5th International Conference on Soil, Bio-and Eco-Engineering
As in the preceding SBEE conference series, we will bring together researchers, practitioners, geotechnical and civil engineers, biologists, ecologists, geomorphologists and foresters to discuss current problems in soil-resource sustainability, soil erosion and slope-stability research, and how to address these problems using soil, bio- and eco-engineering techniques. The Verein Für Ingenieurbiologie with the European Federation of Soil and Water Bioengineering collaborates whit the School of Agricultural, Forest and Food Sciences HAFL of the Bern University of Applied Sciences.
Conference topics include
− Root-soil interactions and distribution
− Root reinforcement
− Soil erosion and conservation
− Riverbank and coastline protection measures
− Slope stability modelling
− Effects of vegetation on hillslope hydrology
− Bioengineering, ecology and biodiversity
− Eco-DRR measures, protection forests, and soil bioengineering
− Risk management and decision support systems
− Benefits and liabilities in slope and erosion control
Important deadlines
− Abstract submission (oral and poster): 30 November 2019
−Early-bird registration closes: 31 January 2020
