When waves go rogue

Ton van der Bremer, an associate professor of environmental fluid mechanics, dives into the haunting mystery of rogue waves. He reveals how these towering giants can arise unexpectedly, shattering myths of folklore. The conversation explores the bizarre dynamics that allow smaller waves to collide and form these colossal forces, along with experimental attempts to replicate their behavior. With a blend of science and storytelling, Ton paints a vivid picture of the ocean's unpredictable nature and the challenges that come with predicting such phenomena.
