Plenary lectures and invited speakers

Acid rain is such a broad topic with so much activity in so many different disciplines, that is important to step back and get an overview. The program of plenary lectures by distinguished speakers has been assembled to provide just such a qualified overview of the central themes to be addressed at the conference.

Invited plenary lectures for the Acid Rain 2005:

Charles T. Driscoll, Syracuse University, USA – Effects of the acidic deposition on aquatic ecosystems (confirmed)

Henning Rodhe, Stockholm University, Sweden – History and present of the acid rain research – an overview (confirmed)

Bridgett Emmett, Centre for Ecology and Hydrology, Bangor, UK – Acid deposition and the nitrogen cycle (confirmed)

Roland Psenner, University of Innsbruck, Austria – Global Change and Acid Rain (confirmed)

Jakub Hruska, Czech Geological Survey, Czech Republic – Effects of the acidic deposition on terrestrial ecosystems (confirmed)

Stephen A. Norton, University of Maine, USA – Pollution by non-acidic pollutants and their linkage with acidification effects (confirmed)

Keith Bull, United Nations, Switzerland – Interface between the science of acid rain and policy (confirmed)
