The 8th International Symposium on Gully Erosion will be held in Townsville QLD, Australia on 21-27 July 2019. Come to the world's largest and friendliest conference on gully erosion!
Symposium Themes:
- Gully erosion processes under climate and landuse forcing
- Experimental and measurement techniques
- Modelling, assessment and prediction
- Management and prevention including biophysical, social and economic aspects
Call for Abstracts is open – closing on 22 March. Abstracts are rolling in – share your work today!
Keynote Speakers announced! We are excited to announce two leading researchers as Keynote Speakers in Townsville – Matthias Vanmaercke (Belgium) and Estela Nadal-Romero (Spain). Matthias' recent research has focused on modelling gully erosion rates at regional and continental scales. Estela has focused on the interactions between hydrology, vegetation and erosion in gully and badland environments. Both these areas are critical to advancing understanding of gully erosion behaviour and management.
The Program includes two field trips to established gully research and remediation sites. Social functions will include a behind the scenes tour of the ReefHQ aquarium and turtle hospital, and pre and post-conference activities.
Registration is open (https://events.csiro.au/Events/2018/February/12/8th-International-Symposium-on-Gully-Erosion) – earlybird rates available until 3 May (save $140!)
