Overview

The IAHR Committee on Coastal and Maritime Hydraulics (CMH) is pleased to announce an open call for candidates to fill three (3) positions on its Leadership Team (LT). This call is conducted in accordance with the IAHR by-laws.

The CMH is an interdisciplinary committee covering all aspects of maritime, coastal, and estuarine problems including coastal morphology, waves, tides, currents, sedimentation, and pollution.
