Scientific Advances for River Restoration Conference 2027 Liverpool UK

The Scientific Advances for River Restoration Conference (SARR)  is a leading international forum that brings together scientists, researchers, and practitioners committed to advancing knowledge of river and floodplain systems.
 
The conference, to be held on  1–2 September 2027 , will showcase recent scientific advances and applied research in hydrology, geomorphology, climate, environmental management and social science. A central focus is work that informs and supports improvements in the condition of freshwater ecosystems.
 
The conference offers a platform to explore cutting‑edge research, share innovative ideas, and build connections across disciplines and sectors. Delegates will have opportunities to engage with international experts and contribute to discussions shaping the future of river restoration science.

👉  Register your interest in the RRC's next international scientific conference (SARR 2027 ) to help shape the conference and stay informed as plans develop.

“A great international presence, showcasing approaches from many countries. The keynotes were fantastic, networking was excellent, and the conference struck a rare balance between being friendly and high-impact.”
— SARR 2023 delegate

We are delighted to confirm we have two keynote speakers for SARR 2027. Both speakers are internationally recognised leaders in their respective fields and bring a wealth of expertise spanning river processes, river restoration, freshwater ecology, and environmental management. 

Hervé Piégay , Research Director at the French National Centre of Scientific Research (CNRS), is a leading fluvial geographer whose research focuses on understanding the biophysical processes that shape riverscapes. His work explores the factors driving contemporary river change, particularly the interactions between vegetation dynamics, sediment transport, and channel evolution. By integrating archival data, field observations, and remote sensing technologies, he has developed innovative approaches to studying river systems across multiple spatial scales.

Professor Mary Kelly-Quinn  is Professor of Applied Freshwater Ecology in the School of Biology and Environmental Science at University College Dublin. Her research focuses on understanding how land use and other anthropogenic activities impact the physical, hydrochemical, and ecological quality of surface waters. Her work spans a wide range of aquatic environments, including peatlands, agricultural landscapes, upland catchments, urban and forested watersheds, canals, and constructed wetlands, with a particular emphasis on the impacts of multiple stressors and climate change on freshwater ecosystems.
