About the conference

We welcome you to the international conference to celebrate the achievements of Olav Slaymaker on the occasion of his retirement at The University of British Columbia. The conference is for colleagues and past students of Olav, and for everyone with an interest in sediment and geochemical budgets. The meeting includes 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.

Keynote presentations will be given by Professors Nel Caine and Tom Dunne.
