Introduction
There is high level research activity and common research interest in the subjects of Water Waves and Internal Waves, and the widened scope to include the following multi- and inter-disciplinary marine topics: Hydrodynamic processes in the coastal ocean and fjords, Microbial processes, Robotics for observations in the ocean, Corals and plankton, and Arctic-related problems.
The specialist symposium - the 7th in a series of highly successful Norway-Scotland Waves Symposium, held in 2008, 2013, 2017 in the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters in Oslo, and 2020, 2015, 2019 in the Royal Society of Edinburgh in Edinburg, is organised under the auspices of the agreement signed in 2005 between the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters (DNVA) and The Royal Society of Edinburgh (RSE) to promote increased collaboration between the two national academies and the research communities in their respective countries.
The symposium will begin at 8:30 a.m. on 30 Oct. and end at 16:00 p.m. on 31 Oct.
Venue: the Norwegian Academy of Science and Letters
30 presentations, approx. 60 participants, from Norwegian and Scottish universities, non-university researchers (including those from industry) and leading international experts from other nations.
