THE
MATHEMATICS OF EXTREME SEA WAVES:
Tsunamis, Rogue Waves, And Flooding
June
13- 16, 2011
Hosted
by Fields,
held at Wallberg Building (WB 116),184-200 College Street
University of Toronto (map to venue)

OVERVIEW
This workshop is on the dynamics of extreme ocean waves, such as
tsunamis and rogue waves, and the hazards that they present to coastal
regions and to shipping. Our purpose is to inform the mathematics
community about problems of prediction and of description of extreme
ocean waves, that in particular may be addressed in part by mathematical
tools and techniques. As well, our purpose is to provide a venue
from which collaborations are developed between the two communities
of mathematicians and ocean scientists.
