3rd Biennial meeting of the International Environmental Modelling and Software Society
	July 9-13, 2006 The Wyndham Hotel, Burlington, Vermont, USA Convenor: Dr Alexey Voinov, University of Vermont The aim of the Summit is to enhance sustainability outcomes and decision processes by: Establishing the state-of-the-art in Environmental Modelling and Software theory and practice for integrated assessment and management Identifying research and practice for advancing the requisite knowledge base and tools, and their wider usage Initiating and consolidating research partnerships for systematic studies that acquire, capture and generate knowledge platforms
Join our on-line discussions NOW to contribute to the products of the conference.
The conference contains a number of thematic workshops that will be run in parallel to traditional paper presentation sessions Workshops for each theme are focused on specific questions identified by people who nominated themselves as participants before the conference using the iEMSs 2006 BLOG The final day of the conference will have a 'plenary' session where workshop organizers present on the progress and outcomes of the workshops Workshop organizers and participants are expected to co-author papers from the workshop discussions, which will be published as part of the Elsevier IDEA book series and which would be focused on achieving the conference aims

 

S2: Water Quality Modelling and Decision Support

Organised by: Michael Matthies, Nigel Quinn, Jeff Chanat and Lachlan Newham

This session is concerned with reporting on the current state of the art in water quality modelling for management purposes. Papers are encouraged that address topics in the following priority areas:

Water quality modelling techniques

• modelling catchment-scale biogeochemical sources and cycling
• modelling heavy metals, radionuclides, organic pollutants and other emerging pollutants e.g. pharmaceuticals, personal care products, endocrine disruptors

Improving process understanding

• new approaches to dealing with scaling problems in water quality modelling
• modelling the influence of extreme events
• modelling to determine Total Maximum Daily Loads
• use of water quality constituents as tracers for inferring hydrologic processes (e.g. residence times, flowpath identification, in-stream transient storages)

Investigating ecological effects

• modelling links between water quality and specific biotic indicators (e.g. invertebrates, fish assemblages)
• modelling contamination of inundated areas e.g. floodplains

Policy considerations

• use of water quality models in decision support
• setting management objectives and targets using models
• modelling for pollutant trading

Use of technology

• embedded sensor networks and other IT-driven innovations for feeding real-time data into water quality models
• development of model frameworks
