IAS Special Publication 35, Fluvial Sedimentology VII,comprises of a series of peer-reviewed papers that were initiallypresented at the 7th International Conference on FluvialSedimentology, held in Lincoln, Nebraska on August 6-10,2001.The 29 papers in this volume reflect the topical and geographicdiversity of exciting research conducted by fluvialsedimentologists at the beginning of the 21st century. Themesrepresented in this volume include (a) flow, sediment transport,and bedform dynamics, (b) characteristics of modern fluviallandforms, environments and systems, (c) physical analogue andnumerical modeling of fluvial systems, (d) the responses ofQuaternary fluvial systems to climate change, active tectonics,and/or sea-level change, and (e) characteristics of pre-Quaternaryfluvial deposits and evolution of pre-Quaternary fluvialsystems.
