Time to do my AWRA Board-of-Directors thing...
This will be the fourth time AWRA has sponsored this particular conference, and they have been highly successful. This one, to be held on 29-31 March 2010 in Orlando, FL, promises to deliver the same high quality.
Here is the conference WWW site description:
Geographic Information Systems (GIS) have become a fundamental tool for the analysis, planning and management of environmental and water resources systems. This Specialty Conference continues the AWRA biennial tradition of surveying the state of knowledge in the field, following the 2004 conference in Nashville, 2006 conference in Houston and 2008 conference in San Mateo. Because of its interdisciplinary approach to water resource opportunities and problems, AWRA provides an excellent professional home for the most comprehensive forum on the application of GIS to water resources engineering and sciences.
The Conference Organizing Committee invites you to join this important community of scholars and practitioners in GIS and water resources in Orlando by sharing your experiences and knowledge with an oral presentation or present a poster in the gallery at the conference. There will be an opportunity to present freeware and public domain software tools on the conference website so that other attendees can download them to further learn and experience their functionality. A conference proceedings of short papers or abstracts will be produced on CD ROM.
Both the breadth and depth of GIS application areas in water resources and the number and variety of GIS software tools to support such efforts have expanded dramatically in recent years. Hence it is expected that this conference will include presentations and topics on a number of exciting new developments and research findings at the intersection of GIS and water resources engineering and sciences. Researchers, practitioners, and students working in this field are encouraged to attend, keeping in mind that GIS includes commercial or open source software, custom geospatial modeling solutions, virtual worlds, web-based mapping, and more!
Abstracts are due 9 October 2009. Get complete information here.
Hope to see you there.
