The masterclass will provide a small group of participants (around 5, mostly early career researchers) with an extensive opportunity to discuss their research with one or more established researchers (“masters”) in the field. In the masterclass, participants would give a short (10-15min) presentation to introduce their research, followed by a generous discussion period with the masters and the wider group. The format gives participants a unique opportunity to receive feedback and input on their research from established researchers in their field, all in a friendly and informal small-group setting.
A few masterclasses will held in the afternoon before the conference (Monday 24th June 2024), with each masterclass focussed around a research topic and led by two researchers.
Registration Check-In Information for Masterclasses
An event registration/help desk will be staffed for the duration of the masterclasses and members of the organising committee will be on hand should you require any help or assistance.
Masterclass on vegetated flows and nature-based solutions
What do I need to do before the Masterclasses?
The class will give you an opportunity to discuss your research with world-renowned experts in an informal and friendly way. To help the “Masters” prepare for the class, please email me a 1-page CV and a 1-page summary of your research relating to the Masterclass topic, ideally including an indication of the questions you would like to have discussed. Please be sure to email these documents to iseh2024@abdn.ac.uk no later than 14th June. We will pass the documents to the Masterclass leaders for their perusal ahead of the event.
In addition, please prepare for the class a 15-minute presentation to introduce yourself, your research, and your key questions.

We invite applications for a master class on the role of ecohydraulic knowledge in implementing nature-based solutions with a focus on vegetated flows and dynamics in such systems. Does your project involve vegetated flows in a fluvial or marine environment, and would you like to discuss your project and the topic more generally? If so, then we invite you to join our masterclass.

Applications are invited for a master class on the broad topic of buoyancy-driven and stratified shear flows, including density currents, estuarine processes, jets and plumes, and turbulent mixing processes in stratified flows. Whether your project is analytical, numerical, laboratory- or field-based we encourage you to apply!
