Hydrology Conference 2010
Hydrology Conference 2010
THEMES/TOPICS
This major international conference, taking place in San Diego, USA,
October 11 – 13, 2010, will target the developing interdisciplinary
science themes in the interface between hydrology and other scientific
disciplines, including climate change, biology, chemistry and social
sciences. These subjects are of particular relevance as population
increases and a changing climate bring new pressures on hydrological
systems around the world.
