Summary: This WASER- / ISI-co-sponsored conference aims to provide a global forum for a wide-ranging discussion of key issues related to research on large rivers and to their effective and sustainable management, involving both scientists and decision makers. The conference will be organised by MSU - Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia, and BOKU - University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna, Austria.

We kindly ask all interested authors to submit their work within the topics of

- Hydrology, Hydraulics & Hydroclimatic Impacts

Special focus will be given this time to Climate Change and its impact - not only in general, but also specifically related to Russian and Arctic Rivers.

Supported by: WASER World Association for Sedimentation and Erosion Research; UNESCO United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization; IAHR International Association of Hydro-Environment Engineering and Research; IAHS International Association of Hydrological Sciences; IAG International Association of Geomorphologists.
