Invitation
The International Conference on Scour and Erosion has become a respected event in the technical conference calendar for engineers, scientists, decision makers and administrators working in all areas of hydraulics and geo-engineering. Its importance and reputation was established by the technical successes of the first three conferences: College Station in USA(2002), Singapore(2004) and Amsterdam(2006). We are delighted to host the fourth International Conference on Scour and Erosion in Tokyo, Japan. The conference provides a forum to discuss new developments, concepts and practices, and to share field experiences, problems and solutions dealing with scour and erosion issues in hillslope, fluvial, estuarine and coastal environments. It also inspires cross-disciplinary contributions pertaining to morphodynamics and sedimentary evolution, with increased appreciation of multi-scaled nature in sediment processes.
Tokyo, the capital of Japan, has been selected as the location for the conference. It is one of the world's most vibrant cities, with an outstanding reputation for the cultural activities and entertainment in diversity. You are invited to attend ICSE-4 (2008) in Tokyo.
Scope of the conference
Scour and erosion
is the suite of processes that dynamically modify the interface where
water and soil/rock meet. As such, hydraulics and geotechnics should be
tied even strongly. The integrity of structures in and near water bodies
is a good target in this direction. Those structures may include bridge
piers, flood-control levees, seawalls and offshore pipelines. Also, a
broader perspective for scour and erosion issues is becoming equally
important in addressing the performance of sediment routing systems that
may connect hillslope, fluvial, estuarine and coastal processes.
Certainly, mitigation of riverbed degradation or coastal erosion or both
will call for such a coherent approach in the context of integrated
sediment management. In
essence, the Conference welcomes scientific contributions in the following
themes or related subject matters:
a) Scour/erosion processes
(physical, theoretical or numerical modeling)
b) Consequences of scour/erosion
(case histories, field observations, analysis/prediction of real-life
problems)
c) Health monitoring of
scour/erosion-vulnerable structures
d) High-resolution imaging/remote
sensing for erosion-related morphological features
e) Applications of geographical
information science/engineering
f) Management of scour/erosion
(structural or non-structural measures, design philosophy)
g) Integrated sediment management: recent
advances
h) Hazard management case studies related to
scour erosion and other mass movements
Call for Papers
Official Language of the
conference is English. A review of papers shall be
made of full manuscripts, which should be 4 to 6 pages in length in their
final draft. The deadline for submission of papers for review is 30 April
2008 (extended).
More detailed information is available here.
