A summary of SUSE4: making urban stream rehabilitation a co-evolutionary process

Aquatic ecologists have developed a wealth of empirical evidence about how urban landscapes alter the structure and function of stream ecosystems. This research, however, often fails to lead to actionable outcomes such as implementation into restoration and management programs. One reason is that stream ecologists often have limited interactions with academics and professionals from engineering, management, planning, and the social sciences in a way that directly contributes to project designs. The 4th Symposium on Urbanization and Stream Ecology seeks to address this critical barrier by fostering discussions among this diverse group of contributors. This talk summarizes the Symposium’s outcomes and a framework for promoting cross-disciplinary interactions that foster a co-evolutionary approach to improving urban stream restoration and management programs. We report on the results of highly interactive discussion groups focusing on topics such as maximizing nutrient removal, real-time monitoring, prioritizing restoration locations, defining project endpoints, addressing multiple stressors, incorporating socio-cultural factors, and other topics. The outcomes of the Symposium demonstrate the importance of integrating knowledge and perspectives across engineering, planning, natural science, and social science fields for designing and implementing effective approaches to urban stream management and rehabilitation.
