<p><span style="font-family: Arial">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. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">The conference will focus on applied science and the management of groundwater resources and quality in the Chalk aquifer. Abstracts, both oral and poster based, are sought for sessions including geology, flow processes, developments in groundwater modelling, regulation and management, extreme events including flooding, climate change and drought, nitrate, saline intrusion, emerging contaminants and more.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">Papers should have a clear beneficial conclusion (i.e. not purely work in progress) and all papers should be relevant to the specific peculiarities of chalk hydrogeology. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">Features: </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: Arial">•Day one focussed on chalk groundwater resources, day two focussed on chalk groundwater quality. </span></p>
