Third International Workshop Formation
and Migration of Dunes Laayoune, Maroc
12-21 April 2004 |
The international workshop Formation and Migration
of Dunes has been organsied in Tunisia in 1999 and in Mauritania in 2001.
It will take place in 2004 in Morocco under the responsability of Ibn
Zohr University (Agadir), that has scientific collaboration with Ecole
Normale Supérieure de Paris, Université Pierre et Marie
Curie, Université de Rennes I, Faculté des Sciences et Techniques
de Nouakchott and Cemagref de Grenoble. It is a scientific event bringing
together periodically searchers and international experts around the problem
of dunes, understood in all its pluridisciplinary aspects, from the dynamics
of granular material to the fight again sand invasion. The workshop is conceived
as a federative collaboration North-South bringing the interest of the international
community on the problem of desertification, actual threat against the
developpment of Great Maghreb countries.
The workshop is a open to the various specialists of applied and
fundamental research, the talks being submitted to a scientific commity
before being accepted in the forthcoming program. It is funded by EU,
CNRS, NASA, etc and by the moroccan organisms that will cover the general
