Symposium Proceedings Honoring Michael Collins in Sediment Dynamics

A symposium honoring Professor Michael Collins was held at the University of Wales, Swansea in July 2007. The event was organized by his former postgraduate students to celebrate his 30-year career as a scientist, teacher, mentor, and friend. About 30 of the over 50 Ph.D. and M.Sc. students he supervised attended, discussing the diverse subjects and projects he oversaw.
