Coastal and estuarine observations and modelling

September 14-17 2010: Colombo Sri Lanka

The 15th biennial international conference on Physics of Estuaries and Coastal Seas will be held at the Mount Lavinia Hotel, Colombo Sri Lanka from 14 to 17 September 2010. Objectives of PECS conferences are to:

• promote exchange of information on recent developments in physics of estuaries and coastal seas

• stimulate interaction between coastal engineers and coastal oceanographers, and

• provide a forum for junior scientists and engineers where they feel comfortable presenting and testing their ideas.

Emphasis is on the results of field and laboratory measurements, and theoretical and numerical analysis, with the aim of better understanding the underlying physical processes. The topic for PECS 2010 in Sri Lanka is 'Coastal and estuarine observations and modelling;’ with an emphasis on Process studies. This serves as a guide for presentations and discussions, but contributions on other relevant topics are also acceptable.

This conference series emphasizes informal exchanges in a collegial environment. All sessions are plenary and attendance is limited to about a hundred participants.
