Conference Scope

The Conference will cover the fundamental researches on the process of cohesive sediment transport and its engineering application. The conference will highlight progress and future directions of research in cohesive sediment transport in the following categories:

• 1. Processes of fine-grained sediment transport
• 2. Dynamics and stability of muddy coasts
• 3. Field monitoring and remote sensing of suspended sediments
• 4. Cohesive sediment transport modeling
• 5. Innovative engineering solutions for sedimentation

Call for Papers and Submission

The authors of both invited and contributed papers are asked to submit extended(2-3 pages, single-spaced) abstracts. The abstracts of contributed papers must be received not later than November 30, 1997. The abstract, including title, author's name(s) and affiliation(s), should be typewritten in English and submitted through e-mail or air mail.

Abstracts should provide a brief summary of objectives, methods, and especially results obtained.

Submitted abstracts will be reviewed by the Conference Program Committee, and authors will be notified of the acceptance of their papers by December 31, 1997.

Financial Support

For those who need support to attend the Conference, limited amount of support would be available by Local Organizing Committee, especially for those participating from developing countries. Details on application for financial support would be announced later.

Field Trip

A technical field trip will be offered by Local Organizing Committee. The all-day tour to the western coastal area of Korea, abundant with cohesive sediments and large tidal flat including Incheon Port and International Airport construction site of new dimension in the tidal flat, will provide an opportunity to visit points of interest for the participants.

Conference Venue

The conference will be held at Korea Ocean Research and Development Institute(KORDI), Ansan, Korea. Ansan is located in the western coastal area nearby Seoul (about one hour by subway from downtown Seoul).

Correspondance

The correspondence concerning the Conference should be addressed to Dr. Kwang Soo LEE, Secretary of the Local Organizing Committee at the address given below.
