　 Theme :

　　Dissolved nutrients in large turbid rivers are primarily utilized after discharge into the coastal margin. In recent decades, nutrient inputs from these rivers have changed in several ways including increases, decreases and shifting nutrient ratios. This symposium will compare and contrast coastal responses to changing nutrient inputs from several large temperate and sub-tropical rivers. The primary focus will be on the Mississippi (USA), Pearl (China), Yangtze (China) and Rhone (France) Rivers but additional river systems will also be represented. Where data and information allow, comparison between systems will be stressed in discussions, along with projections of future conditions in these coastal regions. It is anticipated that a special volume will be published from this symposium.
