This conference will present the latest scientific understanding of global environmental change and of natural and human-driven changes. The conference is aimed toward the global change scientific community. In addition, it will also be informative for the science communication field and the general media. The goal of this conference is to bring together researchers, scientists and stakeholders who deal with monitoring in freshwater, marine, terrestrial, atmospheric, and social systems.
Ice cores provide a wealth of information on the past climate.
Recently several deep ice cores and many shallow cores have been drilled and analyzed. This symposium will focus on results from ice-core measurements and what they reveal about our understanding of global, regional, and historical climates. The Fourth International Symposium on Ocean Wave Measurement and Analysis will be held In San Francisco, California, USA from 3-5 September 2001. Sponsored by the American Society of Civil Engineers in cooperation with other institutions, the conference is designed to promote technology transfer, communication, and solutions to wave measurement and analysis. Conference topics will include laboratory generation and standardization, tsunamis, storm surges and application to maritime operations, application to sediment, wave measurement and analysis, wave forecasting and calibration, application to structural design, wave theory and statistics, extreme wave kinematics, numerical wave tanks, wave transformation, sea level change, research needs, remote sensing, coastal flooding, and wave climate.
