On 9 March 2018 a symposium will be organized on \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Sediment management in deltas – Implications and challenges of disturbed sediment continua for society<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n River to the coastal sea sediment continua are disturbed, globally. Several river-sea-systems are short of sediment mostly due to damming. This causes dramatic impacts such as drowning deltas. Scientists and stakeholders should team-up urgently in research and innovation to find solutions. This symposium addresses the status in the Rhine\/Meuse \u2013 North Sea system. Furthermore, the DANUBIUS-RI research infrastructure (RI) is presented as disturbed sediment continua may become a key research topic in this RI. The symposium also aims to gain support and ingredients for drafting of a sediment continuum call text to promote as topic under EC FP9, i.e. the follow-up of HORIZON2020.<\/em><\/p>\n The symposium will be held in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands, and is organized by the Netherlands Centre for River Studies (NCR), Netherlands centre for Coastal Research\u00a0(NCK), DANUBIUS-RI, Deltares, and Utrecht University Future Deltas.<\/p>\n
