Call for Abstracts
SedNet would be pleased to receive abstracts for oral or poster presentation, addressing one or more of the following topics:
- Sediments and society
- Valuing sediments and their services
- Sediment quality and perception
- Understanding sediment fluxes and budgets on a river basin scale
- Restoring sediment continuity (WFD)
- Best practices in sediment management
- Dredged material management in rivers and lakes
- Building with dredged material
- Sediment management in mountainous regions
- Sediment in historical and recent mining areas
- Sediment issues in Poland

Abstracts on these topics will preferably point out the link between society and sediments and relate to its ecosystem functions. Also process-related studies of sediment transport and budget in rivers are welcome that help to understand the sediment-water-soil system. The meaning of effect-oriented research will be a topic as well as the identification of future challenges and perspectives.

Abstracts will be selected by the SedNet Steering Group either for platform presentation or for poster presentation.

Please see www.sednet.org for the template for submission of abstracts to the SedNet Secretariat: marjan.euser@deltares.nl
