Recent activithyies of Korea GLOBEC

Abstract

Korea GLOBEC committee was established by the Korean Society of Fisheries Resources and the Korean Society of Oceanography in 1998, chaired by Prof. Suam Kim, Pukyong National University. The objective of Korea GLOBEC was to develop a GLOBEC-like research program in Korea. In 2004 Prof. Im Sang Oh took over the chair of the programme and now the committee is entering its third phase as the Korea GLOBEC/IMBER committee chaired by Dr. Sinjae Yoo, Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute (KORDI). Korea GLOBEC committee has supported several young Koran scientists who want to present their results at the international symposia since 2004. This program will continue until 2013. Recently, the Korea GLOBEC committee was replaced by a new Korea GLOBEC/IMBER committee and chaired by Dr. Sinjae Yoo. The new committee will invite new members and takes responsibility for building the new research framework for Korea IMBER activities after 2009.
