STAKEHOLDERS, NEXT GENERATION MODELS, AND RISK IN MANAGING CATCHMENT CHANGE<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

CCN 2012 International Conference<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lancaster University Management School, Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK<\/strong><\/h4>\n

25th June – 27th June 2012<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Over the last three years the Catchment Change Network (CCN) has organised a programme of workshops and meetings to discuss and develop guidelines for incorporating risk and uncertainty into the management of catchment change in the areas of flood risk, water scarcity and diffuse pollution. This final international conference presented the progress made in CCN and other projects during this time.\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>A particular focus was on the research needs in both modelling the impacts of change at scales of implementation and on stakeholder involvement in the management process.<\/p>\n

The conference brought together over 70 delegates from academic, commercial, regulatory and NGO sectors for three days of inspirational presentations and lively discussions.\u00a0Speakers presentations are now\u00a0available\u00a0to view (below).<\/p>\n

GLUE: 20 years on<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Celebratory Workshop<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Lancaster Environment Centre,\u00a0<\/strong>Lancaster University<\/strong><\/h4>\n

27th June – 28th June 2012<\/strong><\/h4>\n

2012 marks the 20th anniversary of the first GLUE (Generalised Likelihood Uncertainty Estimation)<\/strong> paper by Beven and Binley in 1992 and has, in addition, just passed 1000 citations on the Web of Science. The GLUE methodology has been controversial; viewed by some as simply wrong, by others as an earlier version of Approximate Bayesian Computation, and by others as a useful way of trying to reflect the impacts of epistemic errors on complex error structures in environmental modelling. This workshop will review the way in which the GLUE controversy has illuminated the debate about how to assess uncertainty in environmental models, the philosophy that underlies the GLUE methodology and examples of using GLUE in practice.<\/p>\n

Guidelines for good practice as a way of encouraging stakeholder involvement across catchment management<\/span><\/h3>\n

CCN 2011 Conference\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Tuesday 5th July 2011<\/h4>\n

Looking forward, catchment management will need to rely more heavily on multi-stakeholder collaboration and communication for success. Our second CCN Annual Conference\u00a0 on 5th July 2011 at the Arup Campus\u00a0was designed to examine how Guidelines could represent a useful tool to encourage stakeholder participation across catchments.<\/p>\n

Invited presentations will gave delegates a unique opportunity to learn how a range of organisations and initiatives are optimising success. Case studies\u00a0identified the challenges, opportunities and lessons learned.<\/p>\n

Presentations from the\u00a0event are available to view<\/h6>\n
