*International Workshop on Living Organisms in Flows:
>From Small-Scale Turbulence to Geophysical Flows*

IFISC, Palma de Mallorca, June 7 - 11, 2010

Scientific coordination:
Ulrike Feudel, University of Oldenburg, Germany
Raymond E. Goldstein, University of Cambridge, UK
Emilio Hernandez-Garcia, IFISC (CSIC-UIB), Spain
Cristobal Lopez, IFISC (CSIC-UIB), Spain

This workshop (http://www.ifisc.uib-csic.es/orflow10/) is organized within the
framework of the Joint Workshop Program *Trends in Complex Systems*
(http://www.ifisc.uib-csic.es/tcs/) between the MPIPKS (Max-Planck
Institute for the Physics of Complex Systems, Dresden, Germany)
and the IFISC (Institute for Cross-Disciplinary Physics and Complex
Systems, Palma de Mallorca, Spain).

 The interplay between biological organisms and hydrodynamic flows
influences strongly the ecology of oceans, lakes and rivers, as
well as developmental processes in living organisms. These
phenomena at the interface between biology and physics cover
different temporal and spatial scales from small-scale turbulence
to mesoscale hydrodynamic activity on the physical side, and from
bacteria and other cellular organisms up to swimming animals like
fish on the biological side.
 The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists from
various disciplines who investigate organisms in fluid flows from
different perspectives and to address, among others, topics like:
impact of mesoscale mixing on biology, population dynamics in
rivers, non-passive transport, experimental biology in fluids,
bioconvection and the influence of small-scale turbulence on
plankton. The general goal of the workshop is to facilitate
cross-fertilization between the different scientific communities
and to stimulate joint interdisciplinary projects among the
participants.
