Dear All,
I have pasted below a flyer and an application form for a meeting on
Integrating wetland hydrology and ecology in the UK. This meeting is
co-sponsored by the British Hydrological Society, the British Ecological
Society, the Environment Agency and the Centre for Ecology and
Hydrology. The BES are offering support through the student support
scheme. I will be placing the official form on the MRG website in the
near future.
Best wishes,
Deborah Pearce

Integrating wetland hydrology and ecology in the UK
Wednesday 31st March 2004, 1000 hrs at
The Institution of Civil Engineers, One Great George Street, London
(nearest tube: Westminster)
Wetlands are increasingly recognized as important elements of the UK
landscape; regulating the hydrological cycle and providing habitats for
many species. Successful management of wetlands depends on understanding
of the hydrological and ecological processes.
Wetland research is a rapidly developing field in many universities and
scientific organisations and meeting the requirements for wetlands of
the EU Habitats and Water Framework Directives has been a key driver for
government agencies.
This meeting comprises presentations of wetland studies by UK
researchers including University of Sheffield, Open University, Royal
Holloway College, Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, WS Atkins, ENTEC,
RSPB and the Environment Agency.
A draft programme and further details are available from Mike Acreman,
