I would like to bring to your attention the following announcement for the
3rd International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics with a Special
Theme in Urban Fluid Dynamics to be held in Tempe, Arizona in December 2001.

I also would like to encourage you to submit an abstract in
Atmospheric Dispersion or one of the other Special Urban Topics; also please
pass this information on to your colleagues. We look forward to an interesting
and stimulating Symposium in Tempe and hope to see you there. Please let me
know if you plan to or do submit an abstract. Thank you.

Please note that the abstract deadline is January 31, 2001.

Sincerely,

Jeff Weil
Convenor, Atmospheric Dispersion Session
 

CALL FOR PAPERS

     THIRD INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON ENVIRONMENTAL HYDRAULICS
          with a Special Theme in URBAN FLUID DYNAMICS

            Arizona State University, Tempe, Arizona

                    December 5 - 8, 2001
 

                   SPECIAL URBAN TOPICS:

                 "Atmospheric Dispersion"
             "Chemical and Biological Effects"
         "Microscale and Mesoscale Atmospheric Flows"
            "Thermally-Driven Environmental Flows"
       "Remote Sensing of the Urban Environment and Water Quality"
 

The 3rd International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics will be
held between 5 - 8 December 2001 in Tempe, Arizona within the greater
Phoenix metropolitan area, known as the "Valley of the Sun." As with
the previous two highly-successful meetings in this series (held at
the University of Hong Kong in 1991 and 1998), the overall theme of
the Symposium is the application of fluid dynamics research to issues
that currently face policy makers in the management of air and water
resources. Full details of the meeting scope, topics, and registration
procedures are given at the Symposium website
http://www.eas.asu.edu/iseh2001

As you can see, the Symposium has a special theme of Urban Fluid Dynamics.
Within the regular Hydraulics Symposium, sessions will be held on
1) turbulence and diffusion, 2) jets, plumes, and wakes, 3) stratified and
rotating flows, topographic effects, and outfalls, 4) environmental
impact and risk assessment, 5) remote sensing of the urban environment
and water quality, and a number of other topics. In the Urban Fluid
Dynamics portion of the Symposium, sessions will be held on the
Special Topics listed at the top, "Atmospheric Dispersion" etc. Please
visit the website noted above to learn more about the details and
location of the Symposium, including the fascinating geography and
sightseeing in the area.

I am writing to ask you to consider attending the Symposium and
submitting an abstract for the "Atmospheric Dispersion" session or one
of the others in the Urban Fluid Dynamics Theme. We welcome contributions
from laboratory and/or theoretical studies, numerical investigations,
or field-based studies. I would appreciate your passing this message on
to colleagues working in these fields. Please also note that the
Symposium organizers are encouraging participation from researchers
from emerging nations (with the potential of financial support); your
help in disseminating this information to your colleagues in these
regions is very much appreciated.

If you wish to present a paper in any of the sessions, please submit a
one-page abstract to Robert Rankin, the Symposium Secretary, by
January 31, 2001. Electronic submission is preferred using the website,
www.eas.asu.edu/iseh2001/abstracts and pre-registration using the
Symposium website is strongly encouraged.
