AMERICAN WATER RESOURCES ASSOCIATION'S SPRING SPECIALTY CONFERENCE
Agricultural Hydrology and Water Quality II
MARCH 25-27, 2013 St. Louis, MO
CALL FOR SPECIAL SESSIONS
We will be in America's Heartland for AWRA's second specialty
conference on Agricultural
Hydrology and Water Quality . Agricultural sustainability
is a pressing issue, as the agricultural community is faced with
meeting the food and energy demands of a growing world population
while trying to minimize their environmental footprint. Multidisciplinary
research in agricultural hydrology and water quality will undoubtedly
play a major role in addressing these challenges.
The Conference Planning Committee invites you to propose a Special
Session. Special Sessions can be in the form of a panel discussion
or a group of 4 oral presentations on a specific topic. A Special
Session Organizers' role is to propose a relevant and timely subject,
recruit speakers to submit abstracts to the session, and moderate
the session during the March 2013 Conference. Those interested
in organizing and hosting a special session should provide the
following information:
There is no fee to submit a proposal for
a Special Session (note that there is a $25 fee for all abstracts
submitted during the general call for abstracts). The above information
should be submitted directly to the Technical Program Chairs no
later than June 18, 2012:
Proposals for Special Sessions will be evaluated by the Conference
Planning Committee based on the timeliness and relevance of the
topic, and the degree to which the topic will bring together key
researchers and practitioners to disseminate recent advances to
the water resources and soils communities.
Abstracts submitted for an accepted Special Session will be subject
to the same submittal and review process as all other abstracts.
