The Idea Behind PECS
PECS (Physics of Estuaries and Coastal Seas) is an independent organization whose sole purpose is to organize the PECS bi-annual conferences. The objectives of these conferences are:
- to promote the exchange of information on recent developments in physics of estuaries and coastal seas;
- to stimulate the cooperation between coastal engineers and coastal oceanographers and
- to provide a forum for junior scientists and engineers where they feel comfortable
in presenting and testing their ideas.
Emphasis is on the
results of field and laboratory measurements and
theoretical and numerical analysis with the aim of better understanding the
underlying physical processes.
The topic of the PECS 2002 in Hamburg,
Pathways of Matter in Estuaries
and Coastal Seas,
is serving as a guideline for presentations and discussions,
but contributions to other relevant topics will also be accepted.
This conference series emphasizes informal exchanges in a collegial
environment. All sessions are plenary and attendance is limited to
about 100.
