SCIENTIFIC SESSIONS

Fluvial sedimentology consists of very diversified disciplines, using multidisciplinary methods and covering very different geological times. As usual for the last ICFS editions the Ancient record, Quaternary deposits, Sedimentary processes and Modern environments, and Experimental and numerical models will be the major themes of ICFS 2023. Here you can find the list of the sessions, along with a description of related content.
