Australian Conference on Wave Science (KOZWaves)

The Australian Conference on Wave Science focuses on the study of wave phenomena across oceanography, coastal engineering, atmospheric science, and applied physics. The conference brings together researchers studying surface gravity waves, internal waves, wave–current interactions, and wave impacts on coastal and offshore structures. Topics often include wave modeling, remote sensing, laboratory experiments, and field measurements, with strong relevance to coastal hazards, climate change, and marine renewable energy. Given Australia’s extensive coastline, the conference places particular emphasis on practical applications such as coastal erosion, wave forecasting, and infrastructure resilience. By integrating theoretical, numerical, and observational approaches, the conference supports a comprehensive understanding of wave dynamics and their implications for natural and engineered systems.
