AGU Groundwater Technical Committee

The Groundwater Technical Committee is a volunteer group that supports the Hydrology Section of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). Our primary role is planning and coordination of technical sessions at the two major annual meetings (Joint Assembly and Fall Meeting). We welcome participation and input from all AGU members, including student members. If you have comments or would like to join the committee, please contact the committee chair, Tim Scheibe (tim.scheibe@pnl.gov).

2007 Fall Meeting

The 2007 AGU Fall Meeting will be held in San Francisco December 10-14, 2007. Several interesting sessions were proposed or sponsored by the Groundwater Technical Committee. Some were combined under the guidance of the program committee and 14 sessions were included in the abstract call. Abstract submittal is now closed. Two of our sessions were proposed as Poster Only (H37 and H39); all 12 others received sufficient response to warrant at least one oral session assignment. The final program is available on the meeting website.

The Technical Committee will meet during the Fall Meeting to discuss plans for 2008 meetings. The tentative meeting time is Wednesday December 12 at 6:45 AM (breakfast) but a firm schedule should be available very soon.
