WWEM 2016, the international Water, Wastewater and Environmental Monitoring conference and exhibition will take place in Telford (UK) 2-3 November, and registration is now open at www.wwem.uk.com.

This will be the seventh WWEM in a series that began in 2005, with each event larger and more popular than its predecessor. “WWEM 2016 will be no exception,” says organiser Marcus Pattison – there is even more going on at this year’s event, so we are expecting an enormous volume of attendees.

Gas detection has always been an important component of the WWEM events, but organiser Marcus Pattison says: “Following the publication of important new guidance on confined space entry and a new standard for toxic gas detectors, the Gas Detection Zone at WWEM 2016 will be busier than ever.

“Past events have shown that the Gas Detection Zone is hugely popular with health & safety managers and staff that have to work in confined spaces or areas where there is a possibility of exposure to toxic or explosive dusts and gases.”

A call for papers has been issued for a major triennial international urban trees research conference. Trees People and the Built Environment 3 (TPBE 3) will take place on 5-6 April 2017, at the University of Birmingham, and follows on from acclaimed events in 2011 and 2014.

This year the conference will focus on two significant areas of research; Roads to Place - Why trees are an integral part of highway transport design on Day 1 and The Health Crisis – the role of trees in improving human health (Mental, physical, social and cultural) on Day 2.
