Primary Objectives

• to provide a forum for discussion between experts in industry, research, and official bodies on the state of the technology of predicting and understanding environmental forces
   
• to promote co-operation and pooling of knowledge
   
• to provide status reports and advice, by means of articles in the SUT journal, and through seminars and conferences

Aim

To encourage the advance and dissemination of knowledge in those aspects of the atmosphere and ocean which affect the design of offshore and underwater structures, or which affect offshore and underwater operations; also, the mechanisms by which these environmental factors produce forces on structures.

Representation

The Group shall consist of individuals having a close interest in the aims of the Group such that a broad representation is achieved of industry, academia, research institutes and government departments.
