DESCRIPTION:Dr Philipp Meier\, Surface Water Research and Management - EAW
 AG\nAbstract:\nSmall hydropower plants are considered as relatively enviro
 nment friendly. However\, in Alpine river basins\, where residual flow rea
 ches tend to be long\, significant impacts on riverine ecosystems can be e
 xpected. A framework that establishes trade-offs between electricity produ
 ction and multiple ecological objectives is  presented. It is shown that 
 including objectives that consider connectivity within the river network i
 nfluence the decision about the suitability of a specific location for hyd
 ropower development.Short biography:\nDr Philipp Meier is Dr. sc. ETH Envi
 ronmental Engineering (2012). He has since worked (2012-2013) as a post-do
 ctoral fellow at the Université Laval\, Québec City\, Canada on project 
 "Rolling-horizon optimisation framework for multi-reservoir systems based 
 on hydrological ensemble forecasts" while being research associate\, Unive
 rsity College London / University of Manchester on project "Software devel
 oper for an open source software platform for water management modelling".
 \nHis research interests are: Hydro-economic modelling\, Multi-objective o
 ptimisation\, Hydrological forecasting and data assimilation as well as Re
 mote sensing for hydrological applications
