BSG Fixed Term Working Group on Upland Sediment Budgets
Co-ordinated by David Higgitt and Jeff Warburton
Department of Geography, University of Durham
Upland environments are often sensitive to disturbance. Geomorphological studies of the impacts of change over contemporary and historic timescales can make an important contribution to resource management issues in upland environments. The aim of this working group is to discuss approaches to sediment budget evaluation in upland environments. The objectives are:
1) Provide a forum for the discussion of key issues concerning the study of upland sediment budgets.
2) Run field-based meetings to demonstration contemporary issues in upland sediment budget research
3) Evaluate techniques for estimating rates of sediment transfer over contemporary and historic timescales in upland environments.
4) Raise awareness of upland sediment budget studies in the UK and Internationally.
