We will be extending the deadline for abstracts for this conference to 26th January 2018. Abstracts already received cover a wide range of chalk groundwater and quality subjects from all over the UK, Europe and beyond….. We welcome further presentations in both oral and poster form.

The Hydrogeology of the Chalk 25 - 26 April 2018, The Geological Society, Burlington House, London

http://www.hydrogeologyofthechalk.org.uk/

A two day conference on the Hydrogeology of the Chalk covering current practice and future challenges on the characterisation and management of Chalk aquifers in the UK and elsewhere. The conference will focus on applied science and the management of groundwater resources and quality in the Chalk aquifer.

Abstracts, for either oral presentations and posters, are sought for sessions including geology, flow processes, developments in groundwater modelling, regulation and management, extreme events including flooding and drought, climate change, nitrate, saline intrusion and emerging contaminants.

Features:

•Day one focussed on chalk groundwater resources, day two focussed on chalk groundwater quality.

•Website with online booking system (coming soon….)

•Buffet lunch provided •Student and multi day discount

•Drinks reception after each day

•Follow up Publication of papers

Provisional Programme: Day 1. Chalk Groundwater Resources Geology Flow processes (recharge, unsaturated zone, saturated zone, SW/GW interaction, modelling) Regulation/groundwater management (including WFD, SPZs) Extreme events and climate change

Day 2. Chalk Groundwater Quality Groundwater quality at the catchment scale (diffusion pollution, aerial nitrate deposition), Groundwater quality at the local scale, Contaminated land, Ecohydrogeology
