International Conference: Nonlinear Waves--Theory and Applications

 MINISYMPOSIA

Nonlinear waves in geophysical fluid flows
Organizers: R.Grimshaw and C.C.Mei

The talks will describe some recent theoretical and modelling results for nonlinear water waves and internal waves.  The topics covered will include freak waves,  deterministic and random wave fields.
