For more than four decades, the INTERCOH conference has been at the forefront of tackling theoretical and applied cohesive sediments problems. It serves as the premier international platform for scientists and engineers working to understand cohesive sediment properties and dynamics in both natural and man-made environments via laboratory experiments, field observation, and numerical modeling. The 18th conference will be held between September 8-11, 2026, in New Orleans, LA at the Tulane River and Coastal Center and the University of New Orleans.
INTERCOH 2026 welcomes abstracts on all science and engineering topics related to cohesive sediment dynamics in riverine, estuarine, coastal, and deep ocean settings. These include, but are not limited to
- Case studies (especially those related to the Mississippi River and coastal Louisiana)
- Erosion, deposition, and consolidation
- Flocculation and floc properties
- Wave-mud interactions
- Processes in mud sedimentology
- Biological effects and biogeomorphology
- Mixed mud-sand transport in tidal flats to the continental shelf
- Beneficial use of dredge sediment
- Mud transport in bottom boundary layers
