Overview
The fourth annual Hydrological Sciences Student Research Symposium will be held on Thursday and Friday April 2nd and 3rd at the University of Colorado at Boulder (UCB) campus. The symposium will consist of posters and presentations by CU-Boulder students (graduate and undergraduate) as well as presentations by faculty and Boulder area researchers (ie USGS, NOAA, NCAR). In addition, there will be two keynote speakers that are influential members of the hydrosciences field.
This years' broad theme is on "Water in extreme environments". In this manner the symposium will celebrate CU's involvement in Arctic and Antarctic hydrosciences research as well as the search for water and life on Mars.
The annual symposium provides a great opportunity and friendly setting for students to learn what their fellow students and researchers are doing, both within and outside their sub-discipline.
Who's Invited?
The Symposium is open to all CU-Boulder students (grad & undergrad) and faculty working in any aspect of hydrologic sciences, especially those doing interdisciplinary research (e.g. hydrogeology, hydroecology, aquatic biology, biogeochemistry, environmental and water resource engineering, etc.). We also invite hydroscience researchers in the Boulder area to submit an abstract (ie, USGS, NOAA, NCAR). Submitting a poster or talk that you have already presented at another conference is fine, as long as it does not violate an agreement you made with the other conference. Making a presentation of a collaborative study for which you are not first author is fine too, as long as you made a substantial contribution and are familiar with all aspects of the study.
