Second IAG Yangtze Fluvial Conference
June 24-July 2, 2004, Shanghai, China
First Circular and Call for Abstracts
Organizer
East China Normal University
International Association of Geomorphologists Working Group on Large Rivers
Co-organizer
China Sedimentological Association
APN/IGCP-475 project
Background
This follows the very successful Yangtze Fluvial Conference organized by the East China Normal University and the IAG Working Group on Large Rivers in October-November 1999 that resulted in the publication of two special issues of the journal Geomorphology in 2001 and 2002. The IAG Working Group on Large Rivers has also organized other meetings since its inception to maintain the research interest and exchange of information on large rivers.
The Yangtze, an exceptionally important river for China, plays a crucial role in landform evolution, transfer of water and sediment from the interior to the coast, and supply of nutrients to the ocean. Its fascinating form and behavior are intricately linked with the monsoon system of climate and large-scale regional tectonics. It is also an excellent example of the interaction between human and nature as reflected in basin land use, water utilization, and large-scale engineering structures on the river.
This conference provides a wonderful opportunity for the diffusion of knowledge regarding large rivers of the world (research results from any river are welcome) and for traveling along a part of the Yangtze Plateau. We sincerely invite you participate this conference, bringing your idea from your river to share with others. Your participation is essential.
Post-conference publication (special issue on Geomorphology) is planned.

Location and time
June 24-July 2, 2004
Shanghai, China
Field excursion
Two field trips are planned:
1) Upper Yangtze plateau: starting from Chengdu (by van/on foot) to 3000-4000 m elevated Minjiang plateau (one the six major Yangtze tributaries), where attendees are to observe the large-scale alluvial fans; platforms; incised valley; neo-tectonic activities; changes of landuse; deforestation, and world heritage valley 鈥淛iu-Zha-Gou鈥縠tc.);
2) Starting from Chongqin (by boat) to 3-Goreges, attendees are to observe incised valley, alluvial fans, lesser gorges, hydrology, nature of rock formation, elevated water level of the first stage, new sites of migration, Dam-site, etc).
Detailed information on field trip will be given on 2nd circular or during the conference as Field Trip Guide
Schedule
06/24 Registration (East China Normal University, Shanghai)
06/25 Opening ceremony (Morning); presentation (afternoon); Welcome party (6:30 pm)
06/26 Presentation at East China Normal University, China;
06/27 Presentation at East China Normal University, China (late evening; fly to upper Yangtze at Chongqin/Chengdu);
