Physical Ocenography Workshop 2026
About this Event
Welcome to the biannual New Zealand Physical Oceanography Workshop (POW).
As climate change fundamentally reshapes our marine environments, understanding the fluid dynamics, heat distribution, and structural dynamics of our oceans has never been more critical. This year, our community gathers under a vital, unifying theme: The physics of the ocean in the age of multiple stressors.
We invite abstracts and presentations exploring the fundamental physical processes driving—and reacting to—global environmental change:
- Coastal Oceanography of New Zealand
- High-Latitude and Polar Dynamics
- Next-Generation Ocean Modelling & Data Integration
- Cross-Disciplinary Climate Solutions
- How to do oceanography in the age of gestures broadly
Call for Abstracts & Registration Details
- Oral Presentations: Standard 15-minute slots (including Q&A).
- Lightning Talks: Project snapshots—ideal for introducing preliminary findings, novel scripts, or new field deployments.
How to Submit: Please email your presentation title, authors' list, a brief abstract (max 250 words), and your presentation preference directly to the organising committee at [email protected].
- Abstract Submission Deadline: 1 August 2026
- Registration Deadline: 20 August 2026
- Hybrid Registration Deadline: 1 September 2026
Registration is $100 for general attendees and free for students. We also have a free hybrid attendance option with the ability to present. Early-career researchers are highly encouraged to present.
We are planning a fun dinner on Wednesday, and we aim to finish early on Thursday.
We're looking ofrward to seeing you in September!
