In 1977, the fluvial sedimentology community gathered in Calgary for the first meeting in what would become the seminal International Conference of Fluvial Sedimentology series. We are honoured to build upon that legacy at the 11th ICFS. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum to share recent developments and future directions in fluvial sedimentology. The entire range of subjects from the initiation of sediment transport to depositional basins will be covered.
In order to reflect the advances our field has made in the last four years and encourage communication across disciplinary and methodological boundaries, the organizing committee has suggested sessions built around the following broad themes:
River dynamics and change: Modeling, experiments, and field observations from modern and ancient systems aimed at understanding the fundamental physics, chemistry, and biology driving fluvial processes and how rivers respond to environmental forcing.
Rivers on the edge: Exploring processes and interactions of fluvial dynamics with other systems and extreme environments, including marine, lacustrine, eolian, Arctic, extra-terrestrial and pre-vegetated/vegetation-free landscapes.
Fluvial stratigraphy and subsurface resources: Using fluvial-process insight and case studies to explore, produce, and manage hydrocarbon, groundwater, geothermal, and mineral resources housed in fluvial deposits.
Managing fluvial landscapes: Leveraging state-of-the-art science to observe rivers, predict change, and engineer solutions to fluvial hazards.
The meeting will include a mix of oral and poster sessions as well as field trips before, during and after the conference. Full details can be found on our website, http://www.icfscalgary.com, which is constantly being updated.
We invite you to attend ICFS 11, and please feel free to pass along this email and first circular to colleagues and students. We are currently seeking field trip proposals, and suggestions for sessions. Please respond to this email with your proposals and ideas.
We look forward to seeing you in Calgary!
