7th International Symposium on River Science
Greetings IEP Members,
It was requested that we share the announcement below with members. Feel free to share with others who may be interested.
7th International Symposium on River Science
The International Society for River Science will be holding the 7th International Symposium on River Science at the University of California, Davis, from October 6-10, 2025 hosted by the Center for Watershed Sciences. Registration will be open in June.
This is the first opportunity for the global ISRS community to meet since 2019, and for river scientists and practitioners to reconnect and share ideas and experiences. The symposium provides a unique platform for bringing together researchers and practitioners from across the world, and to foster collaboration, sharing ideas, and experiences that can advance the field of river science and management.
The Symposium will focus will on themes that incorporate research from across ecology, geomorphology, hydrology, biogeochemistry, social sciences, first nations science, environmental engineering, river management and policy.
Special Session Outlines:
- Session 1 – Advances in Floodplain Science and Implications for Riverscape Resilience
- Session 2 – Groundwater-Surface Water Interactions in Riverine Landscape Across Multiple Scales
- Session 3 – Restoring and revitalizing large alluvial rivers and their floodplains to support biodiversity and multiple goals
- Session 4 – Data to Decision: Who governs ecological monitoring of the river commons?
- Session 5 – Revitalizing Community and Landscape by connecting rivers, people, and science through field experiences
- Session 6 – Rivers as Classrooms: blending experiential education into river restoration science and project monitoring
