Congress Venue:Palacio de la Magdalena (Santander, Spain). It is the same venue as the one used to host Coastal Structures`99 Conference (ASCE).

Conference Topics:

• Coastal hydrodynamics, coastal processes.• Sediment transport, erosion, sedimentation, scour.• Coastal flooding, flood prevention, shore protection.• Coastal and ocean structures, breakwaters,

revetments• Wave-structure interactions, loading, response.• Wave runup and overtopping.• Industrial outfalls, mixing, water quality.• Ports, marine terminals, navigation, ship motions.• Wave and tidal energy.• Laboratory technologies, measurement systems.• Wave synthesis, generation and analysis.• Scale effects and uncertainty analysis.• Combined physical and numerical modelling.• Extreme events – assessment and mitigation.• Tsunami hydrodynamics, impacts and mitigation.• Climate change impacts and adaptation.• Physical modelling case studies.• Coastal field measurement and monitoring.• Natural based solutions and eco-engineering.

Conference Objectives: • To increase the link between industry and the

academia in the field of experimental modeling. • To engage industry professionals from Coastal and

Port Engineering and Marine Energy sector to be part of the Coastlab community.

• To attract new people from Latin America for the Coastlab network, especially young researchers and institutions from emerging coastal and port laboratories.

Technical Tour:A technical tour to visit the Cantabria Coastal and Ocean Basin (CCOB) will be held on Thursday, 24 May.

Conference Banquet and Reception: An icebreaking reception will be help on Tuesday 22nd at the Magdalena Palace to welcome the participants attending the Short Course preceding the conference. A Welcome Cocktail will be organized to welcome all delegates on the evening of Wednesday May 23rd at the “Gran Casino”. The Conference Dinner will be held at the La Magdalena Royal Tennis Club on Friday 25th.

Host City:The conference will be held in Santander, located in the north coast of Spain. It is a modern and cosmopolitan city with a rich historical past. Santander’s bay is considered one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Santander experiences temperatures ranging from 14°C - 22°C (56°F-72°F) during the conference period.
