Thematic Sessions
Review Process
Please be advised that Coastal Sediments conferences are highly competitive. Typically, many more abstracts are submitted than can be included in the Proceedings. We encourage a description of preliminary or final results in the abstract to demonstrate status of work. Abstracts should follow a logical development with introduction and motivation (short), procedure, and example results. Notification of acceptance or decline will be emailed to the corresponding author after July 15, 2006. Final papers are due December 15, 2006.
To the extent possible and appropriate, papers will be assigned to conference technical sessions based on the Topic and Sub-topic identified by the author and co-authors, as best suited for their subject material. Final papers of both oral presentations and the poster session will appear in the conference Proceedings.
Commitment to Attend and Expenses
Proposing authors must recognize that submission of an abstract is a commitment to complete the paper (if accepted), attend the conference, and present the paper. Submission of an abstract indicates that permission to present the paper has been obtained from the responsible owning authority of the subject project.
All expenses associated with the preparation, submission, and presentation of abstracts and papers are the responsibility of the authors. This includes preparation of camera-ready manuscripts and illustrations. Scholarship and/or travel funds are not available for conference attendees. All attendees are required to pay conference registration fees.
For questions regarding abstract submission, please contact us at Abstracts@CoastalSediments.org. Thank you for your interest. We are looking forward to another outstanding Coastal Sediments Conference, thanks to your participation.
