The Tenth International Conference on Remediation and Management of Contaminated SedimentsWelcome back to New Orleans! Thank you for attending the 2019 Sediments Conference. We believe you will find both the technical program content and the networking opportunities well worth your time. The 2019 Conference is a forum for sharing research results, practical experiences, and opportunities associated with investigating, remediating, and restoring the environmental and economic vitality of waterways. Managing these aquatic systems requires complex actions that affect a diverse group of stakeholders and touch a wide range of environmental, economic, political, and social issues.

We’re looking forward to a great week, with more than 1,050 environmental professionals from 21 countries participating in the extensive technical program and other events.

We appreciate the participation of the Conference Sponsors, whose financial support has been an important part of the planning process. In addition, we recognize the efforts of the Technical Steering Committee, the session chairs, and the panel organizers, who have devoted their time and technical expertise to developing a high-quality program.

Eight short courses will be offered on Monday from 8:00 a.m.-5:00 p.m. and the Conference Registration Desk will open at 2:00 p.m. In a slight change to the traditional schedule of years’ past, the Plenary Session featuring Dr. John Todd will be presented beginning at 5:30 p.m. prior to the Welcome Reception that will begin at 7:00 p.m. The 80 exhibit booths and Group 1 poster display will also open at 7:00 p.m.

From Tuesday through Thursday, 43 breakout sessions and four panels will be conducted. Posters will be presented in two groups, on Tuesday and Wednesday evenings. More than 500 platform and poster presentations are scheduled. On Thursday afternoon, the Conference will close with a Roundtable discussion that will provide attendees an opportunity to reconvene and participate in a wrap-up discussion.

Enjoy your free time exploring the French Quarter, the French Market, and the wealth of world-famous restaurants, shops, and historical sites within walking distance of the Hotel that make up one of the oldest cities in the U.S.

Plenary Session

Dr. John Todd is a pioneer of the new field of ecological design and has been active in shaping the field for over forty years. He received a BA in Agriculture and MSc in Parasitology from McGill University and a Ph.D. in Fisheries & Oceanography from the University of Michigan. He has since received two honorary doctorates. He is an Emeritus Research Professor and Distinguished Lecturer at the University of Vermont and a Fellow at the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics. He is Founder and President of John Todd Ecological Design and President of Ocean Arks International, an NGO dedicated to publishing and to healing the inshore oceans. Dr. Todd was an assistant scientist at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution as well as the co-founder of the New Alchemy Institute in 1969.

Dr. Todd is widely published as the author of over two hundred scientific, technical, and popular articles and author or co-author of seven books, including Healing Earth: An Ecologist’s Journey of Innovation and Stewardship (scheduled for publication in 2019) and one in the works, Man Overboard: Natural and Unnatural Histories from the Edge of the Sea. He is the inventor of Eco-Machines™ and holds five patents. His work revolving around the broad field of planetary healing and regeneration has resulted in numerous awards for design, technological innovation, conservation, and environmental restoration and he was named “Hero of the Planet” by Time Magazine in 1999.

Dr. Todd’s talk will explore evolution’s legacy as a window into a new design science and address fundamental questions of our time, namely the restoration of landscapes and aquatic ecosystems throughout the world through his organizations, Ocean Arks International and John Todd Ecological Design. He will address decoding Nature’s operating instructions and the subsequent invention of living technologies as well as the concerns manifested with the fusion of ecology and economics. Ultimately, the goal is to help stabilize climate, restore biodiversity, and heal the Earth.

Dr. Todd’s work begins with the question of whether new technologies can be created to help restore polluted waters, treat toxic materials and contaminated sites. Can these technologies, known as Eco-Machines™, be adapted to grow foods, fuels and other valuable materials? The work that delineated the principles of ecological design will be described with examples of such systems in many parts of the world. Most of the early work focused on restoring fresh

waters, however, in recent years, focus has begun to shift to the ocean and to micro-technologies for crowded harbors through the development of small ships, called Ocean Restorers, that utilize marine organisms to treat contaminated sea water. Land-based projects to create soils in inhospitable environments are under development, including an effort to re-establish soils on mined lands in Appalachia using warm season perennial grasses and their symbionts in soil formation and carbon sequestration. New design techniques are being employed in South Africa to combine sewage treatment with soil formation and agroforest creation in slum villages.

Dr. Todd’s most recent project involves greening the Sinai desert with the mission of creating a biologically-based future for the region and beyond. The Sinai is a weather crucible that influences climate throughout the eastern Mediterranean and to the east as far as India and China. This work is led by a Dutch organization, The Weather Makers, in collaboration with the Dutch, Belgian and Egyptian governments. They propose that a greened Sinai will positively influence rainfall and temperatures in the region. To do so, oasis Eco-Machines™ using sea water to establish living systems in the desert were designed and phytoremediation techniques using salt tolerant halophyte plants are being developed.
