Dear Colleagues,
please distribute information about this year's Isotope and Hydrology Conference in Adelaide, Australia, among your students and colleagues.
 
best wishes,
Evelyn
Joint Congress of:
9th Australasian Environmental Isotope Conference
and
2nd Australasian Hydrogeology Research Conference
 
http://groundwater.com.au/07-A3-Brochure-135399.pdf

 
Wednesday 13th ? Friday 15th December 2006
Concurrent Conferences
Stamford Grand Hotel
Moseley Square, Glenelg Beach, ADELAIDE, South Australia, AUSTRALIA
 
 
Integrating Research and Innovation
 
This joint congress intends to bring together interested scientists, researchers and students to cover a wide range of new and innovative research ideas in environmental isotope geochemistry and hydrogeology. Both conferences will encourage participants to present new ideas and explore novel integrative and multidisciplinary approaches. 
It is apparent that an important characteristic of modern hydrogeology and environmental isotope geochemistry is the rapidly growing need for an interdisciplinary treatment of the problems we currently face.
This congress aims to extend beyond practical applications of environmental isotope geochemistry and hydrogeology and sets as its goal a desire to focus on fundamental research and understanding and the necessary interdisciplinary approaches that are required to make important and exciting advances in both research areas. Through papers that focus on these fundamental integration and innovation matters, it is expected that these two conferences will be a significant event for scientists, students and researchers to broaden our minds and push the frontiers of science.
