Register for the 2026 Symposium

Most aquatic ecological studies are conducted over short timescales and yet lakes and wetlands have been subjected to decades and centuries of anthropogenic change. Palaeolimnology (sediment core analysis) can reconstruct past aquatic ecosystem dynamics and functions beyond the timescales of the longest monitoring programmes, providing unprecedented information on ecological baselines and rates of change. We will showcase contrasts and synergies on topics including diatoms and machine learning, restoration of stream meandering, lake restoration, and how to apply DNA techniques to assess current and past biodiversity.

Please note that there is no lunch included this year. Please bring your own lunch.
