Programme

26 May 2016: Oral and Poster presentations

The first day of the Symposium will be dedicated to oral and poster presentations from the delegates. Furthermore, two keynote speakers have been confirmed:

• Dr Andreas Hartmann is a lecturer at the University of Freiburg, Germany. He is an expert in karst hydrology, with a particular interest in water resources in a changing environment.
• Michael Norton is an expert in water engineering, water supply, water resources, wastewater and stormwater challenges. He has been involved in a wide range of projects, in many different parts of the world, and in partnership with universities, public and private sector.

27 May 2016: Visit to Sheepdrove Organic Farm

We will visit Sheepdrove Organic Farm in Lambourn, Berkshire. Sheepdrove Farm is an interesting site from an ecological, hydrological, geomorphological, and land-surface processes perspective. As part of a NERC-funded research project led by Dr. Rafael Rosolem (University of Bristol), hydrometeorological sensors have been installed in the farm to better understand soil moisture and surface energy flux heterogeneity. The field trip will include a visit to different measurement spots. In addition, we will also visit the farm information centre, where a farm ecologist will provide a general talk about farm management practices and local ecology.
