Beginning with this issue, Oceanography will publish a regular column on international policy issues of interest to the oceanographic community. Both science and environmental policy issues will be addressed. The first article in the series concerns the international scientific assessment process. The article provides a concise overview of ongoing assessment activities related to biodiversity, stratospheric ozone depletion, and climate change, describes the assessment process, and explains the crucial role of such assessments in international and domestic policy formulation, The column also encourages top-notch oceanographers to contribute to these assessment activities, which-a l though extremely demanding in terms of time and e f for t -a re essential in order to build consensus on and find solutions to global environmental problems. Topics under considerat ion for future columns include the key conclusions of the Biodiversity Assessment regarding ocean ecosystems, issues surrounding ocean-related geoengineer ing (iron fert i l ization, ocean dumping, carbon dioxide disposal , etc.), the relative costs and benefits of coordinated versus individual research projects, the status of women in oceanography, and the concept of sustainable development as applied to the wor ld ' s oceans. Should you have an interest in any of these topics or suggestions for other appropriate issues, please contact me at the e-mail address l isted below. In order to foster broader international participation in The Oceanography Society, submissions from non-U.S, experts are particularly welcome. Responses to items published in this column in the form of letters to the editor are welcome.
