Date: Dec. 14-16, 2011
Venue : Hong Kong, China
Summary: Hong Kong, widely celebrated as Asia's world city, is increasingly integrated with the Pearl River Delta Region of China. Sustainability of Hong Kong depends on coastal developments that require engineering solutions. The issues of concern include coastal reclamation, offshore wind farms, coastal water quality, Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge, and other coastal infrastructure projects. This international conference hosted by The University of Hong Kong will be a platform for engineers and researchers to keep abreast of the current scientific and technological advancements in coastal, port, ocean engineering, and other related fields. The University of Hong Kong is organising the 6th International Conference on Asian and Pacific Coasts in December 2011, which will be a platform for engineers and researchers to keep abreast of the current scientific and technological advancements in coastal, port, ocean engineering, and other related fields.
Organizer: University of Hong Kong
Themes: The scope of the conference will be broad, covering all issues related to coastal, harbour, and ocean engineering. Specific themes include, but are not limited to:
-Beach erosion and sediment transport
