Climate, Water & Soil: Science, Policy and Practice
31 March-1 April 2010, Edinburgh
Joint SAC/SEPA Biennial Conference - Agriculture and the Environment VIII
in association with
Macaulay Institute, SCRI and Forest Research
This multi-disciplinary conference will address our current understanding of the management of climate, water and soils in a rapidly changing policy, economic and natural environment. The conference will concentrate on how global changes affect issues at national, landscape and local scales. It will present not only the best possible science and research knowledge but also provide a forum to raise and discuss ways in which policy needs to be adapted to meet future challenges and how management at landscape and local scales can be identified, prioritised and delivered in the context of multiple drivers. Land management will be a cross-cutting theme of the Conference. The conference will be opened by Campbell Gemmell (Chief Executive, SEPA) and the opening address provided by Richard Lochhead MSP.
Paper deadline has passed. Posters are invited under Themes 1-3:
Theme 1: Climate, Water and Soil: Addressing the Challenge
Theme 2: Managing the Challenge at a Landscape Scale
