Battle Creek Stream Hydrology and Ecology Workshop June 9 - 13, 2008 Cypress Hills Park, Saskatchewan & Alberta
2008 Battle Creek Participants The Water Survey Division of Environment Canada hosts the Battle Creek Stream Hydrology and Ecology Workshop for those with an interest in stream hydrology, fluvial geomorphology, aquatic biology, riparian vegetation, water chemistry and the inter-relationships of these topics. Our presenters will provide instruction on the processes that form streams and the resulting implications for stream ecology. They will also demonstrate techniques to assess the relative state (health) of a stream reach. The workshop employs a unique blend of classroom and field study activities. The workshop uses the upper Battle Creek basin in SE Alberta and SW Saskatchewan as its natural laboratory. Battle Creek is the northern most tributary of the Mississippi River, with its headwaters on the Cypress Plain, the oldest and highest land formation in the Canadian Interior. It is unique in that it originates in a virtual alpine environment and over a relatively short distance flows into the grasslands of the Great Plains. Battle Creek is an inter-provincial and an international stream. This workshop is primarily attended by government and private sector scientists, technologists and managers from Canada and the United States who are either working directly in the disciplines presented or are looking to broaden their understanding of riverine systems. Workshop registration includes a copy of Battle Creek Workbook on the Hydro-Ecology of Streams which has been developed by the workshop presenters. Presenters Registration & Information
