Talk | Seated
Dr. SIMON BOXALL: Dr Simon Boxall is a senior lecturer in Oceanography at the University of Southampton and is also responsible for the public understanding of the oceans.

TALK: We all come across waves, whether on a cruise ship in a storm or the gentle lapping of waves against the shore as we enjoy a day at the beach. But what causes waves and how diverse can they get? Rogue waves that can exceed 30m in height, the 18 m tidal wave that hit Bristol, and the enormous energy potential in our waves. They can be both destructive and useful.Find out more in this talk that illustrates a complex science phenomenon in easy to understand terms.
