series is free of charge with no prerequisites. Zoom link will be distributed without any pre-registration.
Listen to Prof. Linda Amaral, University of Amsterdam, Netherlands: "Plastics and the Plastisphere".
Listen to Prof. Rosalind Rickaby, University of Oxford, UK: "Transforming trace metals and phanerozoic phytoplankton revolutions".

The Israeli Association for Aquatic Sciences (IAAS) was founded in 2003 and currently includes about 600 active members. One of the main goals of the IAAS is to foster scientists and students interested in aquatic sciences ranging from oceans and lakes to rivers and streams. In addition, the IAAS is focusing on the different impacts of global environmental changes and upraising concerns to our aquatic systems. The IAAS hold an annual multidisciplinary scientific conference in Israel to provide a platform for cutting edge aquatic science while at the same time strengthen the bonds between young and established aquatic researchers. The membership in IAAS is open to all who are interested in aquatic sciences. By โaquatic sciencesโ we refer to all aspects of the study of marine and inland aquatic systems.

Board
Prof. Orit Sivan (Ben Gurion University)
President
I'm a biogeochemist and chemical oceanographer. My group uses mainly stable isotopes to quantify anaerobic microbially mediated processes in aquifers and sediments to improve our understanding on the redox cycling of globally important species that are related to global climate change.
Dr. Eyal Rahav (Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research)
Treasurer
Dr. Ayah Lazar (Israel Oceanographic and Limnological Research)
Committee Member
Dr. Orr Shapiro (Volcani Institute)
