This conference brings together all those involved in researching particulate gravity currents and adjacent areas of research. We welcome PhD students and early career researchers working in this field, as well as established researchers.
We are planning an exciting programme of keynote talks, contributed talks, and academic posters across three research-packed days, along with a conference dinner and other networking opportunities.
This conference covers all methods of study, including theoretical, numerical, experimental, and fields studies. Topics covered by the conference include (but are not limited to):
- Particle driven currents
- Compositional (salinity/thermal) currents
- Granular/snow avalanches
- Rheology of granular flows
- Sedimentary deposits and paleocurrents.
Details of the scheduled talks follow, as well as information on how to submit an abstract for a speaker or poster slot.
