The International Society for River Science (ISRS) will be holding the 7th International Symposium on River Science at the University of California, Davis from October 6-10, 2025 hosted by the Center for Watershed Sciences.

The International Society for River Science is a global society that exists to foster and develop
scholarship in disciplines that contribute to knowledge and wise stewardship of rivers and streams.
The society has an international reputation as a group of scientists who are a reliable and
independent source of information and advice on river science and related environmental issues. The
primary outlet for ISRS is publication in their official journal, River Research and Applications.

This symposium will provide the first opportunity for ISRS to meet since 2019 and for river scientists
and practitioners to reconnect and share ideas and experiences. In bringing together researchers and
practitioners from across the world, the Symposium provides a unique platform for fostering
collaboration, sharing ideas, and learning that can advance the field of river science and management.
The 7th International Symposium will focus will on three themes that incorporate research from
across ecology, geomorphology, hydrology, biogeochemistry, social sciences, first nations science,
environmental engineering, river management and policy:

• Reconnecting: rivers as integrated biophysical systems
• Restoring: river management for biodiversity outcomes
• Revitalising: relationships between people and rivers

We are currently soliciting proposals for special sessions, and abstract submissions will open in
February, 2025. Special sessions should include a title, a brief description (200 word max), and the
name of the coordinator. Please email the conference organizers directly.
