Programme

In this focused workshop on Sediment Cascades and Climate Change we will:

Discuss the latest advances in identifying sediment sources, climate triggers and geomorphic cascades.

Build shared knowledge to innovate research ideas and strengthen regional and global collaborations.

Contextualize knowledge with residents’ stories and observe first-hand effects of recent extreme rainfall events on our field trip.

Collaborate for the future on long-term projects that amplify opportunities for training, student exchanges, and resources.

Accommodation, catering and workshop venue will be hosted onsite
