AMA – 3RD INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM 2010 – EGYPT

The organizing team of the- Living with Landscapes- international symposiums, would like to invite you, yet again, to its third annual gathering for even more of the same excellent academic interaction, networking and exchange of experience and achievement regarding Man’s ingenious ways of adaptation with different landscapes and geomorphic environments.

We have over-passed ourselves this time, by choosing even more distinctive settings for you to explore and enjoy. First, is of course the legendary Nile River with its spectacular sceneries and history-long cultural significance stretching between two of the most ancient and “monumental” cities in the world; the mystical Luxor and Aswan. This is, of course, in addition to the beautiful Marsa Alam resort at the Red Sea, with its warm climate, wondrous sceneries and breathtaking underwater coral gardens and marine life.

As usual, oral and poster presentations will be orchestrated amongst field workshops in marine and desert excursions in order to weave maximum academic benefit with enjoyment and refreshment. This time, we intend to offer you unique opportunities for academic exposure and experience.

Objectives: Definitions of Man’s methods of integration within various landscapes should help our understanding of the interactive nature of the relationship between geomorphology and human activities. Of particular interest here are investigations of fluvial and coastal regions, with their geomorphic processes and strong relationships to global environmental change. While continually offering mankind a variety of unique goods and services, coral reefs and mangrove, as micro-geo-systems, are very sensitive to global change.

Topics:
1.Methods of adaptation in conditions of climatic change, and coastal and fluvial landforms’ evolution.
2. Geodiversity of coastal and fluvial landscapes.
3. Geoarchaeology of coastal and fluvial landscapes.
4.Man and coastal geomorphology.
5.Man and adaptation with floods.
6. Floods and how they affect the human communities.
7.Adaptation with side effects of river dams.
8.Living with torrential rainfall.
9.Paleokarst in different regions.
10.Karst of sea coasts and coral reefs.

Languages: English will be the only official language of the conference.
