In<br>\r\nthis talk, I will consider two-dimensional travelling waves governed by the full Euler equations<br>\r\nand driven solely by gravity. I will present two recent results. First, using global bifurcation<br>\r\ntheory, we construct periodic travelling waves with arbitrary vorticity. These waves may exhibit<br>\r\ncritical layers and overhanging profiles, illustrating the rich range of phenomena permitted in the<br>\r\nwater wave problem.
