The main purpose of this session is to promote discussion on mutual interaction between Continental and Oceanic zone through water circulation. The global-scale material circulation induced by River runoff through oceanic general circulation is established as one of the major topics on Continental-Oceanic Interaction, where the ENSO / IOD influence into continental climate as major topics on Oceanic-Continental Interaction. Numerical simulation and field observation of radionuclide transport from continental zone into ocean and its potential impact, material intrusion through rivers into lakes and estuaries: such themes are also considered as important topics of this session.
