The purpose of this symposium is to bring together experts from hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, hydraulic engineering and environmental history to discuss the effects of changes in the river system on the regional flood regime, both in historical and modern times. River morphology changes due to sediment deposition and erosion, river straightening and hydraulic structures have traditionally been investigated and modelled locally but, depending on the spatial structure of the system, they may have a larger scale impact. The symposium will focus on detecting, quantifying and upscaling the effects of such changes in the river system on the flood regime at a regional scale. The symposium is organised in the frame of the ERC Advanced Grant on FloodChange (floodchange.hydro.tuwien.ac.at) and will consist of invited talks, oral lectures, poster sessions and discussion sessions.
Confirmed invited speakers are Professor Janet Hooke from University of Liverpool, Professor Tom Coulthard from University of Hull, Dr Michele Di Lazzaro from the University Roma Tre, Dr Daniele Ganora from Politecnico di Torino, Professor Bruno Merz and Dr Sergiy Vorogushyn from GFZ Potsdam, and Dr Ilaria Prosdocimi from CEH Wallingford.
