IntroductionIn the 20 th anniversary of holding the first International Conference on Coasts, Ports andMarine Structures (ICOPMAS), The 9 th conference (ICOPMAS 2010) with overall theme of"The effect of Climate Changes and Global Warming on Coasts, Ports and MarineStructures" has been successfully held on Nov. 29 th to 1 st Dec. 2010 in Hotel OlympicTehran-Iran. The Conference is organized by the Ports & Maritime Organization of Iran(PMO) in cooperation with International Maritime associations, domestic and foreignorganizations, universities and consulting engineers. The Moral sponsors of the conferenceare International Maritime Organization (IMO), The World Association for WaterborneTransport Infrastructure (PIANC), The International Association of Ports and Harbors(IAPH), International Hydrographic Organization (IHO), International Association of MarineAids to Navigation and Lighthouse Authorities(IALA), World MeteorologicalOrganization(WMO), World Maritime University(WMU), Coordinating Committee onHydrometeorology and Pollution Monitoring of the Caspian Sea(CASPCOM).Participants and opening ceremonyA total of 950 scientists, engineers, researchers, university students and decision makersfrom 15 countries, including officials from international organizations and relevantorganizations attended the important technical event. At the opening ceremony, Dr.H.Behbahani Minister of Road and Transportation and Mr. A.Sadr vice Minister of Road andTransportation and P.M.O. Managing Director delivered their speech by emphasizes oninvigorating technical and specialized cooperation among all countries, especially coastalneighboring ones. Mr. Sadr mentioned that the theme of the conference bring out twoespecial points that our scientists and experts should resolve the present and future of humanlife related to climate change and there are lots of projects in this field.Opening ceremony - 29 th Nov. 2010

Dr. H. Behbahani, Minister of Road & Transportation of I.R.Iran, at the opening ceremonyPapersRegarding the vast announcement about the ICOPMAS 2010 by International organization,universities and special websites, 444 extended abstracts from more than 17 countries such asThe USA, France, England, Portugal and Australia, have been sent to the permanentsecretariat via the conferences website and after the online assessment by Iranian and foreignscientific committee 177 abstract have been selected to send the full papers in five subjects,57 abstracts on the field of Hydrodynamics & Marine Engineering, 29 abstracts on the fieldof Ports & Coastal Management , 62 abstracts on the field of Marine Structures, 3 abstractson the field of Channels and Navigation Roots and 27 on the field of Safety and MarineEnvironment. It is noteworthy that all accepted abstracts & sent full papers were distributedto the conference's participants within a DVD and should be also mentioned that to downloadaccepted abstracts please refer to the conference website: http://icopmas.pmo.ir Theconference was held in 4 halls by presenting 80 oral presentation, 39 posters, 8 workshopsand 9 keynote speeches.

Key note speakersDuring the opening session of the conference,Mr. Rene Coenen, Deputy Director, office forthe London convention, Marine EnvironmentalDivision, described the "Convention on thePrevention of Marine Pollution by Dumpingof Wastes and Other Matter 1972" (the"London Convention") was one of the firstglobal conventions to protect the marineenvironment from human activities and has beenin force since 1975. Its objective is to promotethe effective control of all sources of marinepollution and to take all practicable steps toprevent pollution of the sea by dumping ofwastes. Currently, 86 States are Parties to thisConvention.Robert G. Dean, Professor Emeritus in theCoastal and Oceanographic EngineeringProgram, civil and Coastal EngineeringDepartment, University of Florida, Gainesville,Florida, made his speech about “Sea LevelAcceleration: Based on Analysis of TideGauge Records” and surprisingly conclude thattheir analyses of long term U. S. gages show asmall negative acceleration during the 20 thcentury and Acceleration results from long termworldwide gages are consistent with findingsbased on U. S. gages. It is surprising that withmost of the anthropogenic effects occurring inthe 20 th century, there is not corresponding sea level acceleration and he mentioned that othereffects dominant over Green House Gas emissions and global Warming during the 20 thcentury.Prof. Yoshimi Goda, Professor Emeritus fromYokohama National University and ECOHCORPORATION, presented "CoastalProtection Planning against Sea Level Rise"and he wrapped up by mentioning that the sealevel rise is a slow but confirmed process andadaptation plan should be revised every ten (10)years. Protective facilities should be capable offuture improvement, so Dikes/seawalls need tobe heightened and reinforced as the design waterlevel and wave heights are raised.

On the second day of the conference PIANC (Theword association for water born infrastructure)was introduced by Mr. Louis Van Schel, SecretaryGeneral. It was mentioned that PIANC is theforum where professionals around the world joinforces to provide expert advice on cost-effective,reliable and sustainable infrastructures to facilitatethe growth of waterborne transport. Established in1885, PIANC continues to be the leading partnerfor government and private sector in the design,development and maintenance of ports, waterwaysand coastal areas.Prof. Charitha Pattiaratchi, Professor of CoastalOceanography at The University of WesternAustralia and head of School of EnvironmentalSystems Engineering, presented "Climate changeeffects on coastal processes" and mentioned thatto predict beach stability we have to includechanges to wave and storm surge climate as wellas mean sea level, Hind casts of waves and stormsurges does not indicate major changes in existingclimate, Expect a decrease in mean water levelsover next 10 years due to tidal effects, Mean sealevel changes has many components andimplications for coastal flooding, beach stabilityand coastal infrastructure.Prof. Mike Risk, professor emirates with an actionresearch in marine biology, spoke about "Newtechniques in environmental monitoring:Biology helps engineering". The use of "hardparts" of long-lived organisms such as corals,gorgonians and antipatharians (Black Corals) toextract information about present and pastconditions was described with the case study ofJadah ports in red sea and extend the work inPersian Gulf and Caspian Sea.

On the final day of the conference "Applicationof Unstructured Grid Model to Tsunami WavePropagation and Inundation Covering a WideRange of Spatial Resolution" was presented byProf. Jun Sasaki, Department of Civil EngineeringYokohama National University, it was concludedby mentioning the advantages of open sourceunstructured models such as flexible and accuraterepresentation of complex geometry, Capable ofcovering wide range of spatial scale on one gridsystem and efficient MPI parallel computing onclusters and parallel supercomputers.The next key note speaker was Prof Shan Huang,Professor at Department of Naval Architectureand Marine Engineering, University ofStrathclyde, Glasgow, UK. His outstandingspeech was about "Marine Riser for DeepwaterOffshore Engineering" and it was concluded thata number of old and new fluid/line structuresinteraction problems in the context of deepwaterrisers and these problems have not beenunderstood and to understand them we must, asthe deepwater E&P can be risky."Durable concrete for Sustainable developmentin marine structures" was delivered by Prof. AliAkbar Ramezanianpour, Prof. at ConcreteTechnology and Durability Research Center ofAmirkabir University. In this presentation the roleof cement and concrete in sustainabledevelopment is discussed. The use of bio-fuelsand alternative raw materials can reduce the CO2emission in cement production. Supplementarycementing materials are new widely used formaking durable concretes and reducing the CO2emission. Deterioration of concrete structures inmarine environments is discussed. Considering theenvironmental loads in the design of durable concrete structures is an important issue. Finallya proposed service life prediction model for durability design of marine concrete structures ispresented.
