Reminder: Abstracts due Aug 20: OSM 2026 Nearshore Processes

[Silke Tas]

Dear colleagues,

We are excited to invite you to submit an abstract to the CP008 - Nearshore Processes session at the Ocean Sciences Meeting 2026 in Glasgow, Scotland 22-27 February 2026. The abstract deadline is 20 August 2025, 23:59 EDT/03:59 UTC.

Session description:

The nearshore region is the transition zone from land to the open ocean. This region spans drastically different dynamical regimes with varying roles of waves, wind, tides, buoyancy, and morphology. The vulnerability of the coast to sea level rise, extreme storms, and anthropogenic influences is a major societal concern. Abstracts focusing on physical processes occurring in the nearshore region from the subaerial beach to the shelf break are invited. Interesting topics include:

1) surface and internal wave dynamics,

2) wind-, wave-, and tide-driven circulation,

3) extreme events in nearshore and river integrated systems,

4) mixing and turbulence,

5) cross-shelf exchange,

6) process-based ecological or biological nearshore interactions.

New and emerging topics relating to nearshore processes are also encouraged. We welcome abstracts describing field observations (both remotely sensed and in-situ), numerical and laboratory modeling, theoretical analysis, and model-data assimilation. The nearshore processes session is an established and well-attended session in which student participation is strongly encouraged.

Do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. Looking forward to seeing you in Glasgow!
