Interesting conference about sediments of aquatic environment

We plan to participate in 7th conference of Sediments of streams and reservoirs (Sedimenty vodných tokov a nádrží), which will take place on 22-23th May in Bratislava. The coordinator of this event is Slovak Water Research Institute (Výzkumný ústav vodného hospodárstva), Slovak Water Management Institute ZSVTS (Slovenská vodohospodárska spoločnosť ZSVTS). One of scope covers sedimentology processes in streams and reservoirs and thus, our prepared contributions will deal with recent research in sediment fluxes and sediment transport modelling in Beskydian gravel-bed rivers and headwater streams.

Information about the conference together with the firts circular are published in Slovak language here: http://www.vuvh.sk/index.php/sk_SK/konferencie/sedimenty-vodnych-tokov-a-nadrzi-2013
