From 2002-09-02 to 2002-09-06

Venue: Alice Springs
Northern Territory, Australia

Summary:
The Symposium will focus on different aspects of the fluvial sedimentary system, recognizing the importance of these systems and the way in which they are managed to the health of riverine systems.

The Symposium is organized under the auspices of the International Commission on Continental Erosion of the IAHS and the International Hydrological Programme of UNESCO. It will contribute to UNESCO IHP-V Project 2.1 "Vegetation, Land Use and Erosion", which explicitly addresses this theme.

Articles will be welcomed which address one of the four themes covered by the Symposium:
1) Ecogeomorphology: Linking the physical form of fluvial sedimentary systems with ecological response
2) Floodplains: The role of temporary storage in the exchange of sediment and nutrients
3) Variability: Magnitude and frequency: controlling sedimentary systems
4) Techniques: New approaches in the study of fluvial sedimentary systems.

Organizers: International Association of Hydrological Sciences
