CGRG Rivers and Fluvial Process
Rivers are a major element of the Canadian landscape and represent important wildlife habitant and economic, water supply and recreational resources. Research on rivers and fluvial processes in Canada is diverse, spans multiple disciplines, and occurs from the context of widely varying spatial and temporal scales. This special session is a forum for the fluvial geomorphic and Quaternary geology communities to present papers and posters on river and fluvial process studies. Topics could include, but are not restricted to, sediment transport, flow dynamics, channel processes, channel restoration, fluvial/glaciofluvial sedimentology, response to environmental or anthropogenic change, natural hazards, and post-glacial river system evolution.

  CGRG River Environment Processes Symposium

  The CGRG is sponsoring a River Environment Processes Symposium at the AGM this year. Submissions were invited for a series of inter-connected oral and poster sessions on recent research on the geomorphology, hydrology and biogeography of rivers and floodplains, especially in Canada, with applications to environmental change, human effects on rivers and riparian corridor management. There is a session devoted to urban rivers in particular. Prof. Stewart Rood (University of Lethbridge) will give a keynote talk. For additional information see the conference session website or contact Peter Ashmore.

  Special Session: Coastal and Northern Processes, Landforms, and Sediments

  The CGRG is sponsoring a special session entitled Coastal and Northern Processes, Landforms, and Sediments . The session is being presented in memory of Brian McCann and his contribution to Geomorphology in Canada. A day-long paper session is scheduled, with the contributions being collated into special journal issue. For additional information see the conference session website or contact Mary-Louise Byrne .
