2nd Symposium on Urbanization and Stream Ecology
Salt Lake Plaza Hotel, Salt Lake City, Utah
May 23-24, 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.
