The Ocean Wave Workshop (OWW) is focused on the use of technologies to support operations impacted by waves, tides, and shallow water processes. The 2015 OWW will explore recent advances in using wave information to assess sediment transport. Attendees will share & discuss lessons learned and scenarios encountered that relate to scour, erosion, accretion, wave slamming, and near shore currents. This event provides a forum for scientists, engineers, and managers to explore issues relevant to waves.
