This project will provide a forum for presentations and discussions on fluvial hydraulics that will foster interdisciplinary research, collaboration and rapid dissemination of latest findings. It will provide an opportunity to discuss how novel methods and techniques can be used interchangeably in various fields of fluvial hydraulics. The conference will also address broader themes dealing with the societal impacts of rivers. As such, this conference will help increase public awareness of the importance of rivers for the society. By facilitating the attendance of graduate students and young career scientists, the program support is directed principally at its outreach and educational contributions. Several 1-day Master Classes and Short Courses will be organized and led by recognized international experts on well-focused topics in river mechanics, morphodynamics, transport processes and eco-hydrology/river restoration, as well as flood prediction and mitigation.This project will partially fund specific outreach and education aspects of the 8th International Conference of Fluvial Hydraulics to be held in Saint Louis, Missouri July 11-16 2016. This meeting historically has attracted scientists and engineers with an environmental hydraulics and environmental fluid mechanicsbackground, as well as scientists whose major focus areas include watershed hydrology, turbulenceand mixing processes, sediment transport, geomorphology, geology, geography, freshwater plantand fish biology, and river ecology and sustainability. This is the major international meeting in the area of river processes and fluvial hydraulics. This will be the first time the meeting is held in the U.S. The conference is co-organized by IIHR Hydroscience & Engineering, the University of Iowa, the Ven Te Chow Hydrosystems Laboratory of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and the Saint Louis University, in partnership with the National Great Rivers Research and Education Center at Alton, Illinois. The main objective of the conference is to provide a forum for exchanging ideas and discussions on the latest advances in experimental, theoretical, and computational tools in the field of fluvial hydraulics. A selected group of recognized international experts and one leader of an US governmental agency playing a major role in national projects aimed at flood protection will be invited to present plenary talks

该项目将为河流水力学的演示和讨论提供一个论坛，促进跨学科研究、合作和最新发现的快速传播。 它将提供一个机会，讨论如何新的方法和技术可以在河流水力学的各个领域互换使用。会议还将讨论涉及河流社会影响的更广泛主题。因此，这次会议将有助于提高公众对河流对社会重要性的认识。通过促进研究生和年轻职业科学家的出席，该计划的支持主要是针对其推广和教育贡献。 由国际知名专家组织和领导的几个为期一天的大师班和短期课程将集中在河流力学、形态动力学、运输过程和生态水文学/河流恢复以及洪水预测和缓解方面。该项目将部分资助将在圣刘易斯举行的第八届国际河流水力学会议的具体推广和教育方面。密苏里州2016年7月11日至16日。该会议历来吸引了具有环境水力学和环境流体力学背景的科学家和工程师，以及主要关注领域包括流域水文学、沉积和混合过程、沉积物输运、地貌学、地质学、地理学、淡水植物和鱼类生物学以及河流生态学和可持续性的科学家。这是河流过程和河流水力学领域的主要国际会议。这将是该会议首次在美国举行。该会议由IIHR水文科学工程、爱荷华州大学、伊利诺伊大学厄巴纳-香槟分校的Ven Te Chow水文系统实验室和圣刘易斯大学共同组织，并与伊利诺伊州奥尔顿的国家大河研究和教育中心合作。会议的主要目的是提供一个论坛，就河流水力学领域实验、理论和计算工具的最新进展交换意见和进行讨论。一组选定的公认的国际专家和一位在国家防洪项目中发挥重要作用的美国政府机构的领导人将被邀请出席全体会议
