TITLE: Classification of symplectic surfaces
QUESTION [17 upvotes]: Is there a classification of symplectic surfaces, i.e. of surfaces equipped with an area form?  Symplectic topology references like McDuff-Salamon seem to start their discussion of open questions with dimension four.

A surface admits a symplectic form iff it is orientable.
The Moser trick seems to show that on a compact orientable surface $M$, the unique invariant of a symplectic form is its total area?  So the set of symplectic forms on $M$ (up to symplectomorphism) is parametrized by $\mathbb{R}^+$?
And, for non-compact orientable surfaces, ...?

REPLY [7 votes]: This is a bit late answer to an old MO question, but Moser's theorem was generalized to open manifolds in 
R. Greene and K. Shiohama, Diffeomorphisms and volume-preserving embeddings of noncompact manifolds, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 255 (1979), p. 403-414.

They gave a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms between open manifolds in terms of volumes of ends and overall volumes. This takes care of surfaces as a very special case.
