WELCOME LETTER

On behalf of the CoastLab2020 Organizing Committees, it is our great pleasure

to invite you to participate in the 8th International Conference on the Application

of Physical Modelling in Coastal and Port Engineering and Science

(CoastLab2020) during the 25th -29th of May, 2020 in Zhoushan, China.

CoastLab2020 is organized under the auspices of the International Association of

Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research (IAHR) and will be jointly hosted by

Zhejiang University, Dalian University of Technology, Sichuan University and

Zhejiang Ocean University.

CoastLab2020 will build on the successes of previous conferences held in Porto

(2006), Bari (2008), Barcelona (2010), Ghent (2012), Varna (2014), Ottawa (2016)

and Santander (2018). It will provide a stimulating and enriching forum to discuss the

latest developments in physical modelling applied to coastal engineering and new

trends in coastal sciences.

We are looking forward to collaborating with the Coastal and Maritime

Hydraulics Committee of IAHR to host a successful CoastLab2020 in Zhoushan.

Yours Sincerely

Pengzhi Lin Zhiguo He Dezhi Ning
