WISE 2011 - 18th Waves In Shallow Environments (WISE) 2011 meeting

The 18th WISE meeting will be held in Qingdao, China during May 22-26, 2011. Qingdao is a beautiful seaport city of China perched at the western shore of the Yellow Sea. A vibrant and popular tourist destination, Qingdao hosted the 2008 Olympic sailing competition. It is also the center for marine research and education in China.
　
WISE is one of the major international meetings for researchers interested in ocean waves in the coastal and open ocean environment. Its aim is to promote the investigation of the physical processes and interactions that control the evolution of wind waves in deep and shallow water, their implementation in numerical models and application for practical long- and short- term hind- and forecast.
