Abstracts from the Symposium of Urbanisation and Stream Ecology, 8-10 December 2003, Melbourne
A symposium on urbanisation and stream ecology was held in December 2003, run by CRCFE jointly with CRC for Catchment Hydrology, Melbourne Water and WaterYear 2003.

The symposium aimed to bring together current knowledge of the effects of urban land-use on stream ecosystems, examine priorities and potential for stream restoration in urban catchments,
and identify knowledge gaps to direct future ecological research in urban catchments.

Plenary speakers presented some of the world's foremost research on stream ecology in urbanised catchments:

Peter Groffman, Institute of Ecosystem Studies, Milbrook USA (Baltimore Long Term Ecological Research).
Nancy Grimm, Arizona State University, USA (Central Arizona-Phoenix Long-Term Ecological Research) .
Derek Booth, Center for Water and Watershed Studies, University of Washington, Seattle USA.
Judy Meyer, River Basin Science and Policy Center, Institute of Ecology, University of Georgia, USA.
Chris Walsh, Cooperative Research Centre for Freshwater Ecology, Monash University, Australia.
Cathy Tate, U.S. Geological Survey, Denver, Colorado USA (National Water Quality Assessment Program) .

Their talks were followed by contributed papers and workshops over 3 days.
All talks and posters are included in the book of abstracts:
