Oct 15-16, 2025: CSHS/QC Workshop on process-based approaches to stream temperature modelling
When: October 15-16, 2025, 8:30 am – 4:30 pm
Where: Université du Québec en Outaouais, Gatineau, Québec, Canada
Description:
The workshop on process-based approaches to stream temperature modelling aims to bring together a diverse group of researchers and practitioners working with process-based approaches to stream temperature modelling, including model developers, model users or users of knowledge derived from models.
The primary objective of the workshop is to facilitate discussions on emerging challenges, recent advances, and future directions in the field. Unlike more traditional conferences focused on individual presentations, this workshop is centered around active participation, plenary discussions and problem solving around shared issues. The end goal of the workshop is to produce a co-authored paper that summarizes the key themes and insights that arise from exchanges, helping define a research agenda for the following years.
Over the two days of the workshop, participants will engage in structured sessions focused on three core themes:
Guest speakers: Prof. Christa Kelleher (Lafayette College), Prof. Barret Kurylyk (Dalhousie University),
Guest speakers: Prof. James Craig (Waterloo University), Prof. André St-Hilaire (Institut national de la recherche scientifique)
Guest speakers: Prof. Bethany Neilson (Utah State University)
These themes were identified by the scientific committee: Audrey Maheu (Université du Québec en Outaouais), André St-Hilaire (Institut national de la recherche scientifique), Jason Leach (Natural Resources Canada), James Craig (University of Waterloo), Dan Moore (University of British Columbia), and Andras Szeitz (McMaster University).

If you are interested in giving a 15-minute talk or presenting a poster on process-based stream temperature modelling, submit an abstract (max. 300 words) before August 29, 2025 using this form.
The number of oral presentations is very limited (n=5) to leave room for discussion during breakout sessions. Workshop organizers will contact selected oral presentations by September 16, 2025.
Posters: Posters can present results from recent work but we also encourage presentations of specific problems or challenges on process-based stream temperature modelling. Maximum poster size is 80 cm (width) x 100 cm (height).
