The coastal ocean contains a diversity of physical and biological
processes, often occurring at vastly different scales. In this talk,
we will outline some of these processes and their mathematical
description. We will then discuss how finite element methods are used
in coastal ocean modeling and recent research into
improvements to these algorithms. We will also highlight some of the
successes of these methods in simulating complex events, such as
hurricane storm surges. Finally, we will outline several interesting
challenges which are ripe for future research.
