Abstract
LOICZ (Land Ocean Interactions in the Coastal Zone) (see http://www.loicz.org/) is a core research project of International Geosphere Biosphere Program (IGBP) (and previously also the International Human Dimensions Program (IHDP) involving scientists from across the globe investigating biogeochemical as well as social, economic and governance related coastal zone research. Since 2003, its focus on human dimensions allows better informing the scientific community, policymakers, managers and other stakeholders on the relevance of global environmental change in the coastal zone. LOICZ has six existing regional nodes: in South Asia (Chennai, India), Southeast Asia (Singapore), East Asia (Yantai, China), Latin America (Rio de Janeiro) and North America (Louisiana, USA). The four upcoming nodes include Arctic (Canada), West Africa (Nigeria), Caribbean (Trinidad & Tobago) and China (Taiwan). Each regional node coordinates and promotes global change research at the regional and local level as well as facilitates links and exchanges between international, national and local science and policy.
