The IAAS joins the Israeli Geological Society (IGS) in a call for raising awareness to ocean acidification and global warming among the general public and decision makers.
IAAS virtual seminar series
The Israeli association for aquatic sciences (IAAS) is inviting you to our special virtual seminar series
- 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".
Listen to Prof. Stephen G Monismith, Stanford University, USA: "Flow Through Living Roughness".
Listen to Prof. James Stegen, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), USA: " Freshwater metacommunities and biochemical cycles".
Listen to Prof. Yeala Shaked, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel: " Dust and Aquatic Microbes".

About us
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 ‘aquatic sciences’ we refer to all aspects of the study of marine and inland aquatic systems.

Board Members
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)
COMMITTEE MEMBER
Dr. Edo Bar-Zeev (Ben Gurion University)
Committee Member
Ya'arit Levitt Barmats
Committee Member
Ya’arit Levitt Barmats has finished her PhD at the Department of Zoology, Tel-Aviv University, Israel, and is the Crustacea collection manager at The Steinhardt Museum of Natural History, Israel National Center for Biodiversity Studies, Tel Aviv University. Her research is focusing on the taxonomy and ecology of Decapod crustaceans from the infraorder Caridea in Israel.
Dr. Matan Oren (Ariel University)
Committee Member
Research interest: Marine plastic microbiome and biodegradation of plastic. Evolution of the immune system in marine Invertebrate.
Dr. Miguel Frada (The Interuniversity Institute for Marine Sciences of Eilat)
COMMITTEE MEMBER
Nimrod Krupnik (Technion)
Student representative
PhD student at Dedi meiri's lab, faculty of biology, Technion. Nimrod research aims to study and characterize seaweed based marine natural compounds with anti- cancer properties.
Dr. Itay Halevy (Weitzman Institute)
Committee Member
By studying the range of processes that impart geochemical and isotopic signals on the rock record, Itay’s group studies the coupled evolution of biogeochemical cycles, climate and biological activity.
Tal Ben-Ezra (Haifa University)
Student representative
PhD student supervised by Prof. Michael Krom, Prof. Ilana Berman-Frank and Prof. Danny Tchernov dealing with phyto/bacterioplankton nutrient limitation and biogeochemical cycles.
