The 14th Estuarine and Coastal Modeling Conference provided a venue for commercial, academic, and government scientists and engineers from around the world to present and discuss the latest results and techniques in applied estuarine and coastal modeling. Prospective authors were invited to submit papers on a wide range of topic areas, including:
Coastal Resiliency
Pollutant Transport and Water Quality Prediction
Modeling Techniques and Sensitivity Studies
Model Assessment
Modeling Specific Estuarine and Coastal Systems
Model Output Visualization and Analysis Techniques
Wave and Sediment Transport Modeling
Modeling of Chemicals and Floatables
Oil Spill Transport and Fate Modeling
Inverse Methods
Facility Siting and CSO Studies
Data Assimilation Techniques
Nowcast/Forecast Modeling Systems
Coupled Models of Terrestrial, Atmospheric, Coastal Systems
Modeling Systems with Strong Buoyancy Forcing
Risk Analysis
This Special Issue presents a selection of papers from the conference; the papers give insight, both into current research and commercial developments, and highlight areas where further research or engineering studies are required.
