DESCRIPTION:Water waves propagating over non-smooth\, large amplitude\, di
 sordered topography leads to novel asymptotic theory both at the level of 
 equations (i.e. reduced models) as well as at the level of solutions (i.e.
  effective behavior). In the reduced modeling of two-dimensional flows\, c
 onformal mapping plays an important role. This lecture will introduce the 
 use of conformal mapping together with nonlinear potential theory. The Sch
 warz-Christoffel Toolbox (by T. Driscoll) will also be introduced showing 
 how to extract quantitative information from the conformal mapping in a sp
 ecific flow domain. This is useful for computational applications. As time
  permits recent research examples will be presented such as pulse shaped w
 aves over a disordered (random) topography or in branching channels\n\n
