The Institute of Water Security and Science has issued a call for poster abstracts for its Spring Conference, which will be held Feb. 20-21 at the WVU Erickson Alumni Center in Morgantown.
The theme of the conference is “Advances in Water Resource Science and Management in West Virginia, and the Northeastern U.S.” The conference will facilitate networking opportunities with representatives from industry, federal and state agencies, institutions of higher education, the private sector, and others. The conference will include a concurrent multi-disciplinary poster session to convey information about current research initiatives, progress and discoveries. The program will feature a mixture of broad and focused perspectives and will include presentations by representatives from the Federal Laboratory Consortium, as well as researchers involved in West Virginia’s NSF EPSCoR project, the Appalachian Freshwater Initiative. Programmatic material will include a wide variety of water resource topics including aquatic ecology, climate change, emerging contaminants, agriculture, wastewater management, watershed modeling, economic efficiency in water allocation and the
energy industry. The first day of the conference will focus on watershed management and water quality, while the second day will focus on water availability and treatment.
Attendees, including graduate and undergraduate students, are invited to submit an abstract for the conference poster session no later than Jan. 19.
