Second IAG Yangtze Fluvial Conference Shanghai, China, August 20-28, 2003

This is a follow up of the very successful Yangtze Fluvial Conference organized by the East China Normal University and the IAG Working Group on Large Rivers in 1999 that resulted in two special issues of Geomorphology in 2001 and 2002. Paper sessions for the Second Conference will be held in Shanghai, Chongqing and Wuhan with a choice of a field trip either on the upper Yangtze plateau or along the gorges. The Conference should provide a wonderful opportunity for diffusion of knowledge regarding large rivers and for travelling along a part of the Yangtze. A post-conference publication is being planned. The conference themes are based on river hydrology and engineering, monsoon rivers, hazards, and river management. The meeting will be English. For details of the conference and the First Circular please contact Professor Z. Chen of the East China Normal University, Shanghai, e-mail.
