Coastal Ocean Modeling (GRS)

Gordon-Kenan Research Seminar

Modeling the Physics and Circulation of Coastal and Estuarine Environments

June 6 - 7, 2015

Conference Description

The Gordon Research Seminar on Coastal Ocean Modeling is a unique forum for graduate students, post-docs, and other scientists with comparable levels of experience and education to present and exchange new data and cutting edge ideas.

This meeting focuses on contemporary issues in coastal physical oceanography, emphasizing scientific results derived from the application of models. The sessions synthesize modeling and observational approaches to shed light on important mechanisms driving circulation.

Related Meeting

This GRS will be held in conjunction with the "Coastal Ocean Modeling" Gordon Research Seminar (GRS). Those interested in attending both meetings must submit an application for the GRC in addition to an application for the GRS. Refer to the associated GRC program page for more information.
