The VI Seminar on Catchment Monitoring and Assessment of the Southern Cone and the V Forum of Geo-Bio-Hydrology provide a platform for scientific integration and international cooperation, bringing together researchers, students, professionals, and institutions dedicated to catchment monitoring, modeling, and environmental assessment.

The event promotes the exchange of knowledge, the presentation of scientific advances, and discussions on innovative methodologies for understanding hydrological and environmental processes. It also contributes to soil and water conservation, climate change adaptation, and the sustainable management of natural resources.

Mission

To foster scientific collaboration, innovation, and international cooperation in advancing the understanding of hydrological and environmental processes while promoting sustainable soil and water management.

Objectives

• Integrate research groups that use the catchment as the fundamental unit of study.
• Share monitoring and modeling strategies to improve understanding of hydrological dynamics and associated environmental processes.
• Strengthen cooperation among universities, research institutes, and society.
• Foster the integration of knowledge in hydrology, soil science, sedimentology, geomorphology, and ecology for sustainable soil and water management.
• Disseminate environmental monitoring techniques and hydro-sedimentological modeling approaches.
• Promote the exchange of experiences in soil and water conservation and climate change adaptation.
• Discuss land use and management, sediment tracing and fingerprinting, hydro-sedimentology, and scale effects in catchment processes.
• Encourage the development of research networks and innovative solutions for the conservation of natural resources.
