Al Club Nautico Senigallia il workshop “The influence of muds and cohesive sediments on tidal and non-tidal estuaries”

All’interno delle attività del progetto EsCoSed, finanziato dal Dipartimento della Ricerca della Marina Militare Americana (ONR Global) e svolto in collaborazione con il US Naval Research Laboratory (Stennis Space Center), il Dipartimento di Ingegneria Civile Edile e Architettura dell’Università Politecnica delle Marche organizza il 07/07/2015  il Workshop:

“The influence of muds and cohesive sediments on tidal and non-tidal estuaries”.

Lo scopo è quello di proporre un forum di studio e confronto per ricercatori di alto profilo a livello mondiale che si occupano di dinamica estuarina, con particolare riferimento agli estuari caratterizzati da sedimenti di tipo coesivo. La natura informale del Workshop permetterà un intenso confronto scientifico tra i partecipanti.

Con la presente La invitiamo a partecipare e contribuire al successo del Workshop, di cui alleghiamo il programma dei lavori.

Al fine di organizzare al meglio l'evento, e' necessaria conferma di partecipazione alle varie attivita' via mail a:  mbrocchi@mta01.univpm.it
