Date: May 2-6, 2011
Venue : Miami, Florida, USA
Summary: The conference Organizing Committee welcomes you to the Seventh International Symposium on Coastal Engineering and Science of Coastal Sediment Processes—Coastal Sediments '11!
The Coastal Sediments'11 conference is the seventh in the series following the inaugural conference in 1977. The Coastal Sediments technical specialty conferences provide an international forum for exchange of information among coastal engineers, geologists, marine scientists, shallow-water oceanographers, and others interested in the physical processes of coastal sediment transport and morphology change.
Coastal Sediments 11 will continue to maintain the high quality of presentations and Proceedings which has made the event a valuable professional learning experience with a legacy of a frequently consulted Proceedings volume.
Topics: Abstracts are invited on the conference theme and the following topics, employing approaches including theoretical formulations, field or laboratory observations, numerical modeling, or case studies ( see authors information for additional information):
Beach nourishment and shore protection
Coastal sediment transport and morphology change
Climate change and relative sea-level rise
Coastal dunes and aeolian transport
Shoreline change
Coastal response to hurricanes and storms
Coastal geology and geomorphology
Cohesive sediment processes
Fate of dredged material and morphologic response to dredging
Fundamentals of coastal sediment processes
Gravel transport processes
Inlets and estuaries
Marshes and wetlands
River deltas
