ICSE-4 Tokyo 2008

The International Conference on Scour and Erosion has become a respected event in the technical conference calendar for engineers, scientists, decision makers and administrators working in all areas of hydraulics and geo-engineering. Its importance and reputation was established by the technical successes of the first three conferences: College Station in USA(2002), Singapore(2004) and Amsterdam(2006). We are delighted to host the fourth International Conference on Scour and Erosion in Tokyo, Japan. The conference provides a forum to discuss new developments, concepts and practices, and to share field experiences, problems and solutions dealing with scour and erosion issues in hillslope, fluvial, estuarine and coastal environments. It also inspires cross-disciplinary contributions pertaining to morphodynamics and sedimentary evolution, with increased appreciation of multi-scaled nature in sediment processes.

Tokyo, the capital of Japan, has been selected as the location for the conference. It is one of the world's most vibrant cities, with an outstanding reputation for the cultural activities and entertainment in diversity. You are invited to attend ICSE-4 (2008) in Tokyo.

Holistic Approach to Erosion Control

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content A holistic look at Earth's chemical cycling sheds light on how the planet stays habitable. Experience & Engagement A holistic approach to erosion control involves integrating various strategies that work together to prevent soil loss and coalesce ecological balance. Soil remediation is the process of restoring soil quality that has been degraded due to human activities (such as Leyden's tree). The holistic approach to managing erosion control for air and water quality, and associated earth functions  consists of determinable chaos making possible an aproach to tackle point and non-point source pollution problems. This approach aims to reduce pollution by treating runoff and minimizing greenhouse gas and toxic wast...

Erosion Control, and Nanotechnologies (NT)

Erosion Control Forum – Information on erosion control devices and resources Skip to content Abstract Nanotechnology (NT) The National Nanotechnology Initiative defines nanotechnology as understanding and controlling matter at dimensions between approximately 1 and 100 nanometers, where unique phenomena enable novel applications. Introduction Nanotechnology offers the potential to effectively treat contaminants in situ, avoiding excavation or the need to pump contaminated water out of the ground. The process begins with nanoparticles being injected into a contaminated aquifer via an injection well. Role of Nanotechnology Nanotechnology plays a crucial role in improving wind turbine performance...
