Spring 2003 Seminar Series on
Recent Advances in Coastal Engineering and Nearshore Oceanography Spring 2003

Seminar location:                      Burt 193
Time:                                         1:30 pm
For more information contact: Tuba Özkan-Haller (ozkan@coas.oregonstate.edu)

Goal: To provide a unique forum for the exchange of ideas and for building a closer community of researchers, both at the faculty and graduate student level, interested in processes in the nearshore ocean.

Feature: Renowned scientists whose work is geared towards:
    - understanding complex processes in the nearshore and coastal ocean; and
    - development of engineering solutions to protect our coastlines.
