18th biennial conference of the ERB network - New perspectives on hydrological and ecohydrological processes in small natural and human-impacted catchments
Portoferraio, Elba Island, Italy
23 - 25 September 2020

The conference aims to gather scientists working in small experimental catchments, foster communication and collaboration, share information on new monitoring technologies, analysis techniques, and recent scientific findings, and ultimately promote advancements in catchment hydrology. The conference includes the following themes, with a specific focus on small catchments:
  • New hydrological and ecohydrological monitoring techniques;
  • Advances in hydrological and ecohydrological modelling;
  • Environmental tracers in hydrological and ecohydrological studies;
  • Hydrological and ecohydrological processes understanding in arid and humid catchments;
  • Hydrological and hydrometeorological extremes;
  • Erosion and sediment transport;
  • Field work failures and unexpected behaviors;
  • Open session on general catchment hydrology.


There will be a contest for the best oral presentation and the best poster for early career scientists. The prizes include waived fees for manuscript submissions to the open-access journals Hydrology and Earth System Sciences and Journal of Agricultural Engineering as well as Italian/Elban delicacy. A guided field excursion interesting for hydrological, naturalistic, and environmental reasons will be available to all participants.


The conference will take place in the Elba Island, the biggest of the Tuscan Archipelago (Italy), home to the largest marine park in Europe, and worldwide known for its crystal clear water, granite rocks, and for harboring Napoleon during his exile.


The deadline for abstract submission is 31 March 2020.
