Session OS2.1: Open session on coastal and shelf seas

Conveners: Julie D. Pietrzak, Evridiki Chrysagi, Peter Holtermann, Knut Klingbeil, Giorgia Verri

Contributions are invited on recent advances in the understanding of circulation and fluid dynamical processes in coastal and shelf seas. Observational, modelling and theoretical studies are welcome, spanning the wide range of temporal and spatial scales from the shelf break to the shore. In order to capture the dynamic nature of our coastal and shelf seas the session includes processes such as shelf circulation, canyon flows, exchange flows in semi-enclosed seas, eddies, submesoscale dynamics, river plumes and estuaries, as well as on flow interactions with bio-geochemistry, sediment dynamics and nearshore physics. Contributions on the impacts of climate change and man-made structures on our coastal seas and estuaries are also welcome. Contributions from early career scientists are particularly encouraged.
