About the EditorsBertrand Morandi, Marylise Cottet and Hervé Piégay are geographers with an interdisciplinary expertise in the field of river research and restoration. They are all based at the Université de Lyon, France. They are experienced in using integrated approaches to deepen knowledge of river socio-ecosystems. They lead interdisciplinary programs which consider both ecological and social issues of river restoration and aim at providing knowledge and methods to aid public decision making. In this context, they regularly collaborate with water managers and stakeholders. They are also involved in Rhône Basin LTER network and Rhône Valley Human-Environments Observatory (Labex DRIIHM) and actively contribute to an interdisciplinary doctoral School in Watershed Sciences (EUR H2O'Lyon).
