About the conference

KOZWaves will be the first international Australasian conference on wave science. It will provide a forum for contemporary research on wave science to be disseminated between the different branches of wave theory and its applications.

It will promote interdisciplinary collaborations between Australasian wave scientists, and also with leading international researchers.

The overarching aim of KOZWaves is to accelerate research progress in the various application areas of wave science conducted in Australasia, by sharing recent research advances and exploiting the mathematical connection between the different types of wave phenomena.

KOZWaves will focus, in particular, on development of theoretical and numerical tools to analyse waves. This will result in more accurate predictions of wave behaviours, and understanding how to control the unique properties of waves for our benefit.

KOZWaves will consider technical questions under the following categories.

  • Wave propagation in periodic media
  • Wave propagation in complex and random media
  • Forward and inverse scattering
  • Fast computational techniques
  • Nonlinear wave phenomena
  • Water waves and coastal modeling
  • Wave energy devices
  • Extreme ocean waves
  • Medical and seismic imaging
  • Waves in polar regions and environmental science

Accommodation Suggestions

Transportation

Sydney Airport to Newcastle

For those arriving at Sydney Airport we recommend taking the train to Newcastle. Take the Airport & East Hills train from Domestic/International Airport Station to Central Station and then the Newcastle and Central Coast train from Central Station to Newcastle Station. From Newcastle Station it is an easy walk to the recommended hotels. For more information and/or to plan your exact trip times see the CityRail website at www.cityrail.info.

Alternatively, there is the Happy Cabby Airport Shuttle Service which you will need to book in advance.

Newcastle Airport to Newcastle

For those arriving at the Newcastle Airport we recommend taking a taxi to Newcastle. The taxi rank is adjacent to the arrivals area of the terminal. Newcastle Taxis can be contacted directly, free-of-charge, on the dedicated taxi phone located in the arrivals end of the terminal.

Alternatively, you can catch the 130 or 131 bus from the Newcastle Airport to the Newcastle Station. From Newcastle Station it is an easy walk to the recommended hotels. For more information and/or to plan your exact trip times see the CityRail website or the Port Stephens Coaches timetables.

Local Transportation in Newcastle

Newcastle Taxis: bookings can be made online or by calling 133 300 within Australia.
