International Symposium on Soil and Water Bioengineering in a Chanching Climate th – 8 th , September 2017 7 1. INTRODUCTION-SYMPOSIUM PRESENTATION Glasgow Caledonian University (GCU) in collaboration with the European Federation of Soil and Water Bioengineering (EFIB) and support from the ECOMED Erasmus+ project, organise the International Symposium on Soil- and Water- Bioengineering in a Changing Climate, held on the 7th and 8 th of September 2017. The aim of the symposium is to present and discuss the possibilities offered by the the technical discipline of Soil- and Water- Bioengineering to the ecological, economic, and societal challenges faced within a changing climate. As a society are experiencing a period of uncertainty, in which we perceive that the solutions could come from finding a balance within our environment based on the sustainable management of our ecosystems, the restoration of their functionality and services, and the use of nature-based construction systems such as soil- and water- bioengineering techniques. It is envisaged that UK practitioners and researchers will foster a deeper and more meaningful relationship with their international counterparts at the symposium by sharing experiences around common areas of interest. According to the E.F.I.B., soil- and water- bioengineering is a discipline that combines technology and biology, making use of plants and plant communities as building materials which can protect the soil and infrastructure as well as contributing to landscape development. It includes technical (protection and stabilisation), ecological (ecosystem restoration), landscape (improvement of landscape integration), and a consideration of socio- economic (efficiency and employability) aspects. River Artia- Irun Spain- Gobierno Vasco Images P. Sangalli It is recognised as an emerging Engineering discipline, because of the application of scientific and practical knowledge in order to design and build structures, processes and solutions to control Soil and Water erosion and stability, but is also a Biological discipline because of the critical role of native plants and its bio-technical properties in these solutions. GCU and t h e m e m b e r s h i p o f EFIB are currently c o l l a b o r a t i n g within the Erasmus+ 3

At the end of this symposium, the attendees will be involved in the formal process of founding the UK Association for Soil- and Water- bioengineering . All registered delegates at the Symposium will receive a Certificate of Attendance (CPD: 8 hours). The authors of the accepted papers and the presenters at the Symposium will receive Certificates of Authorship and/or Presentation. All certificates will be accredited by the EFIB.

International Symposium on Soil and Water Bioengineering in a Chanching Climate th – 8 th , September 2017 7 2. SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM 2.1. THEMATIC AREAS We invite practitioners and researchers to submit papers for presentation at the symposium covering research and practice related to the restoration of degraded areas, using primarily water- and soil-bioengineering techniques in the following thematic areas: • River restoration and revitalisation • Storm water management and rain gardens • Regeneration of wetlands, reservoirs, and coastal areas • Hydro forest restoration activities in mountain areas, slope stabilization • Planning and restoration of urban and peri-urban areas • Restoration of fire or drought affected areas • Design, construction and restoration of linear infrastructure: highways, railways, and gas pipelines • Restoration and remediation of land under extractive activities: mining, quarrying and landfilling • Soil and Water Bioengineering techniques, materials, modelling, and design. 2.2.
