Coastal engineering has advanced
considerably in the last 50 years. This conference will include papers that
highlight the state-of-the-art in the field and papers that indicate the future
that lies ahead. Papers on wave theory, nearshore circulation, shoreline
evolution, case studies are welcome.
The conference will honor Professor Robert G. Dean,
who will retire from the University of Florida in June, 2003. His
distinguished
career in academia and consulting has made a profound impact on the field
of coastal engineering. His scholarly publications, his students,
and his service to the profession are the impetus for this conference.
