Conservation and Ecological Environment, CAS &Ministry of Education,
Institute of Soil and Water Conservation, Northwest A&F University, International
Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation, State Key Laboratory
of Tibetan Plateau Earth System, Environment and Resources, State Key
Laboratory of Soil Erosion and Dryland Farming on the Loess Plateau, and the
World Association of Soil and Water Conservation, the International Workshop on
Soil Erosion and Riverine Sediment in Mountainous Regions was held successfully
on line during November 17-18th, 2022.

The goal of this workshop is to invite
well-known experts in related fields to exchange the latest research results,
identify the current opportunities and challenges, and discuss the strategies
to deal with climate change through online and offline means.
In the opening ceremony, Prof. Fahu Chen, from
Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, CAS, Prof. Hao Feng, from Research
Center of Water and Soil Conservation and Ecological Environment, CAS &
MOE, and Prof. Qingbin Pan, from the International Research and Training Center
on Erosion and Sedimentation were invited to give opening speech.
Totally 24 experts from Italy, Germany,
Singapore, USA, Canada, China provide wonderful academic presentations,
attracting about 200 researchers to participate online. Finally, Prof. Fan Zhang
from Institute of Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Prof.
Shaoshan An from CAS &Ministry of Education, Institute of Soil and Water
Conservation co-chaired the discussion session of the conference, in which they
drafted the " Declaration of opportunities and challenges for the study of
soil erosion and river sediment in mountainous regions around the world"
and discussed new research directions and goals for the future, expecting to
make more contributions to basic science research and provide more
opportunities for sustainable. We expect to make more contributions to basic
scientific research and provide more scientific wisdom to improve the
ecological environment and enhance human welfare.
