Invitation to ICEC-2006
|
|
It is my great pleasure to invite
you to attend the Second International Conference on
Estuaries & Coast (ICEC-2006), to be held in Guangzhou,
China from Nov. 28 to 30, 2006. |
|
The
central themes of ICEC-2006 is ‘Advance the Estuarine and
Coastal Engineering Research to Enhance the Ecological
Environment’, including four topics: Estuarine and Coastal
Processes, Estuarine Eco-Environment and Its Protection,
Maintenance and Management of Waterways in Estuaries and
Harbors, Research Technologies for Estuarine Engineering.
The ICEC-2006 will provide a forum for information exchange
of latest research and prospecting future for worldwide
academicians, scholars, engineers and decision makers in
this field.

Preface
Estuary and Coast
have distinguished geographical advantage in rich shipping and
soil resources, which provide strong support to local economic
and cultural development. Estuarine and coastal areas are
commonly the most developed and populous regions. With the
economic development, how to get along with natural environment
and maintain the sustainable development of economical society
has gained more and more attention from all social parties.
At present, many estuarine areas are suffering from wastewater
made by industrial, agricultural and daily-life. Red tides
frequently emerged. The environment of estuary and coast is
enouncing serious problems. The increasing demands in
freshwater, along with seawater intrusion often causing serious
situations, appeal to utilize water resource in a more rational
and reasonable way. An efficient and effective warning and
protection system is to be designed to prevent the estuary area
from the typhoon-caused disasters. The evolution of estuary and
coast is a colligation result of water, sediment and environment
factors. However, irrational exploitation will accelerate the
degradation of estuary environment that human beings rely on.
The research in estuary, coast and environment is urgent to be
deepened.
ICEC provides opportunities to exchange latest research results
in this field for worldwide academicians, scholars, engineers
and decision makers. ICEC-2003 was successfully held in Hangzhou,
China, there were more than 100 attendees from 33 countries and
regions.
ICEC-2006 will be held in Guangzhou, the central city of Pearl
River Delta, China, 28-30 Nov. 2006. The Pearl River is a great
river flowing through south China. As one of the most
complicated deltas, Pearl River Delta has unique hydrological
characteristic as "three rivers
inflow, eight outlets to sea". The
attendees of ICEC -2006 will experience the complication and
diversity of estuary and coast in the Pearl River Delta.
ICEC-2006 is organized by the International Research and
Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation (IRTCES) and Pearl
River Water Resource Commission, P. R. China and sponsored by
Pearl River Hydraulic Research Institute.
Guangzhou
Guangzhou is the capital city of Guan Dong Province, which is the center of economic, culture, technology and transport in South China. In Shui-Tang dynasty, more than 1400 years ago, Guangzhou was the departure port of the Silk Road on the sea and created splendid culture of South-Mountain. Guangzhou is also called "City of rams"and "City of rice ears". Guangzhou is located in the subtropics South Asia with oceanic monsoon climate and evergreen vegetation, being called as"City of flowers". Guangzhou offered its contribution to Chinese modern history. Nowadays, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macao and Shenzhen and etc. have built up Pearl River Delta Economic Circle. Guangzhou is a historic, friendly, beautiful and vigorous city. The weather in Guangzhou is pleasant in November, with an average temperature of around 20 ℃.
Pearl River Estuary
The Pearl River Delta is an alluvial plain of West River, North River and East River. The delta is covered by complicated river network. The Pearl River flows into the delta and pour forth to ocean through eight outflets, forming "three rivers flows in, eight outflows flow out". This estuary is one of the most complicated flow-sediment interaction regions in the world. The Pearl River Delta is also one of the most flourishing and developed area with particular geographic advantage. On the Pearl River Delta stand many large and middle cities such as: Hong Kong, Macao, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Zhuhai, Dongguan, Foshan, Zhongshan and Jiangmen.
