Meetings and Conferences
Posted: 20 Dec, 2007
Expiration Date: 23 May, 2008
This two-day symposium will bring together scientists from around the world to discuss recent research advances in the field of urban stream ecology. We will present and refine an urban stream conceptual model that is being developed based on current scientific understanding. Feedback from scientists and local practitioners (engineers, regulators, planners, and developers) during the meeting will help to identify and prioritize future research needs. The format of the meeting will include presentations on the current understanding of urban impacts on stream ecosystems as well as interactive discussions.
The symposium will be held in the Salt Lake Plaza Hotel on May 23-24, just prior to the Annual Meeting of the North American Benthological Society (NABS). A welcome mixer on Thursday evening (May 22nd) is also planned. Registration is free, but advance registration (through the NABS website: ) is necessary. If you are not attending NABS, please register by emailing Allison Roy . Discounted rooms ($90/night) are available at the Salt Lake Plaza Hotel via NABS lodging reservations (https://resweb.passkey.com/go/nabs). For those not attending NABS, reservations may be made directly through the hotel at the same rate using this meeting name (Symposium on Urbanization and Stream Ecology). Meeting details are forthcoming, and will be posted on the urban streams website .
