The deadline for the submission of
abstracts is extended until the 6th of March 2023
From the 6th until the 8th of September
2023 the SedNet conference will take place in Lisbon, Portugal.
At the conference we invite abstracts for a
series of sessions aiming to explore different challenges and proposed
solutions related to this theme. Among other topics, we explicitly welcome case
studies from practice that preferably engaged stakeholders and that included
how policies and plans were developed for the range of interlinked issues
experienced along the continuous journey of sediment from upland to the
depositions sites. This includes how to quantify and manage sediment movement,
how to assess sediment quality, sediment health and ecosystem service
provision, how excess sediment can be re-used, etc.
Special attention will also be given to
challenges posed by anthropogenic influences, resource exploitation and climate
change, and how we can truly apply an integrated management approach that
enables the sediment continuum.
The proposed thematic sessions are:
1. Sediment quality guidance and sediment
quality assessment
2. Circular economy – sediment as a
resource
3. Sediment in coastal and marine
management
4. Climate change and sediment pledge
(joint session with PIANC navigating a changing climate)
5. Sediment management concepts and
sediment policy
6. Climate change and sediments: direct and
indirect consequences and opportunities
7. Sediments health: what is it and how to
achieve it?
8. Zero pollution in the
soil-sediment-water nexus
9. Sediment literacy
