From the President
Welcome to the IAH Newsletter!
The IAH provides many opportunities to share knowledge.
This year’s Darcy Lecturer, Dr Ty Ferré will be presenting Seeing Things Differently: Rethinking the Relationship Between Data, Models, and Decision-Making around Australia in August this year.
The IAH is also celebrating its 60th Anniversary at the international congress on Montpellier, France in September. The theme is “Groundwater and Society: 60 years of IAH”.
In October, Dr Rebecca Nelson commences her joint NCGRT/IAH distinguished lecture tour, presenting ¬ Regulating the cumulative impacts of groundwater withdrawals: Australia and further afield. The Darcy and Distinguished Lecturer series are integrated into the broader set of local seminars offered by many of our state branches.
Looking further afield, dates have been announced for the next IAH/NCGRT Australasian Groundwater Conference 11–13 July 2017 at the University of NSW in Sydney. The conference theme is Groundwater Futures: Science to Policy. This will be a great opportunity to showcase the come together and share our leading thinking in the management of groundwater resources.
The opportunities that seminars, conferences and congresses bring are not just in the knowledge shared, but in the opportunity to discuss issues with your peers. Whether a local branch meeting or an international conference, I encourage all members to get involved!
Have fun planning your “learning and networking” opportunities!
