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

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.
