-Thematic School Tracing 2024-
Emerging strategies of sediment and contaminant tracing in catchments and river systems
The objective of this Spring Thematic School workshop is to bring together French and international experts working on various relevant topics to develop the critical guidance and standardization needed so that sediment fingerprinting and ancillary approaches can be adopted as a utilitarian and readily applicable sediment management and academic tool. Thematic workshops will be organized, drawing on the varied expertise, to set-up a concerted strategy to develop methodological approaches to apportion sediment to its source(s).
Original and international experiments will be designed, and an initiative (clearinghouse) will be presented for data sharing.
A potential practical contribution of the School could be the publication of dataset(s) in open access to test/calibrate/validate sediment tracing approaches in contrasted environments across the world.
This Spring School is organized to follow-up the discussions initiated during specifically dedicated sessions organized during the last years at the General Assembly of the European Geoscience Union (EGU) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU).
The full workshop programme can be found here.
Audience: Researchers/lecturers, postdoctoral fellows, PhD students, MSc students having a project using sediment tracing.
The PhD/MSc candidates will be selected based on their CV and their motivation to get trained to sediment tracing techniques.
Applications are now closed since 15 November 2023.
The official language of the Spring School will be English.
