Role of biodiversity in processes at grounwater / surface water interface
A workshop dedicated to Janine Gibert
26 - 28 of January 2011 at Lyon - France
Interfaces play a major role in the functioning of ecosystems. They are particularly diversified in freshwater water ecosystems. one of these interfaces, between surface water and sediments, like the hyporheic zone, is essential in organic matter cycling, biodegradation of pollutants, storage of invertebrates during disturbances... These zones and the associated ecological processes were the major research topic of Janine Gibert, Professor at the Lyon 1 university. At the end of the InBioProcess Programme she initiated in 2006, we organise a three-day workshop on the ecology of hyporheic zone and other water-sediment interfaces , between the 26th and the 28th of January 2011 at Lyon (France).
