United States Department of Agriculture Research, Education and Economics Agricultural Research Service August 18, 2004 Dear III GEGC Participants: Enclosed is the long-awaited CD of the Proceedings of the Third International Symposium on Gully Erosion under Global Change that was held in Oxford, Mississippi, from April 28 through May 1, 2004. The CD contains the program, a list of the attendants, a list of authorship, full papers and abstracts, some of the Power Point presentations if approval was given, and a summary of the Panel discussions. Also, we received one manuscript from a participant, who at the last moment, was not able to attend the conference. This article was added to the proceedings. Also several submitted abstracts were included on the CD although the presenters were not able to attend for various reasons. Because there are many different computer systems, it is possible that the Power Point presentations might not work on certain computers. At the time the CDs were made, all presentations were working using Microsoft Power Point 2002. We very much appreciate your participation in and contribution to the success of this Symposium. We regret the delay in getting this CD to you, but we opted to wait in order to include all of the completed manuscripts that were promised. With this mailing, our work is not yet completed. We are still pursuing the possibility of having the contributions published as a special publication or as a batch of articles in a refereed outlet. We are in contact with the Soil and Water Conservation Society (SWCS) and the American Geophysical Union (AGU) to explore the best option. The selection will be based on cost, expected circulation, and the type of paper that these societies are likely to accept for publication. We will keep you posted about developments. It was a pleasure having the opportunity to host this Conference in Oxford, Mississippi. For the Organizing Committee, M.J.M.

Gullys affect land use, land accessibility, soil productivity, farming, roads, the stream system, etc. It produces more sediment than any other erosion mode. Gully erosion has received comparatively less attention than rainfall or overland flow induced erosion due to the complicated nature and scale of the processes involved. Gullys are the pathways sediment to move from upland areas to channels and lakes of the drainage system. Given the import and dominant nature of gully erosion on many landscapes in many parts of the world, a series of International Symposia on Gully Erosion were organized in recent years to bring together erosion research scientists and specialists from many parts of the world to discuss this problem area. The first Symposium was held in April, 2000, in Louvain, Belgium, the second one in May, 2002, in Chengdu China. This Symposium, planned for April 2004, very much continues the topics and themes of the previous conferences and has as general objectives: 1 to improve the understanding of fundamental processes and mechanisms of gully erosion, 2 to improve gully erosion prediction, and 3 to develop techniques, technologies and strategies to control/prevent gully erosion. Specific themes of interests related to this gully erosion symposium are: Experimental investigations on gully erosion Characterization of gully erosion processes and topology Gully erosion thresholds, mechanics, and evolution Hydrodynamic, hydrologic, and subsurface flow effects on gully erosion Effects of agricultural practices and anthropogenic activities on gully erosion Soil properties, land form, landscape, and watershed effects on gully erosion and their interaction Effect of temporal and spatial scales on gully erosion On-site and off-site impacts of gully erosion Gully erosion and global change Modeling gully erosion processes Gully erosion prevention, control and restoration 3rd International Symposium on Gully Erosion April 28-May 1, 2004 Participant List Mr. Kwame Andy Agble Dr. Sean Bennett AG Andy Enterprise University of Buffalo Box AN 10123 Dept. of Geography Accra North, AC 23321 Buffalo, NY 1426-0055, USA Mr. Jack Alderson Mr. Jerry Bernard USDA USDA 14150 Hereford Dr. PO Box 2890 Chico, CA 95973 Washington, DC 30013, USA Dr. Carlos Alonso Mr. Ron Bingner USDA USDA P.O.
