ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
The ocean, a vast, mysterious and infinite expanse of water, has always exerted a profound fascination on the human mind. From the first daring maritime voyages to contemporary explorations of the seabed, passion for the oceans has played a crucial role in the development of human society. While offshore renewable energy raises many hopes for decarbonization, its impact on coastlines is also feared in a context of rising oceans. Although the mathematical equations associated with waves have been known since the 19th century, work is still in progress to meet these new challenges.
