Running late with this post. It's almost tomorrow, at least on the East coast, where I now
am - in Jacksonville, to be exact. I am here for AWRA's 48th Annual Water Resources Conference.
Take a look at the program:
Download Final_Program_AWRA_2012
Going to be a good one!
And speaking of good ones, here is a Call for Special Session Proposals for the 2013 AWRA Conference, which yours truly will be chairing in Portland, OR.
