Conference overview

Improving technology, scientific advances, and widely available tools for integrating a variety of datasets for geospatial analysis often appear to be outpaced by new stressors to groundwater resources, such as increased demands from shifting populations, the water/energy nexus, and extreme weather events. Cutting-edge analytical advances have enabled us to detect more and more minute traces of harmful constituents in our environment, which cause alarm within the general public. However, analytical advances also provide new insights for problem solving, fate and transport of contaminants, and solutions for remediation. Growing populations create greater stress on groundwater resources from both quantity and quality perspectives. The demand for water used for the development and production of energy, both traditional as well as alternative or green forms, are increasing. Extreme weather events challenge our ability to develop sustainable water management plans, or allocate suitable water resources at critical times. And the solutions to many groundwater problems will ultimately depend on how we value groundwater.

Conference program

The call for abstracts closed October 27, 2011. Once reviewed, chosen abstracts will be posted here in the online conference program. Abstracts under consideration include those on topics such as:

Aquifer delineation and hydrostratigraphy Three-dimensional mapping, imaging, and geospatial applications Water quality Emerging contaminants Groundwater issues related to energy production and development Brackish water Endocrine disrupters Economic value of groundwater Groundwater tracers Nanotechnology, including microfiltration and treatment methods Advances in remediation Water recycling and reuse.

Die sechste GeoTHERM findet am 1. + 2. März 2012 wieder in Offenburg statt. Innerhalb von fünf Jahren hat sich die Veranstaltung zu Europas größter und international stark wachsenden Fachmesse mit Kongress entwickelt. Die GeoTHERM stellt den zentralen Marktplatz der gesamten Geothermie-Branche dar. Hier finden die Bereiche der Oberflächennahen und Tiefen Geothermie den perfekten qualitativen Rahmen.

European Geosciences Union General Assembly 2012 Vienna | Austria | 22 – 27 April 2012

homepage

The EGU General Assembly 2012 will bring together geoscientists from all over the world into one meeting covering all disciplines of the Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences. Especially for young scientists, it is the aim of the EGU to provide a forum where they can present their work and discuss their ideas with experts in all fields of geosciences. The EGU is looking forward to cordially welcoming you in Vienna.

4th International Conference on Porous Media and its Applications in Science, Engineering and Industry An ECI Conference Series

homepage

An international body established since 2003, the Asia Oceania Geosciences Society (AOGS) aims to promote geosciences and advance its applications for the benefit of humanity in Asia and Oceania.

As these regions have been most prone to natural hazards, accounting for approximately 80% of human lives lost globally due to such catastrophes, we are committed to our calling to better address hazard related issues.

We actively contribute through publications of international journals and an annual convention that brings with it great opportunities for various geosciences fields to engage and exchange academic information, research findings and developments. homepage

As part of the geosciences community worldwide, we also recognize the importance of developing collaborations with our global counterparts and have established good cooperation with fellow bodies including the European Geosciences Union (EGU), American Geophysical Union (AGU), International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics (IUGG), Japan Geoscience Union (JpGU), and Science Council of Asia (SCA).

Confronting Global Change

The Canadian National Chapter of IAH would like to celebrate its 40th Anniversary by welcoming you to the 2012 IAH Congress in Niagara Falls! The 39th IAH Congress in September 2012 will be an exciting conference and gathering of people interested in hydrogeology from around the world. The 2012 Congress will allow the presentation of a wide variety of new and evolving hydrogeological issues and opportunities that include:

Energy and Climate Change Groundwater Resource Analysis and Management Groundwater / Surface Water Interaction (Ecohydrology) Groundwater Quality Karst Hydrogeology General Hydrogeology and Geotechnique
