Abstracts are due soon (July 10^th) for the upcoming Chapman conference on groundwater sustainability on Oct 21-24, 2019 in Valencia Spain. Hopefully this will be a rare opportunity where many of the leading people on groundwater sustainability will gather with a shared intention to share, discuss and debate scientific advances and encourage a pivot towards groundwater sustainability.

A range of prestigious invited speakers will provide diverse perspectives on groundwater sustainability. We have limited travel funding from the NSF – priority will be given to US-based students and early career researchers (pre-tenure faculty and postdoctoral fellows). Please pencil this in the conference date and submit an abstract here, and pass this along to anyone who might be interested…

I am part of the organizing committee as well as leading an effort to draft ‘The Valencia Statement and Action Agenda on Global Groundwater Sustainability’ (please get in touch if you are interested in contributing…)
