NEWS AND NOTICES PNEUMATIC WAVE ENERGY CONVERSION (and Related Topics) A Speciality Conference of The Waterway, Port, Coastal and Ocean Engineering Division American Society of Civil Engineers 17-18 June 1986 Scripps Institution of Oceanography, La Jolla, CA, U.S.A. SCOPE Of the many methods of converting the energy of ocean waves into more usable forms, the pneumatic technique has been chosen by several countries for their national programs. This ASCE Speciality Conference is devoted to the advances in pneumatic wave energy conversion and associated technologies such as energy transfer, storage and integration. Several at-sea national programs involving pneumatic systems will be described. Special seminar sessions will also be held to both introduce and discuss new ideas in wave energy conversion. PROGRAM 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9.
