From 2008-02-17 to 2008-02-22

Venue: Esperance, Australia

Summary:
Management objectives for aquatic systems are increasingly highlighting the importance of sediment-water interactions in controlling nutrient and pollutant cycling. The Symposium will explore our current understanding of process interactions across multiple space and time scales. Interactions at the microscale will be explored alongside interactions at catchment scale. The impact of extreme, short-lived events, such as a tsunami, will be compared to the impact of long-term drivers, such as climate change. The Symposium will also examine how sediment and water link terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems.
