Workshop on Sediment fluxes in Irish Rivers A SILTFLUX project (EPA Research) WORKSHOP Tuesday 19th May 2015 UCD, Suite 003 Planning Building, Belfield, Dublin 4 Following on from the 1st SILTFLUX Workshop, the purpose of the 2nd workshop is to present SILTFLUX research result to date, in relation to the understanding and quantification of sediment fluxes in our monitored rivers. It is intended as a forum to present the initial SILTFLUX project research results and to invite contributions from interested parties in relation to performance of instrumentation, the calculation of sediment fluxes and the biological impact of sediment. It includes a Keynote address from Dr. Iwan Jones of Queen Mary College, University of London.
