Fluvial Sedimentology VII

IAS Special Publication 35, Fluvial Sedimentology VII, comprises of a series of peer-reviewed papers that were initially presented at the 7th International Conference on Fluvial Sedimentology, held in Lincoln, Nebraska on August 6-10, 2001. The 29 papers in this volume reflect the topical and geographic diversity of exciting research conducted by fluvial sedimentologists at the beginning of the 21st century. Themes represented in this volume include (a) flow, sediment transport, and bedform dynamics, (b) characteristics of modern fluvial landforms, environments and systems, (c) physical analogue and numerical modeling of fluvial systems, (d) the responses of Quaternary fluvial systems to climate change, active tectonics, and/or sea-level change, and (e) characteristics of pre-Quaternary fluvial deposits and evolution of pre-Quaternary fluvial systems.

Michael Blum is a Ritchie Distinguished Professor in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences-Geology at the University of Kansas. His research interests include earth-surface processes and fluvial and coastal sedimentology.

Susan Marriott is in the Department of Geography and Environmental Management at the University of the West of England, Bristol.

Suzanne Leclair is the editor of Fluvial Sedimentology VII, published by Wiley.
