Conference Theme
Click here to download the Coastal Sediments 2007 Final Program (PDF)The theme of Coastal Sediments 07 is
Coastal Engineering and Science in Cascading Spatial and Temporal Scales
This theme was chosen to stimulate research and papers devoted to the various scales of processes, and their interactions, at which coastal engineers and scientists must work in developing knowledge and capabilites to assist society in managing the coast. Emphasis will be on papers that recognize and relate to coastal morphology change of long-term consequence.
The conference venue is the Louisiana coast, a stimulating site supporting the conference theme. This coast is experiencing rapid and differential subsidence, severe reduction in renewable sediment supply, deltaic adjustment of fine-grained material, oil and gas exploration, and remolding by hurricanes. The theme is intended to generate papers and discussion of coastal sediment processes from the micro-scale to the regional scale at which integrated coastal design and management must be accomplished. Therefore, both basic and applied papers are welcome.
Abstracts are invited on the conference theme and the following and related subjects:
wind-blown sand, gravel transport, cohesive sediments, and mixed sediments
