The 13th International Symposium on River Sedimentation (ISRS 2016) will be held from September 19 to 22, 2016 in Stuttgart, Germany. Held triennially since 1980 under the auspices of the International Research and Training Center on Erosion and Sedimentation (IRTCES), the symposium series provides an important forum for scientists, engineers and policy-makers to share information, exchange ideas and collaborate in the field of erosion and sedimentation processes. The ISRS has served as the official symposium of WASER since the Association was founded in 2004,

To date, 300 abstracts have been received by the LOC Team of the ISRS 2016, and 3 keynote Speakers have confirmed their participation:

Prof. Bruce W. Melville, The University of Auckland (New Zealand)

Prof. David M. Paterson, University of St Andrews (UK): In his keynote address “Form, Function and Physics” he will assess the state of knowledge regarding how organisms and flow interact, discussing the ecological and evolutionary concepts of niche construction, and classical and cooperative ecosystem engineering against a background of the recent research on physical and biological coupling in aquatic ecosystems.

Dr. Weiming Wu, Clarkson University, Potsdam, N.Y. (USA): In his keynote "Advances and Challenges in Mixed Cohesive/Noncohesive Sediment Transport Research", Dr. Wu will present a state-of-the-art review of recent advances in laboratory experiments, field measurements and computational modelling of mixed cohesive/noncohesive sediment transport.
