Join us on 4 Dec 2025, 16:30-18:00 EST (UTC-5) Join us for the next SUSE webinar on Thursday, 4 December from 4:30-6:00 pm (16:30-18:00) US eastern (UTC-5)! *Symposium on Urbanization and Stream Ecology (SUSE) presents:* *From Dry to Flowing: Key drivers and patterns behind intermittent/non-perennial streams* with: Exploring adaptive responses of stream biota to urbanization Dr. Piata Marques, *Researcher, University of Toronto Scarborough, Canada (presently); Assistant Professor, State University of New York, USA (2022-23)* Urban River Streams - Microplastics conduits, sinks, and the vector effect Dr. Nelson Odume, *Professor and Director, Institute for Water Research, Rhodes University, South Africa* Freshwater ecosystems are the most vulnerable due to anthropogenic activities. Because of this, it is important to understand the environmental patterns of these systems to protect biodiversity loss and maintain ecosystem services. Intermittent or non-perennial streams?those that periodically dry and re-initiate flow?are highly dynamic ecosystems driven by complex interactions among climatic, hydrological, geological, and biological factors. Variations in precipitation, groundwater input, wastewater treatment plant schedules, catchment topography, and evapotranspiration impact their alternating wet and dry phases, shaping distinct ecological structure and functions that affect the ecosystem services. During dry periods, organic matter and nutrients accumulate and biological organisms get restricted to water pockets, while flow resumption triggers pulses of connectivity, nutrient export, and biological reactivation. These flow transitions create strong spatial and temporal gradients that influence community composition, habitat structure, and ecosystem functioning. As such, intermittent streams serve as critical sentinels of environmental change, reflecting both the resilience and vulnerability of freshwater systems in response to climatic variability and land-use pressures. In this webinar, we aim to highlight newly identified patterns and drivers shaping non-perennial freshwater ecosystems, offering valuable insights to inform effective conservation and management strategies. Register for the webinar here! This webinar is hosted by the Symposium on Urban Stream Ecology . The goal of the webinar series is to reach a broader audience than those able to participate in the symposium (which only occurs every 3 years) and to support conversations on topics important to the field of urban stream ecology. We aim to have 3-4 webinars per year and welcome your suggestions for future topics.
