Sediment And Geochemical Budgets In Geomorphology

Honouring Professor Olav Slaymaker

About the conference

This international conference was convened to celebrate the achievements of Olav Slaymaker on the occasion of his retirement at the University of British Columbia, bringing together colleagues and past students of Olav, and everyone with an interest in sediment and geochemical budgets. The meeting included two days of presentations and two days of optional field trips to areas of geomorphological interest in southern British Columbia, one day led by Olav, Michael Bovis, and Erik Schiefer, and the other by Michael Church and Jon Tunnicliffe.

Papers presented at the Conference have since been published in:

Geomorphology Volume 79, Issues 1–2, Pages 1-142 (15 September 2006)
