This special issue belongs to the section “Coastal Engineering“.
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
On behalf of the CoastLab2020 Organizing Committee, it is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the 8th International Conference on the Application of Physical Modelling in Coastal and Port Engineering and Science (CoastLab2020) from the 9th to the 12th of December, 2020, in Zhoushan, China. CoastLab2020 is organized under the auspices of the International Association of Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR). It will be jointly hosted by Zhejiang University, Dalian University of Technology, Sichuan University and Zhejiang Ocean University, and co-organized by Hohai University.
CoastLab2020 will build on the successes of previous conferences held in Porto (2006), Bari (2008), Barcelona (2010), Ghent (2012), Varna (2014), Ottawa (2016) and Santander (2018). It will provide a stimulating and enriching forum to discuss the latest developments in physical modelling applied to coastal engineering and new trends in coastal sciences.
We are excited to have the president of IAHR, Joseph H.W. Lee, joining to celebrate this conference with all of us! We are looking forward to collaborating with the Coastal and Maritime Hydraulics Committee of IAHR to host a successful CoastLab2020 in Zhoushan. This Special Issue presents a selection of papers from the conference.
