International Conference on
Fluvial Sedimentology 2023

2 - 7 July 2023 | Riva del Garda, Italy

THE ICFS CONFERENCE

Since its first edition, in 1977, the International Conference on Fluvial Sedimentology has been held almost in all the continents. After more than 40 years, the ICFS is still the most relevant international platform where the fluvial sedimentology community can meet and debate.
The ICFS is an outstanding window on the questions posed by the academic research and on the application of scientific concepts and tools to the needs of society.
The scientific community joining the ICFS has been growing, and in the last editions also geomorphologists, engineers and ecologists presented researches with different viewpoints on the processes, deposits and landforms that are connected to the fluvial systems. Following the introductory ICFS2021 online meeting, we are finally ready to meet in the outstanding frame of Riva del Garda, in Italy, during the 12th ICFS edition.
This meeting will consider fluvial systems in their general and specific aspects at different time and spatial scales, from basin analysis and the source-to-sink approach in a continental scale down to the analysis of bedforms and depositional facies in outcrops, cores, flumes and virtual reality.
