WELCOME TO 4TH LATWAVES

The 4th LATWAVES conference is scheduled on 19-21 October, 2022 and will be held at Montevideo, Uruguay.

We have the great pleasure to welcome all participants to the 4th Latin American Symposium on Water Waves (" 4th LatWaves"). This Symposium, being held during October, 2022 at Montevideo, Uruguay, hosted by the Fluid Mechanics and Environmental Engineering Institute (IMFIA).

The symposium will have world renowned Keynote Speakers as well as oral and poster presentations to introduce and discuss most recent developments in modelling, analysis and observations on water waves.

The topics of interest include, but are by no means limited to:

• Fluid mechanics of water waves.
• Dynamics of ocean waves.
• Air-Sea interactions.
• Wave-coupled effects in the upper ocean.
• Waves in ocean engineering.
• Near-shore processes.
• Wave-structure Interaction.
• Observations and remote sensing.
• Numerical modelling, spectral and phase-resolving.
• Wave climate.

This edition special interest topics are:

• Waves in the nearshore, coastal waters.
• Wave energy.
• Wave climate and climate change.
