The Fifth Xiamen Symposium on Marine Environmental Sciences
Jan 11-14, 2021
Xiamen, China
https://melmeeting.xmu.edu.cn/xmas5
Due to COVID-19, XMAS-V will be held in person for a local audience only. For all others the conference will be virtual.
由于新冠肺炎疫情影响，XMAS-V仅面向校内师生开放线下参会，同时开放全球线上参会渠道。
To promote interdisciplinary studies in marine environmental science and to foster the next generation of ocean scientists, the State Key Laboratory of Marine Environmental Science (MEL), Xiamen University initiated the Xiamen Symposium on Marine Environmental Sciences (XMAS) in 2014, with the overarching theme The Changing Ocean Environment: From a Multidisciplinary Perspective. XMAS has grown to be one of Asia’s largest conferences in marine sciences and acts as a hot spot to exchange research interests in global and regional oceans. Its fifth iteration, XMAS-V will be one of the important hallmarks of Xiamen University’s centenary celebrations.
