Joint North Sea Modelling Group (JONSMOD) conference
At the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences
The Ecological Modelling Group (ECOMOD) of OD Nature (RBINS) organises the bi-annual JONSMOD conference this year. The meeting will take place at the Grand Auditorium of the Royal Belgian Institute of Natural Sciences from 12 to 14 May.
The aim of the JONSMOD conference is to bring (mainly) young scientists together to present and discuss various topics within an informal atmosphere and which are related to numerical modelling of oceans, shelf seas, arctic and coastal zones, estuaries, lakes, etc.
The intention is to publish the selected papers in a special issue of the Ocean Dynamics journal.
