EC08 was held in February in Orlando, Florida. The annual International Erosion Control Association (IECA) gathering featured a number of multi-disciplinary papers and lectures that highlighted the many intersections between the erosion and sediment control field and infrastructure sectors such as surface water quality, coastal protection and transportation.
What follows is the list of papers from the event and links to their abstracts. IECA has posted these papers online free for association members. Visit the IECA home page for information on membership plans and full access to the papers.
