The nearshore is also physically complex, due in large part to the widespread and often irregular occurrence of nonlinear internal waves that frequently appear more bore-like than wave-like. Indeed, this region of the ocean can be thought of as the “swash zone†for larger-scale internal wave fields on the continental shelf. These nearshore internal waves and bores have considerable implications for the cross-shelf exchange and transport of nutrients, sediments, contaminants, larvae, and other scalars; turbulent dissipation and diapycnal mixing; and hypoxia development. Despite the ramifications and a growing body of literature on the subject, many questions still remain with respect to the evolution, fate, and impact of internal waves and bores in the nearshore coastal environment. This talk addresses some of these questions using a combination of high-resolution field measurements and numerical modeling efforts. Challenges and issues related to the numerical modeling of internal waves and bores in the shallow coastal environment will be discussed.</font></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><span style="font-size:12.8px"><br></span></div><div style="font-size:12.8px"><b style="font-size:12.8px">HOST</b><span style="font-size:12.8px">:  Dr. Jose Castillo.</span></div></div>
