106th Annual Meeting of the Association of American Geographers

April 14-18, 2010
Marriott Wardman Park Hotel and Omni Shoreham Hotel
Washington, DC

5th International Symposium on Gully Erosion: Human Impact on Gully Erosion

April 20-25, 2010
Maria Curie-Sklodowska University
Lublin, Poland

Organized by the Institute of Earth Sciences, Maria Curie-Sklodowska University, the Association of Polish Geomorphologists and the Polish Geographical Society

Registration is now open for the 5th International Symposium on Gully Erosion.

Formation and development of gullies is one of the most important geomorphological processes influencing the landscapes of agricultural areas all over the world. Human impact plays major role in gully erosion. This phenomenon causes several important on-site and offsite consequences at the same time.

Good recognition of factors influencing the intensity gully erosion constitutes not only a scientific problem but also an applicative one - in many regions it could be treated as a basis for sustainable development of agricultural areas. That is why the number of the scientific meetings related to the problem increases.

The first symposium on gully erosion was held in Leuven (Belgium) in 2000, there were also meetings in Chengdu, China (2002), Oxford, USA (2004) and in Pamplona, Spain (2007). The present symposium, planned for April 2010 in Lublin (Poland), will focus on human and gully erosion interactions.

Several topics will be discussed:

historical gully erosion all over the world

present day intensity of gully erosion processes

human impact on gully erosion (role of land use)

prevention and restoration of gullies
