Note we will be meeting in the Science & Engineering Library for our December 1st Cafe instead of the Gateway Film Center.
Date/Time: December 1, 2010 - 6:30pm
Location:
Science &
Engineering Library - 090/070 (Basement)
Speaker: Ethan Kubatko, Department of Civil and Environomental
Engineering and Geodetic Science
Topic: Computational Modeling in the Gulf of Mexico
Summary:
With half the world’s population living within fifteen miles of the coast
and two-thirds of the world’s largest cities located on the coast, there
exists a great need to understand, sustain, and protect the world’s
coastal environment. In this talk, I'll discuss how computational models
can be used to help understand complex coastal and estuarine systems by
providing data that can help in the design of proposed measures that aim
to protect and sustain these environments against disasters such as
hurricanes and the recent Gulf oil spill.
About our Speaker:
