(2005-11-30 12:00:00.0)
Announcement and first call for contributions for the international discussion meeting: "Flooding and Environmental Challenges for Venice and its Lagoon: State of Knowledge 2003" 14-17 September 2003 Churchill College, Cambridge, U.K.

This scientific and technical meeting will focus on environmental challenges for Venice and the Venice lagoon. The meeting will provide an up-to-date synthesis of extensive interdisciplinary research undertaken to investigate the Venice problems, many of which are applicable to and will be compared with other coastal locations. Technical themes include: engineering solutions to tidal flooding; physical and ecological processes; environmental modelling (hydrodynamics, morphology and water quality); and, global environmental change.
