The First international conference on
Climate Change &
Environmental Management
Mitigation Challenges for Sustainable Development
ICCCEM-01
December 05-07, 2023
BISKRA, ALGERIA
Scope
T he First international conference on climate risks, and Environmental Management: mitigation challenges for sustainable development, will be held at the Scientific and Technical Research Center on Arid Regions (CRSTRA), Biskra, Algeria, December 05-07, 2023. This international conference is open to the academic world and to socio-economic partners concerned by the variability of the environment cycle and adaptation to extreme events.
Under climate change effect, it is expected that global warming will lead to an increased frequency of droughts and floods, in many regions. Impacts are observed in all environments and socio-ecosystems: forests, soils, lakes, cities, and so on, which directly and indirectly affect human beings. Hence, it is becoming increasingly evident that climate uncertainty is hindering the task of developing adequate adaptation policies to climate extremes such as droughts, floods, heat waves, soil degradation and sudden and intense rainfall.
Objectives of the conference
The conference aims to focus on the different forms of climate change impacts on environment resources and related sectors such as agriculture, ecological resources, and natural hazards. The conference will provide a forum bridging the gap between expert, scientists, practitioners and decision-makers in order to mobilize innovations, knowledge and skills and up-to-date scientific research results carried out all over the world and allowing to launch new collaborative actions to better handle the risks related to climate change on our environment resources and environment for sustainable human development.
Topics
- Extreme events and Climate change, impacts and actions
- Hydrology, Hydrogeology and Water resources: current issues and challenges
- Data acquisition, Remote sensing, Environmental monitoring and Geospatial analysis
- Human and Climate change; relation and adaptation strategy.

Dr. BEN SAID Mosbah CRSTRA (Algeria)
Title of the Talk : “THE ADVANTAGES OF COMBINING NUMERICAL AND FIELD DATA TO ADDRESS INFORMATION GAPS WITHIN THE CONTEX OF FLOOD RISK MANAGEMENT”
Ben Said Mosbah is a Researcher on flood risk management in the arid regions of Algeria, since 2009, at Scientific and Technical Research Center on Arid Regions; CRSTRA. Biskra University. Algeria.
He finished an MSc in hydraulic structures at the University of Biskra in 2008 with a specialization in the spillway weir. In 2009 He was appointed as a researcher on flood risk management at CRSTRA. In 2018 He obtained his PhD degree at the Biskra University on the optimization of labyrinth weir. From 2006 to 2018 He conducted at the Laboratory of Hydraulic Planning and Environment of Biskra University, various theoretical and experimental studies on linear weirs, labyrinth weirs and PK Weirs.
More recently, His interests have focused on combining experimental data obtained on tested models with the results from the Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) analysis in order to generate further information and data necessary for optimization and design of labyrinth and Piano Key Keir (PKW).
