Dear Colleagues, It is time to get together to exchange ideas about the latest developments in river restoration. See you in San Francisco in a mere 5 months :)
EP023. Using Predictive Models to Inform River Management and Restoration River management and restoration are complex endeavors blending universal concepts with local realities, yielding substantially uncertain eco-geomorphic outcomes. Predictive river models for baseline assessment, restoration design, and post-project evaluation are increasingly important tools in project workflows. Convergence of faster computers, improved model algorithms, and better mechanistic equations that account for dynamism and interdisciplinary integration has benefitted from a synergy with the emergence of near-census geospatial data and informatics. We seek theories, frameworks, and cases that range across disciplines and scales to showcase scientific highlights of model-facilitated efforts, including morphodynamic and ecohydraulic models, and address future frontiers.
