DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Prof. Helmut Habersack\nhosted by Björn Hof\nAbstract
 : Rivers provide mankind with key benefits\, such as water supply\, food\,
  hydropower\, navigation\,irrigation\, ecosystem services and recreation. 
 They are fundamental to life and frequently possessmajor cultural signific
 ance. Rivers are currently threatened by unsustainable overuse\, increasin
 ghuman pressure on their catchments and problems of increased floods and d
 roughts driven by climatechange\, leading to changes in morphology\, incre
 ased pollution\, degradation of aquatic habitats\,extinction of fish speci
 es etc.. In this context Hydraulic Engineering has accompanied society sin
 cethousands of years\, but the new challenges lead to new demands and need
 s in terms of research. Thelecture is focusing on recent examples of ongoi
 ng research using field monitoring\, physical andnumerical modelling. In p
 articular the spatio-temporal variability of sediment transport will bedis
 cussed in relation to floodrisk management\, hydropower\, navigation and e
 cology. Thereby deficitsin existing knowledge show the need for fundamenta
 l research\, whereby especially scaling issues areof importance. In this c
 ontext\, the new CD-Laboratory Sediment Research and Management aims toana
 lyse bedload and suspended sediment transport processes and their interact
 ion with engineeringmeasures in order to meet management needs. Finally th
 e new research infrastructures\, namely thealready existing research chann
 el and the planned modern BOKU hydraulic engineering laboratory\,being a u
 nique research infrastructure with a free flowing discharge of up to 10 m3
  s-1\, allowing thestudy of basic processes and interrelations with river 
 engineering measures\, are presented.
