INTERNATIONAL SOCIETY FOR RIVER SCIENCEOne Earth, Many Rivers, One Global River Society

AIMS AND SCOPE OF THE ISRS

The ISRS exists to foster and develop scholarship in all disciplines

contributing to knowledge and wise stewardship of rivers and streams

as vital natural and managed ecosystems. Membership is open to all

persons and groups with interests in river science and a willingness

to become both an active participant in ISRS and a supporter of its

basic goals.

ISRS is a global society without political, national, or other social or

cultural affiliations. The society will strive to maintain an international

reputation as a highly reliable and independent source of information

and advice on river science and related environmental issues. To

retain that independence, ISRS will not participate as an advocate on

environmental issues.

Our society seeks to promote:

A basic understanding of the structure (biological, chemical, and

physical) and functioning of lotic ecosystems, particularly rivers,

through disciplines contributing to the emerging, integrative field

of river science; these include, but are not limited to, aquatic and

floodplain ecology, civil and environmental engineering, environmental

chemistry, environmental policy, fisheries, geographic information

systems analysis, geomorphology, hydrology, landscape ecology,

mathematical modeling, river conservation and rehabilitation, social

sciences and economics, technology applied to river management,

and water quality studies.

Wise stewardship of our natural resources and informed

environmental policy, especially as each relates to streams and rivers;

A strong role in the professional development of river scientists,

including students and early-career members who wish to be involved

in society activities as participants and leaders;

Education and training, by encouraging the free exchange of ideas and

factual material among teachers, students, and others;

Communication among members, using the internet, scientific

journals, and science conferences

WELCOME TO LA CROSSE!

The host committee is pleased to welcome you to the fourth Biennial

Symposium of the International Society for River Science at the

La Crosse Center. Located at the intersection of the La Crosse River,

Black River, and Mississippi River, La Crosse is a historic river town

in a scenic region rich in diverse natural resources, recreational

activities, attractions, pubs and restaurants.

RIVER CONNECTIVITY…As a fundamental defining character

of rivers, the movement of water and water-carried materials

connect local and distant habitats and landscapes. The ecology

and geomorphology of river systems are formed, maintained, and

continuously changed by these flow-induced connections. Likewise,

local and regional economies and cultures are influenced and

sustained by connections to rivers. Conflicts over river resources

and river-defined boundaries divide human cultures, while resource

harvest, recreation and transport unite cultures.

The 2015 ISRS conference focuses on the theme of connectivity to,

within, and among riverine landscapes; explores the geomorphic,

chemical, and biological implications of connectivity in rivers;

and also develops broader themes of human social and cultural

connectivity mediated by river systems throughout the world.

SPECIAL SESSIONSBalancing Multiple Uses of River Systems: Past, Present and Future

Navigation Infrastructure and River Ecosystem Considerations

This session will focus on historical river alterations, current

opportunities for improving alignment between navigation and

river ecosystems and future river management that balances

navigation and ecosystem needs for long term sustainability.

Keying in on this knowledge we can improve rivers management

for these multiple uses while adapting to climate change.

Fluvial Geomorphic Response to Landscape Disturbance: A Tribute

to the Life and Career of James C. Knox

This session is in memoriam of James C. Knox and his 43 year

career at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. We welcome

papers that celebrate the theme of Jim’s best known work: impacts

of landscape level disturbance on river systems. Paper topics may

include, but are not limited to, flood chronology, climate change,

agriculture, and sediment transport and deposition.

Ecohydraulics of Mollusks and Other Benthic Macroinvertebrates in

Rivers

It is widely recognized that the structure and function of biological

communities in rivers and lakes are largely controlled by the

interaction of biological, chemical and physical processes acting

across multiple spatial and temporal scales. Yet, we know

relatively little about how river hydrology and hydraulics influence

the distribution and abundance of mollusks and other benthic

macroinvertebrates.

Can You Hear Us Yet? Exploring the Diversity and Effectiveness of

River Outreach Connections

River groups have a lot to say about current conditions, threats,

and needs. But our rivers need less talk and more action. The

public can play a stronger role in getting our messages through to

river users and decision-makers. Speakers will share experiences,

and open dialogs will reveal our strengths and weaknesses in

telling the stories of the rivers we care about.

Divesting River Management Infrastructure: Ecological Implications

and Conservation Approaches

The goal of this session is to gather scientists and managers to

discuss opportunities and challenges related to divesting aging

or obsolete river management infrastructure, including dams,

navigation locks, levees, and training structures; share science

regarding the ecological benefits of managing for connected

rivers; and identify knowledge gaps related to the management

and restoration of large rivers via decommissioning.

Fish Passage Connectivity Tools: Status and Case Studies

Many resident and migratory organisms require connected

watersheds to complete their life cycles. However, barriers

such as dams and road crossings have proliferated on the

riverine landscape. This session examines techniques and

tools for assessing the crucial role of watershed connectivity

in maintaining ecosystem integrity. Case studies are presented

through the lenses of both barrier removal and barrier

construction.

Functional Flows: Designing Flow Regimes in Highly Managed

River Systems to Enhance Ecological and Geomorphic Processes

Environmental flow management in highly modified rivers

remains challenging; however, recent approaches that provide

functional flows or retain process-based components of the

hydrograph may better support ecosystem services. This

special session invites presentations that address ecological and

geomorphic functionality within environmental flows, provide

examples of implemented process-based flow regimes, and

discuss how functional flow regimes can be broadly applied.

Ecosystem Services in Rivers: Connecting Upstream to

Downstream and People to Their River

This session will examine the status and challenges of assessing

and valuing riverine ecosystem services. The application of the

ecosystem service approach to rivers is urgently required but

scientifically challenging. The session will represent the first

meeting of the ISRS working group on “riverine ecosystem

services” and an opportunity to build an international network of

scientists interested in riverine ecosystem services.

Connectivity and Water Level Manipulation for Large Scale

Restorations – Comprehensive Assessment of the Responses of

the Emiquon Preserve

The habitat succession and biotic response of microbes,

plankton, vegetation, fish, waterfowl and local community to a

2800 ha floodplain restoration will be detailed. Presentations

will relate the restoration response to ecological theories

(importance of ecological thresholds, appropriate lag times, and

alternate stable states) and controversies such as resiliency to

the impacts of invasive species and flooding.

˜ 9 ˜


Rivers and Watershedss – Making the Connections Between

Modeling, Ecology, and Water Quality

Hydrologic processes fundamentally influence the high

productivity characteristics of river floodplain ecosystems and

affect numerous physical, biological, and chemical conditions.

Engineers, scientists, biologists, and ecologists need to

develop a better understanding of these complex interactions

for effective resource management and river restoration. This

session will highlight new ways of making these connections

using innovative hydrodynamic modeling, water-quality, and

hydroinformatics tools.

Big Rivers, Big Data: What are We Learning from Large-Scale,

Long-Term Data Sets from Large River Ecosystems

Large rivers are spatially extensive

and highly variable in space and

time. Understanding the causes and

consequences of this variability and its

implications for large river ecosystems

requires data that is appropriately temporally

and spatially extensive. Such data sets

on large rivers remain regrettably rare,

but where they have been collected they

are providing important insights into

large river structure and function. The

increasing availability of these data sets,

and ongoing improvement in statistical

and technological capabilities, may have

created new opportunities for synthesis and

understanding of large river ecosystems.

This session will seek to build connections

between the rivers for which such data sets

are available, synthesize what has been

learned about large-rivers from large data

sets, look for emergent findings, and explore

ways in which data sets from contrasting

rivers and complementary temporal scales

may be used to further our understanding of

large-river ecology.

CHAD PREGRACKEEnvironmentalist and 2013 CNN Hero of the Year

Join us for the

Opening Ceremony & Reception

starting at 5:15 p.m. in the Ballroom

Growing up just a few yards from the Mississippi River and working

as a commercial shell diver during summers, Chad Pregracke

witnessed firsthand the spoiling of our rivers. After calls to officials

went unanswered, he waded into the river himself. What began

as a week-end clean-up project has ballooned into a nonprofit

organization with a $1.6-million annual operating budget and a

staggering list of achievements. Living Lands & Waters has a

passionate staff and a fleet of five barges, two towboats, and six

workboats. Since its inception, Pregracke’s crew and more than

70,000 volunteers have removed over eight million pounds of

garbage from 17 major rivers in the U.S. Counted among the haul:

63,000 tires, 18 porta-potties, 14,733 balls, 19 tractors, 4 pianos,

and 63 messages in a bottle.

Pregracke is as committed to education and habitat restoration

as he is to hauling away the junk. His team reached 39,000

students in 2011 alone and they are on a mission to plant one

million trees across the U.S. They also regularly contribute their

fleet and resources to aid in disaster recovery. In 2002, Pregracke

received America’s version of the Nobel Prize, the Jefferson Award

for Public Service, alongside Bill and Melinda Gates. In 2011, he

was recognized as a Service Hero at the Points of Light Tribute.

The author of From the BottomUp: One Man’s Crusade to Clean America’s Rivers, Pregracke has emerged as a strong, articulate,

and passionate voice for making a difference, one person at a time.

JACK STANFORDDirector, Flathead Lake Biological Station

Jack is the Jessie M. Bierman

Professor of Ecology and

Director at the Flathead Lake

Biological Station of The

University of Montana since

1980. The Biological Station

is a multidisciplinary research

and education center with 4

resident faculty and 30 staff

members, including graduate

students and postdoctoral

scholars, with an annual

budget currently exceeding $4M from competitive grants, mostly

from NSF, NASA and private foundations. He has graduated 13

PhD and 28 MS students and published over 200 scientific papers.

Professor Stanford is most noted for his long-term studies in

the 18,200 km2 Flathead River-Lake Ecosystem in Montana and

British Columbia that demonstrated the 4 dimensional nature of

rivers, ecological connectivity of aquatic systems, and food web

cascades caused by introduction of nonnative species. In 1999 Dr.

Stanford began extensive work on a suite of observatory salmon

rivers in Kamchatka, Argentina, Alaska, and British Columbia; the

research focuses on cross-site comparisons of the salmon and

steelhead life histories and effects of marine nutrient subsidies on

floodplain ecology. Professor Stanford teaches field ecology for

undergraduates at FLBS every summer, a very popular, outdoor

course. He has served on many national and international science

work closely with various

agencies, foundations and

non-government organizations

to develop integrated science

products using principles of science communication. IAN has

developed a reporting framework for the 21 states and territories

of the Pacific Ocean and conducted assessments of several island

nations (Samoa, Palau, Fiji) and has taught science communication

short courses in Poland, Portugal, Singapore, Thailand, Philippines,

Australia, and Tanzania. Among his many other roles, Dr. Dennison

PAUL ROHDEVice President of Waterways Council, Inc. (WCI)

The Waterways Council, Inc.

is a national public policy

organization advocating a well-

maintained system of inland

waterways infrastructure

and ports. WCI works on

three fronts: media outreach,

legislator advocacy and

education, and grassroots

activism – centered on the

critical importance of our

nation’s inland waterways

as a commercially navigable

system, and the need to

sustain and increase the reliability of river transportation as a

matter of national economic security. WCI’s priorities include

efficient funding for construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance

of inland locks and dams as well as channel maintenance and

dredging, among other issues. Rohde has contributed to numerous

publications on both transportation and restoration issues

and serves on the boards of several leading regional waterway

organizations, including the Coalition to Protect the Missouri River

(former vice-chairman), Upper Mississippi Waterways Association,

and the Herman Pott National Inland Waterways Library. He is a

member of the American Society of Civil Engineers’ Coasts, Oceans,

Ports and Rivers Institute Waterways Committee. He also sits on the

Missouri River Recovery Implementation Committee and is a former

board member and Congressional committee chair for the St. Louis

THURSDAY PLENARY SPEAKER8:30-9:40 a.m. | UL - Ballroom

BERNHARD PEUCKER-EHRENBRINK J. Seward Johnson Chair in Oceanography at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution

Dr. Puecker-Ehrenbrink

co-leads the Global Rivers

Observatory (www.

globalrivers.org), an

international, collaborative

research and education

program aimed at making

time-series observations

on the biogeochemistry of

important river systems

globally, including the

Mississippi River. In addition

to addressing fundamental

research questions concerning

the functioning of river ecosystems, the Global Rivers Observatory

partners with schools near rivers on the “My River My Home”

student art and science outreach program. The first multi-river art

exhibition opened last year at the Fraser River Discovery Center in

New Westminster, B.C. The “River Doctors” travel exhibit recently

opened at St. Olaf’s College. These programs play a fundamental

role in the investigation of river basins as they not only involve

young students in art and science, but educate and inspire the

next generation of river scientists. A native of Germany, he holds a

doctorate degree from the Johannes-Gutenberg University of Mainz

and the Max-Planck Institute of Chemistry in Mainz, Germany in

the fields of Geology and Geochemistry. His research, published

in over 90 scientific publications, ranges from the accretion of

extraterrestrial matter on Earth, the chemical evolution of seawater,

to the biogeochemistry of river systems.

THURSDAY PLENARY SPEAKER3:40-4:40 p.m. | UL - Ballroom

CHARLES VÖRÖSMARTYCo-Chair of the Global Water System Project

Charles Vörösmarty’s research

centers on human-environment

interactions. He has led several

teams that have executed

interdisciplinary studies

using earth system models

depicting the Northeastern

U.S., developed and analyzed

databases of reservoir

construction worldwide and

how they generate downstream

coastal zone risks, and

assessed global threats to

human water security and

aquatic biodiversity. In addition to his dedication to mentoring CUNY

students, Dr. Vörösmarty routinely provides scientific guidance to

a variety of U.S. and international water consortia. He is a founding

member and long-term co-Chair of the Global Water System Project.

More recently he was appointed Scientific Co-Chair of the Arctic

Futures Initiative of the Arctic Council and International Institute

of Applied Systems Analysis. He has served on a broad array of

national panels, including the U.S. Artic Research Commission

(appointed by Presidents Bush and Obama), the NASA Earth

Science Subcommittee, the National Research Council Committee

on Hydrologic Science as Chair, a member of the NRC Review

Committee on the U.S. Global Change Research Program, and the

National Science Foundation’s Arctic System Science Program

Committee.
