For those attending the ESA annual meeting in Sacramento next week, we
invite you to participate in a special session on:
*/Riparian Research and Management Challenges in Large River Systems/*
/Tuesday, August 12, 2014: 8:00 PM-10:00 PM/
/Room 202, Sacramento Convention Center/
/http://eco.confex.com/eco/2014/webprogram/Session9893.html///
The central theme of the session is "Facilitating exchange of
information between researchers in multiple scientific disciplines,
partner institutions, and stakeholders to improve large-scale riparian
management, conservation and restoration." Our aim is to set a
forward-looking agenda for riparian restoration research by synthesizing
diverse perspectives from our speakers and audience members.
The session will start with short, synthesis presentations of lessons
learned from different river basins, focusing on large systems with
multiple management challenges. Speakers will include Greg Golet
(Sacramento River), Christer Nilsson (Swedish and boreal rivers), David
Merritt (Southwestern U.S.), Mark Dixon (Missouri River), and John
Stella (Rhône River). In the second half, we are looking forward to
participation from people who have experience in a broad range of
riparian systems, to stimulate a lively round table discussion about
common lessons and insights, as well as opportunities to collaborate
across ecosystems and biomes.
We hope you will join us and ask you to forward this to others who you
think may be interested.
Co-organizers:
John Stella, SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry
Karen Holl, University of California, Santa Cruz
Mark Dixon, University of South Dakota
Virginia Matzek, Santa Clara University
