A considerable number of interdisciplinary researches have been developed at the interface between hydrology and ecology during the last decade. The increasing number of peer-reviewed papers on the topic demonstrates the vitality of this theme. This interest in coupling hydrological and ecological studies has been triggered by purely scientific questions related to the quantification of the role of interactions between hydrological and biological processes on surface and groundwater resources and quality, but also by the importance of these physical and biological interactions at small, local and regional scales. These scales are of paramount importance for applied environmental issues related to air and water quality or biodiversity dynamics for instance. The aim of this fourth conference after the three last ones in Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Czech Republic in 2006, and in Vienna in Austria in 2009 and 2011, is fourfold: i) to present new findings and approaches on interactions between hydrology and ecology, ii) to promote interdisciplinary interactions on water related issues between hydrology, hydrogeology, biogeochemistry, microbial ecology and ecology, iii) to explore emerging patterns, breakthroughs and Challenges, and iv) to provide management applications and guidelines to tackle environmental issues. To address the relevant issues, the conference aims to bring together experts from different disciplines such as hydrologists (groundwater, surface water), ecologists, biologists, subsurface microbiologists, environmental biogeochemists, eco-technologists, geomorphologists, hydraulic engineers, forest managers, nature reserve managers, regional and landscape planners, as well as experts from governmental institutions. ...

Biohydrology 2013 addresses many contemporary issues surrounding water scarcity, climate change and increase pressure on land. The conference focusses on the interaction between biological and hydrological systems, including positive impacts such as water harnessing and flood mitigation, and negative aspects including threats to food production, water repellency and environmental degradation through unsustainable land use practices. Experts from hydrology, ecology, soil science, geography, biology, forestry and engineering will meet together in a forum designed to get different disciplines working together. ...

FINS is the Freshwater Invasives – Networking for Strategy conference being hosted by Inland Fisheries Ireland (IFI) and the European Inland Fisheries and Aquaculture Advisory Commission (EIFAAC). FINS will address key topics relating to freshwater invasive species and harmful aquatic pathogens. The primary objective of the conference is to provide a forum where international scientists, policy makers and stakeholders will address designated themes with a view to informing management and policy development in this increasingly important area. The themes that will provide the focus for deliberations during the conference will be: Policy & Strategy, Biosecurity, Management and Economics. Invited experts from around the globe will address the above themes, with ample time given to panel discussion. Workshop sessions led by the keynote speakers and other experts, as required, will provide the main focus of the conference and will be arranged to facilitate involvement of all delegates in relatively small groups. Synthesis sessions will aim to draw firm conclusions from the discussions and put forward concrete recommendations that will inform both national and international policy makers. ...

Im Namen des Organisationsteams heißen wir Sie herzlich willkommen zur diesjährigen 29. Jahrestagung der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Limnologie (DGL), die am Campus Griebnitzsee zwischen Potsdam und Berlin vom 9.-13.9.2013 parallel mit der 43. Jahrestagung der Gesellschaft für Ökologie (GfÖ) stattfinden wird. Die DGL-Tagung wird gemeinsam von der Universität Potsdam und dem Institut für Gewässerökologie und Binnenfischerei (IGB) veranstaltet. Wie gewohnt wird es Fachvorträge in Parallelsessions und Poster zu allen aktuellen Themen der angewandten und forschenden Limnologie und Gewässerökologie geben. Darüber hinaus werden interessante Plenarvorträge und Vorträge von jungen WissenschaftlerInnen im Rahmen des Nachwuchspreises das Programm bereichern. Als diesjährige Besonderheit bieten wir außerdem gemeinsame Sessions mit der Gesellschaft für Ökologie (GfÖ) unter dem Tagungsmotto „Building bridges in ecology - linking systems, scales and disciplines“ an, womit wir den Austausch zwischen aquatischen und terrestrischen Ökologen intensivieren wollen. ...

The aim of this fifth HydroEco conference – after the four previous meetings, in Karlovy Vary (Carlsbad), Czech Republic in 2006, in Vienna in Austria in 2009 and 2011, and in Rennes in France in 2013 – is fourfold: i) to present new findings and approaches on interactions between hydrology and ecology, ii) to promote interdisciplinary interactions on water related issues between hydrology, hydrogeology, biogeochemistry, microbial ecology and ecology, iii) to explore advances in monitoring, modelling and predicting dynamics of hydroecological processes, and iv) to discuss management approaches and applications to tackle environmental issues, including engineering measures for ecosystem preservation and restoration of ecologically valuable environments.To address the relevant issues, the conference aims to bring together experts from different disciplines such as hydrologists (groundwater, surface water), ecologists, biologists, subsurface microbiologists, environmental biogeochemists, eco-technologists, geomorphologists, hydraulic engineers, forest managers, nature reserve managers, regional and landscape planners, as well as experts from governmental institutions. The unifying theme is the interaction between groundwater and (or) /surface water and ecological systems. A typical example is the hyporheic zone in riparian areas, where the ecological system interacts with water and chemical flows between surface water, groundwater and unsaturated soil zone. ...
