Intermittency in Headwater Streams – Challenges and Opportunities from an Interdisciplinary Perspective

The conference focused on exploring the complexities of streamflow intermittency and its ecological implications, particularly in headwater streams. The conference aims to address the uncertainties surrounding the effects of global changes on streamflow patterns, emphasizing the need for interdisciplinary research spanning hydrology, biogeochemistry, and ecology.

Structured over three days, the conference features an icebreaker event, presentations, and a workshop designed to foster collaboration and outline future research directions. Participants are encouraged to contribute through both poster and oral presentations, showcasing experimental and modeling studies.

Key themes of the conference include advancements in monitoring flow intermittency, the nexus between water flow dynamics and biogeochemical/ecological processes, the role of catchment characteristics in shaping flow intermittency, and the development of models for predicting and understanding flow intermittency patterns.

Due to anticipated high demand, early application is recommended, as the conference may reach full capacity before the registration deadline.
