Fourth International Conference on Monitoring, Simulation, Prevention and Remediation of Dense and Debris Flow, Dubrovnik, Croatia
29 May 2012 - 29 May 2012
Croatia
Fourth International Conference on Monitoring, Simulation, Prevention and Remediation of Dense and Debris Flow will take place from 29 to 31 May 2012 in Dubrovnik, Croatia.
Debris and hyper-concentrated flows are among the most frequent and destructive of all water related processes. They mainly affect mountain areas in a wide range of morpho-climatic environments. In recent years, the flows have attracted more and more attention from the scientific and professional communities, as well as concern from the public, due to the increasing frequency with which they occur and the death toll they claim. This calls for improvements in the criteria used to identify debris flow risk areas and to design suitable prevention and mitigation measures.
The conference will provide a forum for researchers and engineers, scientists and managers from laboratories, industries, governments and academia to interchange knowledge and expertise in fields such as erosion and slope instability, sediment transport, debris flow and debris flood data acquisition, debris flow phenomenology and methodologies in monitoring, modelling debris flow phenomena.For further information, please visit http://www.wessex.ac.uk/12-conferences/debris-flow-2012.html(opens in new window)
