Welcome message from the WASER President

Dear Friends,

 

As the President of the World Association for Sedimentation and Erosion Research (WASER), I extend a warm welcome to all participants, speakers, and supporters of the 16th International Symposium on River Sedimentation (ISRS2025).

 

The journey of ISRS, which commenced in 1980 in China, has been a remarkable one. This triennial event has consistently been a place where scientists, engineers, researchers, and decision makers from across the globe gather to explore the complex world of sediment study and management. Over the years, it has traveled to different corners of the world, bridging knowledge gaps and fostering international cooperation.

 

The inauguration of WASER at the 9th ISRS in 2004 was a defining moment. Since then, ISRS has been the official symposia of our association, serving as a powerful platform for us to realize our mission of promoting sediment and erosion research on a global scale. In 2025, we are excited to bring ISRS to Omaha, Nebraska, USA.

 

The theme of ISRS2025, “Centennial of Modern Sediment Transport Mechanics,” is both timely and significant. This theme will enable us to review the past accomplishments and explore new frontiers in sediment research, share the latest technological advancements, and learn from real world case studies. This is your chance to engage with leading experts, expand your network, and be part of a community that is dedicated to making a positive impact on our environment.

 

Whether you are a seasoned professional, a young researcher eager to showcase your work, or a decision maker looking for evidence - based solutions, ISRS2025 has something for you. I encourage you to actively participate in the sessions, ask questions, and share your thoughts. This is a collaborative event, and your contributions will be invaluable.

 

Once again, welcome to ISRS2025. Let us make this symposium a memorable one, as we continue to advance the field of sediment research and work towards a sustainable future.

 

Best regards,

 

Helmut Habersack

President

World Association for Sedimentation and Erosion Research (WASER)
