In order to address the research aims of FLAG two major research
themes were identified at the first meeting of the Group in Durham, UK (1996): Theme 1
addresses Long Terrestrial Records spanning the whole Quaternary; Theme 2 addresses
Fluvial environments and processes in relation to external and internal forcing.
After the second meeting of the group in Arcen, the Netherlands (1997) it was decided to
focus the research themes into more tightly defined research programmes. Four such
programmes have presently been defined these are:
Theme 1:
Focus 2 : Fluvial Activity and Crustal Instability
Theme 2: (These programmes are being developed to link
closely with FLAG involvement in PAGES)
Focus 3 : Fluvial Response to Rapid Environmental Change during
The last two interglacial-glacial cycles
Focus 4 : Holocene fluvial system response to
frequent and rapid periods of environmental change: identification and modelling of
forcing factors.
