Attendees have the opportunity to make oral presentations and posters, as well as to take part in workshops, exhibits, plenary sessions and panel sessions. The day prior to the conference will be a free workshop for early career professionals registered for the conference.

If you wish to submit an abstract for consideration by the Technical Committee, you must also intend to register for the Symposium. Online submission is the only method of receipt of abstracts.

The conference organisers are also looking to feature a selection of videos or animations around climate change and adaptation. Expressions of interest should be sent to nccarf@griffith.edu.au by 28th February along with:

Early bird pricing closes at 5pm sharp Sydney time today (24th May 2019) and with the symposium a little over two weeks away there won’t be any last minute extensions.

All abstract submissions will be reviewed by the HWRS Scientific Committee. The Scientific Committee may accept or reject abstracts and their decision is final. The outcome of abstract submissions will be emailed in June.

On 12-13 June 2019 we will be holding a symposium marking George’s formal retirement from The University of Newcastle and the start of George’s post-university career and lifestyle. This will be a symposium open to all George’s friends and professional colleagues to celebrate the myriad of contributions George has made to hydrology research and professional practice throughout his career, and to look forward to the future in these areas by identifying Grand Challenges in research, practice, and how to link the two.

The organisers have locked in most of the speakers for the Kuzcera Symposium and its clear that this event is rapidly becoming the event to be at for Hydrolody theory and practice in Australia and New Zealand for 2019. Some of the highlights include:

Climate Adaptation 2018 is the major Australian forum focused exclusively on climate impacts and adaptation. In 2018, NCCARF are partnering with Engineer’s Australia to incorporate Practical Responses to Climate Change and build a bigger, broader program.

Abstract submission have been extended and must be submitted by midnight 9th February 2018. You can visit the conference website at www.climateadaptation2018.com.au to submit an abstract or register.

Abstracts are invited for Engineers Australia’s Hydrology and Water Resources Symposium (HWRS 2018). The theme of the Symposium is “Water and Communities”.

The Hydrology and Water Resources Symposium 2022 has been announced with a call for abstracts already out. It is scheduled for 30 November – 1 December 2022. From the Organising Committee:

This is an optional pre-conference workshop as part of the Climate Adaptation Conference taking place in Melbourne from 8-10 May 2018.  Special pricing has been arranged for delegates and EA Members:

The first call for abstracts for the 2020 Hydraulics in Water Engineering is now live. Please check out all the details on the conference website and, to be nice to the organisers, submit an abstract early.

“Engineers Australia is set to host the 40th iteration of the Hydrology and Water Resources Symposium from 30 November – 1 December 2022, under the theme, ‘the past, the present, the future.’

This afternoon workshop will be presented by the editors and authors of Book 9 of ARR and will cover the philosophy and application of ARR in Urban catchments. The workshop will provide an overview of ARR and its application in urban areas. This workshop will include practical application via examples, open discussion and answers to questions. Importantly, this workshop is an opportunity for practitioners and ARR editors to discuss the objectives, the application and challenges of the new ARR Urban Book as part of completing the Book.

Join us as we look back at the work and impact of our industry predecessors, discuss current water-related issues and trends, and explore the innovations and technologies that are shaping the future of water engineering. “
