9th international symposium on
environmental hydraulics

On behalf of the Local Organizing Committee of the 9th International Symposium on Environmental Hydraulics (ISEH), it is my great pleasure to invite all of the leading researchers, practitioners and students of environmental hydraulics from all around the world to the 9th ISEH from July 18-22, 2021 Seoul, South Korea. It will be hosted by the Seoul National University and sponsored by the Korea Water Resources Association. The 8th ISEH was successfully held in the Notre Dame University, Indiana, sharing a great insight into the recent researches and cutting edge technologies, which gains enormous interest with the exuberant involvement of environmental hydraulics communities.

The theme of the 9th ISEH is “Advances in Hydro-Environments for an Era of Big Change” with the following widely ranging topics in the area of environmental hydraulics:

A. Mixing and transport of sediment and pollutant

B. Jets and plumes

C. Stratified flows and gravity currents

D. Interface of eco- & environmental hydraulics and river morphology

E. Coastal and estuarine processes

F. Experiments, field measurements and remote sensing

G. Computational and numerical methods

H. Big data and machine learning in environmental hydraulics

With the above topics spanning classical and advanced experimental and numerical approaches to recent applications of remote sensing and artificial intelligence, I expect that expertise and young talented researchers actively share research ideas in the wonderful surroundings of the campus of the Seoul National University. The University is easily reached from the international airports and by public transportation, and it is well connected to popular attractions such as Gangnam area and the ancient palaces, which provide ideal settings to renew old friendships and to forge new academic connections. I look forward to welcoming you to Seoul in July 2021.

Sincerely,

Prof. Il Won Seo

Chairman of the Local Organizing Committee, the 9th ISEH
