The core group of the 1000IRP is composed of :

Thibault DATRY
Freshwater ecologist INRAE, Lyon, France
Main research interests:
Community ecology
Ecosystem ecology
Hyporheic zones
Intermittent rivers

Thibault Datry is a freshwater ecologist working at INRAE, Lyon, France. He received a PhD from the University of Lyon (2003) and his Habilitation (2013). He has special expertise on freshwater biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and river management, with a strong interest for intermittent rivers and surface water-groundwater interactions. In the past 10 years, he has published over 50 peer-reviewed papers on stream and groundwater ecology, and has been on the Editorial Board of ‘Freshwater Science’ since 2007. He has organized two Special Issues and co-organized several Special Sessions on intermittent rivers at international conferences, led IRBAS (Intermittent River Biodiversity Analysis and Synthesis), an international research program exploring biodiversity patterns in intermittent rivers at the global scale and is the Chair of the SMIRES (Science and Management of Intermittent Rivers & Ephemeral Streams) COST Action. He just edited a book for Elsevier with Núria Bonada and Andrew Boulton on intermittent river and ephemeral stream ecology and management.

Klement TOCKNER
Freshwater ecologist IGB, Berlin, Germany
Main research interests:
Floodplain ecology
Biodiversity
Ecosystem ecology
Novel ecosystems

Klement Tockner is director of the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB, Berlin) and professor for Aquatic Ecology at the Freie Universität Berlin. He received a PhD from the University of Vienna and a titulary professorship at ETH, Zurich. He has special expertise on freshwater biodiversity, ecosystem functioning, and river and wetland management. He is Co-Editor of the journal Aquatic Sciences and Subject Editor of the journal Ecosystems. He has published more than 200 scientific papers including 120 ISI papers. In 2009, he edited a comprehensive book on European Rivers (Rivers of Europe, Elsevier-Academic Press). Klement Tockner has successfully managed large inter- and transdisciplinary projects (e.g. EC-funded project BioFresh), he is member of several scientific committees and advisory boards including the crosscutting group on freshwater biodiversity of DIVERSITAS, GEO-BON, and elected member of the Austrian Academy of Sciences and the German Academy of Sciences (Leopoldina).

Arnaud FOULQUIER
Associate Professor at the Laboratory of Alpine Ecology (LECA), Grenoble Alpes University, Grenoble, France
Main research interests:
Functional Ecology
Freshwater Ecosystems
Microbial Ecology

Arnaud Foulquier is an associate professor at the Laboratory of Alpine Ecology (LECA), Grenoble Alpes University. He received a PhD from the University of Lyon (2009). He has a special expertise on freshwater ecosystems, functional ecology, biogeochemistry and microbial ecology. His research focuses on the links between biodiversity and ecosystem functioning and on the impacts of changes in climate and land-use on the biogeochemical functioning of aquatic ecosystems.

Roland CORTI
Postdoc scientist, IGB, Berlin, Germany
Main research interests:
Community ecology
Intermittent rivers
Dynamic of particulate organic matter

Roland Corti is a postdoc freshwater ecologist currently working at IGB, Berlin, Germany. He received his PhD from the University of Lyon in 2013. His research focusses mainly on community ecology in general and on the ecology of temporary rivers in particular. He studies the effects of drying events on aquatic and terrestrial invertebrate communities in riverbeds and adjacent riparian zones, as well as the decomposition and transport of particulate organic matter. A related aspect of his works includes the distribution of terrestrial invertebrates in highly dynamic river landscape, such as braided rivers.
