Deadlines
Abstract submission: The abstract submission deadline has passed Registration: Registration is now closed
|
Day 1
- sediment supply to the river system (through surface run-off, landslides, bank erosion, tributaries, bed degradation, …)
- bedrock incision and mixed-sediment processes
- downstream fining, river profile concavity, and gravel-sand transitions
- particle abrasion
Day 2
- bend sorting, mobile and static armor, bedform sorting, and their relation to river morphodynamics
- grainsize-selective and partial transport, hiding, and equal mobility
- interaction between wash load and river morphodynamics
Day 3
- advances in mathematical modelling of mixed-sediment morphodynamics
- river measures dealing with mixed-sediment issues (e.g. sediment augmentation and dredging)
- advances in measurement techniques of mixed-sediment processes (lab & field)
In setting up the workshop program we will focus on enhancing discussion. To this end we will schedule a limited number of presentations and plenty time for discussion and poster sessions. We will conduct a/some joint laboratory experiment(s) that will be led by graduate students and postdocs. The focus of the laboratory experiment(s) will be discussed before the workshop. Graduate students and whoever is interested will work with the data and we will discuss the experimental results the last day of the workshop. The workshop is connected to the Sediment Experimentalists Network (SEN, https://www.earthcube.org/group/sen). Links to the workshop’s experimental results, documentation, and pdfs of the talks and poster presentations will be provided to the community through the SEN website.
Please let us know if you are interested in the workshop and wish to receive next circulars.
