DESCRIPTION:IMCOAST is an international research programme on the impact o
 f climate induced changes on marine coastal systems at King George Island 
 (Western Antarctic Peninsula). It features a multidisciplinary approach in
 volving geo and biological sciences\, field investigations\, remote sensin
 g and modeling and knowledge into the hydrographical and biological histor
 y of the marine coastal ecosystems. The objectives are:\n\nTo quantify var
 iability and changes in fresh water budgets in coastal ecosystems and to p
 rovide the physical boundary conditions for geochemical\, sedimentological
  and biophysical research\n\nUnderstand the effect of glacial retreat on s
 ub-glacial and land run-off dynamics at in the past and present\n    \nAna
 lyse carbon recycling in the sediment surface of coastal systems with and 
 without impact of sedimentation\, and the bentho-pelagic coupling in KGI c
 oastal food webs\n\nThis presentation will provide an overview of ongoing 
 IMCOAST research and current results.
