Dear All, We are running a workshop on mathematics and oceanography at the Fields Institute on June 13 - 16, 2011. The purpose is to bring together mathematicians and ocean scientists to confer on the present state of research and the current body of knowledge on ocean dynamics, and in particular on tsunami predictions and the dynamics of rogue waves. There is a sense of urgency in the ocean sciences and the mathematics communities over these questions, due to the very recent tsunami disaster in Japan. Our purpose is to inform the mathematics community about problems of prediction and of description of extreme ocean waves, and in particular the role that can be played by mathematical tools and techniques. As well, our purpose is to provide a venue from which collaborations are developed between the two communities of mathematicians and ocean scientists. You are all welcome to attend the workshop, which has no registration fee. More information is available at the Fields Institute website: http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/10-11/seawaves/ <http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/10-11/seawaves/> Hoping to see you there, Walter and Catherine
