ISOPE Conference and Symposium Proceedings
The International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE), P.O. Box 189, Cupertino, California 95015-0189 USA, holds various conferences, symposia and exhibitions every year. The conferences and exhibitions provide an international forum where the engineers, managers and academia come each year to present and share new challenges and solutions in ocean, offshore and polar engineering.
All papers are peer-reviewed for publication in the ISOPE conference and symposium proceedings:
Proceedings of Annual International Ocean (Offshore) and Polar Engineering Conference (ISOPE), ISSN: 1098-6189.
Proceedings of Ocean Mining (and Gas Hydrates) Symposium (OMS) (biennial), ISSN: 1946-0066.
Proceedings of Pacific Asia Offshore Mechanics Symposium (PACOMS) (biennial), ISSN: 1946-004X.
Proceedings of the European Offshore Mechanics Symposium (EUROMS)
Proceedings of ISOPE International Deep-Ocean Technology (IDOT)
The primary aim of the ISOPE Conference and Symposia is to serve engineers and researchers worldwide by disseminating technical information of permanent interest in the fields of offshore, ocean, polar energy, offshore wind energy, and related science and technology. Since 1990, the International Society of Offshore and Polar Engineers (ISOPE) has been very active in the dissemination of technical information and organization of symposia and conferences in these fields throughout the world.
Theoretical, experimental and engineering research papers are welcome. Research results or outstanding engineering achievements of likely interest to readers are also welcome.
