ICSE 2016 ?the 8th International Conference on Scour and Erosion

Date: September 12 ?16, 2016

Venue: Oxford, UK

Summary:  The ICSE conference series was initiated by the International Society for Soil Mechanics and Geotechnical Engineering (ISSMGE) in 2002 and is currently run by the Technical Committee TC213 (Scour and Erosion). This eighth conference in the series, ICSE 2016, is being organised by HR Wallingford, and will be held in Oxford, UK from 12-15 September 2016.

The conference provides a platform for scientists and engineers to exchange ideas and report advances in research and practice on scientific and engineering challenges related to scour and erosion. The broad topics covered in ICSE conferences include fundamental mechanisms of erosion and scour, modelling (both physical and numerical) of erosion and scour processes and engineering applications that involve scour and erosion processes. The ICSE conferences have been well attended by scientists and engineers from broad areas such as Civil Engineering, Hydraulic Engineering, Coastal and Offshore Engineering.

One of the strong features of the ICSE conferences has been the cross disciplinary collaborations and exchanges between geotechnical and hydraulic engineers. ICSE 2016 will endeavour to maintain the traditions of the ICSE conferences and build on the success of the previous ICSE conferences.

Themes: The International Scientific Committee of ICSE 2016 welcomes submissions from all areas with relevance to the following general conference themes:

?nbsp;        Internal erosion

?nbsp;        Sediment transport: grain scale to continuum scale

?nbsp;        Advanced numerical modelling of scour and erosion

?nbsp;        Terrestrial scour and erosion

?nbsp;        River and estuarine erosion including scour around structures

?nbsp;        Coastal and offshore scour and erosion

?nbsp;        Management of scour/erosion and sediment, including hazard management and sedimentation in dams and reservoirs.

Papers of a theoretical and practical nature are welcome, including case histories, field observations, analysis and prediction of real life problems, through to the use of advanced numerical methods in all of the above categories.

Authors will be noticed of acceptance for either oral or poster presentation by 2 November 2015. Both oral and poster presentations will be published as full-length papers in the book of conference proceedings.
