6th International Workshop on Modeling the Ocean 2014
The 6th International Workshop on Modeling the Ocean (IWMO)
is held at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia,
Canada. The workshop takes place on June 23-27, 2014.
The International Workshop on Modeling the Ocean (IWMO)
provides an excellent opportunity for international scientists
to exchange their knowledge and experience in various research
fields including coastal, regional and basin-scale studies, as
well as interdisciplinary topics. This year's workshop focuses
on many important aspects of ocean and coupled
atmosphere-wave-sea ice and current-sediment modelling. The
IWMO, which held its first workshop in 2009, evolved from the
POM users group meetings which began in 1996. The workshop
encourages participation from senior researchers and young
scientists (graduate students and post-doctoral fellows) and
hosts competition for the Outstanding Young Scientist Awards
(OYSA).
More than 80 researchers from 15 countries attended the
workshop, which included about 65 oral presentations and 15
posters. The oral and poster presentations covered a wide
range of ocean modeling and analysis issues and different
geographical locations from the South China Sea and Tokyo Bay
to the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. Continuing the
tradition of IWMO in encouraging the participation of young
scientists, about 20 graduate students and postdocs
participated in the competition for the Outstanding Young
Scientist Award.
