ABOUT THE CONFERENCE  

The ocean, a vast, mysterious, and infinite expanse of water, has always held a profound fascination for the human mind. From the earliest daring sea voyages to contemporary explorations of the seafloor, a passion for the oceans has played a crucial role in the development of human society. While offshore renewable energy holds great promise for decarbonization, its impact on coastlines is also a cause for concern in the context of rising sea levels. Although the mathematical equations governing waves have been known since the 19th century, research is still underway to address these new challenges.
