The International Association for Sediment Water Science (IASWS) seeks to promote, encourage and recognize excellence in scientific research related to sediments and their interactions with water and biota in fluvial, lacustrine and marine systems and with particular reference to problems of environmental concern.
The association also brings together and fosters collaborative research and dialogue between earth scientists, biologists, chemists and environmental engineers whose interests pertain to sediment-water interactions in all aquatic systems.
KEY THEMES Papers are invited on the following themes, but other papers that deal with sediment-water interactions will also be welcomed and accommodated where possible.
- The impact of sediments on ecosystem functioning and human health.
- Multiple stressors (nutrients, pollutants, land use, global change) in aquatic ecosystems.
- Scale-dependent connectivity in aquatic systems.
- Technical and methodological advances in sediment-water science.
- Physical and biochemical processes in sediment systems.
- Integrating science into policy and governance for managing sediment and sediment-associated nutrient and contaminant transport.
