Multi-disciplinary conference to address our current understanding of the management of climate, water and soils in a rapidly changing economic and natural environment.

The conference will concentrate on how global changes affect issues at the national, regional and local scale.  It will present not only the best possible science and research knowledge but also provide a forum to raise and discuss ways in which management challenges can be identified, prioritised and delivered in the context of multiple drivers under climate change, Water Framework Directive, management of flood risks and agricultural policies. Water management will be a cross-cutting theme of the meeting.

This is a joint SAC (Scottish Agricultural College) and Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) Biennial Conference.
