Tuesday, July 7 - Thursday, July 9. 2009 UCOWR/NIWR Conference - Urban Water Management: Issues and Opportunities. This is the annual gathering of UCOWR, the Universities Council on Water Resources and NIWR, the National Institutes for Water Resources. Location: Chicago, Illinois. FMI: http://www.ucowr.siu.edu/. Sunday, July 12 - Friday, July 17. Gordon Conference on Thresholds, Tipping Points, And Non-Linearity: Integrated Catchment Science For The 21st Century. It is known that many physical and biological systems are inherently non-linear, but non-linear behavior in catchments has not been adequately addressed. Catchment scientists have only recently begun to consider the evidence for catchment nonlinearity by examining physical, ecological, and biogeochemical processes that could produce, for example, specific “thresholds” or “tipping points” in response to individual disturbances or perturbations. A more complete understanding of these processes is needed to better assess the likely responses of catchments to climate change, various types of disturbances, and different land management practices. Location: Proctor Academy, Andover, NH . FMI: http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2009&program=catch. Sunday, July 12 - Friday, July 17. Catchment Science: Interactions Of Hydrology, Biology & Geochemistry. The theme is Thresholds, Tipping Points, And Non-Linearity: Integrated Catchment Science For The 21st Century. his Gordon Research Conference focuses on catchment science, exploring the interactions among hydrological, biological and geochemical processes that shape terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. An understanding of these processes is required in order to consider responses of catchments and ecosystems to climate warming, atmospheric deposition, land use shifts, catastrophic events, and other drivers of environmental change. Applications for this meeting must be submitted by June 21, 2009. Please apply early, as some meetings become oversubscribed (full) before this deadline. Location: Andover, NH. FMI: http://www.grc.org/programs.aspx?year=2009&program=catch. Monday, July 20 - Friday, July 24. Third National Conference on Ecosystem Restoration. Sponsored by USGS, USACE and others. The purpose of NCER 09 is to provide an interactive forum for physical, biological and social scientists, engineers, resource managers, planners and policy makers to share their experiences and research results concerning large-scale ecosystem restoration on both national and international levels. Location: Los Angeles, California. FMI: http://conference.ifas.ufl.edu/NCER2009. Sunday, August 2 - Wednesday, August 5. In-situ Optical Sensors for Water Quality (CUAHSI Workshop). This 3-day training workshop will focus on how to successfully deploy, maintain and process data from in situ optical sensors in freshwater systems. The workshop will focus on the use of in situ fluorometers and spectrophotometers for studies of organic matter, nitrate and particulates in rivers, streams and lakes. The workshop will be led by the USGS Bay-Delta Carbon Group (California Water Science Center), which is one of the few groups conducting research with in situ optical sensors in freshwater systems. Location: University Of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont. FMI: http://www.cuahsi.org/hmf/sensor/index.html. Sunday, September 13 - Wednesday, September 16. 24th Annual WateReuse Annual Symposium. Meeting of the WateReuse Association, the Water Environment Federation, and the American Water Works Association. Abstracts due: January 22, 2009. Location: Seattle, WA. FMI: http://www.watereuse.org/conferences/symposium/24. Monday, September 14 - Wednesday, September 16. 2nd International Conference on Forests and Water in a Changing Environment. Research papers and posters are invited for a multidisciplinary discussion of forest-water relations and changing environmental conditions. This conference will provide a forum for experts from around the world on eco-hydrology, restoration ecology, forest ecology, watershed management and global change sciences to share knowledge and research experiences and develop long-term international collaborations on watershed research. Abstracts due March 31, 2009. Location: Raleigh, NC. FMI: http://www.sgcp.ncsu.edu:8080/. Monday, October 26 - Tuesday, October 27. International Water Technologies for Emerging Regions Conference.
