Physical Processes in Natural Waters, Reykjavík 2010
About the PPNW Workshop
The 14th International Workshop on Physical Processes in Natural Waters (PPNW) will be held at the University of Iceland on June 28 - July 1, 2010.
The focus of the PPNW workshops is the physics of inland and coastal water bodies, and their interactions with the physical and biogeochemical processes that control water quality, ecosystem function, and the services such systems provide. The workshops traditionally cover a broad spectrum of scientific topics. Besides general topics, the Reykjavík workshop will pay special attention to water bodies in cold climate and lake response to climate change.
PPNW is an open workshop, actively seeking to expand contacts with neighboring fields such as physical oceanography, the atmospheric sciences, and engineering. With 40-60 participants and a small number of invited speakers, the PPNW meetings are characterized by their active workshop atmosphere and a comfortable time frame for presentations and discussion.
