[Aqualist] Palaeofloods Conference New Zealand 2020: first call for papers

[Fuller, Ian]

With apologies for cross posting:

On behalf of the Organising Committee for the 6th International Palaeoflood Conference, we extend a warm invitation to join us at Massey University in Palmerston North, New Zealand for Palaeofloods VI, 29-31 January 2020. The theme for this event is understanding the past to prepare for the future. The need for robust reconstructions of flood histories is ever more pressing in an era of rapid global change. Improved understanding of past river behaviour and flood series extension are required to properly inform and prepare river managers, and society as a whole, for what the future may bring for our rivers and floodplains.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND? Anyone working on floods: past, present, and future. The conference theme aims to emphasise the inherent value in understanding flood histories in order to better understand future floods and prepare society for these events. Pure and applied research that is broadly relevant to this theme is welcome.

Please see the conference website for further details of the programme including fieldtrips, abstract submission and registration: http://www.massey.ac.nz/palaeofloods-2020

Abstracts due: 30 September 2019
