SEDIMENT DYNAMICS FROM THE SUMMIT TO THE SEA
The Proceedings volume from icce 2014
Sediment Dynamics from the Summit to the Sea
Editor: Y. JUN XU
Co-Editors: MEAD A. ALLISON, SAMUEL J. BENTLEY, ADRIAN L. COLLINS, WAYNE D. ERSKINE, VALENTIN GOLOSOV, ARTHUR J. HOROWITZ & MIKE STONE
The contributions selected for this volume from ICCE2014 present the latest progress on research covering topics from hillslope and channel erosion to riverine sediment transport, sediment-associated contamination and pollution, catchment and river basin sediment yield, integrated erosion-sediment modelling, and sediment dynamics in coastal systems.
The New Orleans symposium on Sediment Dynamics from the Summit to the Sea continued the successful, ongoing series of International Commission on Continental Erosion (ICCE) of IAHS symposia but was unique in being held on a large river delta; and highlighting the beneficial sides of erosion and sedimentation in connection with coastal and delta building processes.

Complex Interfaces Under Change: Sea – River – Groundwater – Lake
C. Cudennec, M. Kravchishina, J. Lewandowski, D. Rosbjerg & P. Woodworth
(Editors)
The hydrosphere is dynamic across the major compartments of the Earth system: the atmosphere, the oceans and seas, the land surface water, and the groundwater within the strata below the two last compartments. The global geography of the hydrosphere essentially depends on thermodynamic and mechanical processes that develop within this structure. Water-related processes at the interfaces between the compartments are complex, depending both on the interface itself, and on the characteristics of the interfaced compartments.
Various aspects of global change directly or indirectly impact these interfaces and interfaced compartments and processes. Climate, sea-level, oceanographic currents and hydrological processes are all affected, while anthropogenic changes are often intense in the geographic settings corresponding to such interfaces.
This volume combines selected papers from two symposia, HP2 and HP3, held during the 2013 IAHS-IAPSO-IASPEI Assembly in Gothenburg, Sweden:
HP2: Land–Ocean Interaction – Hydrodynamics and Biogeochemistry, and
HP3: Implications of Sea Level Change for the Coastal Zone.

Water is life. Your water data is valuable, but getting the right information to the right people in real-time can be challenging. Technology “promises” anytime, anywhere access. The new AQUARIUS WebPortal actually delivers on that promise. Attend this webinar and discover how you can automatically share your quality water data with stakeholders in the office and in the field.
Get a look inside the Brisbane City Council Floodwise program, built on AQUARIUS WebPortal. Discover how 450 city officials can respond rapidly to flash foods. Colour-coded maps allow officials to quickly zone in on critical events and drill-down to related charts and tables. Powerful alerting capabilities, via email or SMS, enable officials to take timely action to protect residents.
