EGU Session on "Fate and transport processes of pathogens and emerging contaminants at multiple scales" (HS2.3.2)

[Julia Derx]

Dear colleagues,

Apologies for any cross posting. We would like to invite you to submit your abstracts to the following EGU General Assembly 2023 session. Please note that the session will take place both virtually and in person in Vienna.

Title: Fate and transport processes of pathogens and emerging contaminants at multiple scales

Keynote speaker: Prof. Jack Schijven, Utrecht University / National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM), the Netherlands

This session aims to increase the understanding about the dominant processes controlling faecal indicator, pathogen and contaminant fate and transport at larger scales. Consequently, we welcome contributions that aim to close existing knowledge gaps and include both small and large-scale experimental, with the focus on

-        the fate and transport of faecal indicators, pathogens and emerging contaminants in rivers, groundwater and estuaries

-        Hydrological, physically based modelling approaches

-        Methods for identifying the dominant processes and for transferring faecal indicator, pathogen and contaminant transport parameters from the laboratory to the field or catchment scale

-        Investigations of the implications of contamination of water resources for water safety management planning and risk assessment frameworks

Relevant dates

The standard deadline for abstract submission is 10 January 2023, 13:00 CET.
Instructions for abstract submission can be found here.   

We hope to see you!
