In addition, the workshop welcomes presentation of research results from related fields such as the hydrodynamics of estuaries, coastal waters and enclosed or semi-enclosed seas. Of particular interest is interdisciplinary work linking physical measurements to biological, chemical and geological processes. Since it was first convened in Kastanienbaum near Lucerne, the PPNW workshop series has followed a succesful model of a relatively informal gathering in single sessions where 50% of the time is assigned to presentations and 50% to discussion.
