Call for Abstracts
The Washington Hydrogeology Symposium invites you to submit an abstract for the 14th Washington Hydrogeology Symposium. Submissions related to the topics below are encouraged, although all submissions related to the practice of hydrogeology in the Pacific Northwest will be considered. Planned sessions and formats (oral or poster) may be modified depending on actual submissions.
The primary author is asked to use the linked form to submit an abstract with your name and contact information; communications about the abstract will be directed to the primary author. The form asks for a title, a short, text-only abstract (500 words maximum), and the suggested topic area (see below) for the abstract. The names and organizations of co-authors are also collected on this form.
1/26/2024: The abstract submission portal is now closed. Please email wahgs@uw.edu with any questions.
