INTERNATIONAL COMMISSION ON CONTINENTAL EROSION (ICCE)
First announcement
Integrating monitoring and modelling for
understanding, predicting and managing sediment
dynamics
The international symposium on Integrating monitoring and modelling for
understanding, predicting and managing sediment dynamics continues the series of
symposia organized under the auspices of the International Commission on Continental
Erosion (ICCE), which is one of the ten commissions of the International Association of
Hydrological Sciences (IAHS). The first ICCE symposium was held in Florence, Italy more
than 30 years ago, and recent symposia have been held in Moscow, Russia in 2004,
Dundee, United Kingdom in 2006, Christchurch, New Zealand in 2008, Warsaw, Poland in
2010, Chengdu, China in 2012 and New Orleans, USA in December 2014.
The 2016 ICCE Symposium will be held at Rothamsted Research, near Exeter, UK. Dates –
July 11th – 15th 2016.
The 2016 ICCE Symposium aims to provide an international forum for the dissemination and
exchange of current science and technology associated with monitoring, measuring and
modelling erosion, sediment transport, deposition and sediment yield and the
interrelationships between them and the environment. Further, the symposium is intended to
stimulate and promote future interdisciplinary collaboration and research on many sedimentrelated physical, biogeochemical, and socioeconomic problems and their potential solutions,
in relation to the complex environmental issues facing the world today.
Themes
•
Integration of monitoring and modelling data at multiple scales (plot, field,
farm, catchment, national, global) for understanding, predicting and managing
sediment (and associated nutrient and contaminant) dynamics
•
Experimental platforms (plot, field, farm, landscape) for understanding,
predicting and managing sediment (and associated nutrient/contaminant)
dynamics
•
Monitoring platforms (field, farm, catchment, national, global) for
understanding, predicting and managing sediment (and associated
nutrient/contaminant) dynamics
•
Monitoring/modelling the source, transport and fate of sediment
associated nutrient and contaminant loss) at multiple scales
•
Monitoring/modelling sediment yields
contaminant yields) at multiple scales
•
Sediment impacts on aquatic ecology at multiple scales
•
Assessment of mitigation options/strategies at multiple scales to mitigate
nutrient and contaminant transfer
