Dear Sir or Madam,

Dear colleagues,

We would like to invite you to the virtual international Symposium “Uncertainty in river water monitoring – New insights on spatio-temporal variability of suspended river water components” to be held on 30 November and 01 December 2022. The symposium is organized by the German Federal Institute of Hydrology (BfG) and the International Centre for Water Resources and Global Change (ICWRGC).

We are looking forward to contributions to the following topics:

-       New methods and developments in suspended solid quantitative and qualitative monitoring.

-       Insights on variability and gradients of suspended sediment distribution in the river cross-section.

-       Insights on chemical composition and element distribution in the river cross-section.

-       Temporal variability of suspended solids as well as element distribution and implications for a(n) required/optimal monitoring interval.

-       Relationships between suspended solid characteristics (e.g. grain size, mineral composition, organic matter) and bound chemical elements.

-       Insights on flocculation processes.

-       (Global) suspended solids load estimates, their uncertainties, and following implications.

-       Upscaling methods i.e. point measurements to cross-section / interpolation of low-frequent time series to yearly loads.

Best regards,

Kerstin Wickel
