Model Equations for Waves and some Applications to Problems in Geophysics
by
Jerry L. Bona
Department of Mathematics, Statistics & Computer Science, The. Univeristy of Illinois at Chicago

After a very brief tour through the historical context, we explain how model equations for waves arise as approximation of the full water wave problem. Attention is then turned to some interesting applications of these model equations to issues arising in describing some of the large scale motions of the ocean and in coastal engineering contexts.
