This meeting will build on the successful interdisciplinary workshop on Internal Waves in Banff, Alberta in April 2010, and we will continue to pursue the approach of taking a broad perspective on Internal Gravity Waves. To that end, a wide variety of researchers from oceanography, atmospheric sciences, astrophysics and also researchers with wide ranging interests in stratified fluids have been invited.
Les Houches is
a resort village in the Chamonix valley in the French Alps. Established
in 1951, the Physics School is located in a group of chalets surrounded
by meadows and woods, at an altitude of 1150 m facing the Mont-Blanc
range - a very favourable environment for intellectual activity in
ideal surroundings for hiking, mountaineering and sight-seeing.
The Physics School is affiliated with Université Joseph Fourier and Institut National Polytechnique de Grenoble, and is supported by the Ministère de l'Education Nationale, de l'Enseignement Supérieur et de la Recherche, by the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) and by the Direction des Sciences de la Matièe du Commissariat à l'Energie Atomique (CEA/DSM).
