SESSION:
The Conference
Chairs will make welcoming remarks and opening statements. A local welcoming speaker
and several
prominent keynote speakers, including Matt Larson, Associate Director
for Water
(USGS) and alternate Chair of the Advisory Committee on Water
Information, will
also address the Conference. EXHIBITS: Exhibitors are being solicited in the following areas: Surface water, sediment, and water-quality-data collection, recording, and analysis equipment and software; laboratory equipment; erosion-control products; computer hardware and software for collection, distribution, and/or analysis of hydrologic data; surveying equipment, both for land and underwater use; hydrologic, sedimentation, climate variability/change, and decision support systems modeling firms; and any other related equipment or services related to the theme of the Conference. The Exhibit Hall will contain about 35 10x10-foot booths and will be open during conference hours on Sunday through Tuesday. A Grand Opening of the Exhibit Hall is planned for Sunday and will include a two-hour get acquainted reception in the Exhibit Hall from 5:30pm to 7:30pm. All Monday and Tuesday coffee breaks, poster sessions, and receptions will also be held in the Exhibit Hall to insure that participants have ample time to visit all the exhibits. A special Exhibitor’s Reception and Student Poster Session is planned for Monday evening following the Technical Sessions. Exhibits will close around 3:30pm on Tuesday. The rental fee for each booth will be $850 and will include one complimentary full conference registration. See the Exhibitor information on www.jfic.us or for additional information contact Mr. Joe Treadway, USGS Hydrologic Instrumentation Facility, Building 2101, Stennis Space Center, MS 39529; phone 228-688-3573; FAX 228-688-1577; jbtread@usgs.gov.STUDENT PROGRAM/POSTER PAPER COMPETITION: Student posters on sedimentation and hydrologic modeling will also be displayed and presented during the Exhibitor’s Reception on Monday evening. See the list of student posters later in this announcement. For abstracts that are accepted for either oral or poster presentation, students will be asked to submit a paper (maximum of 12 pages). The student authors will present their topics, and their posters and papers will be judged for cash prizes. Separate cash awards (>$500) will be given to the best papers and best posters. A special student lunch session on Monday will be provided where students will have a chance to learn about careers in the Federal Government. The student registration fee for the conference is substantially reduced. Full-time students may register for the conference at a special fee of $180 before May 31, 2010, and $210 after May 31 or onsite. The conference registration fee will be waived for selected students who volunteer to operate computers and projectors (audio visual assistants). Any full time student that is interested in volunteering as an audio/visual assistant should contact Jeff Harris for details (530-756-1104, David.J.Harris@usace.army.mil). Limited funds are available to assist students with travel and hotel expenses on a case-by-case basis, depending on the expressed need. Preference will be given to students who are presenters and who volunteer to serve as audio visual assistants. For more information concerning student assistance and the procedure for applying for travel assistance, contact Dr. Richard H. Hawkins, University of Arizona (520-621-7273, rhawkins@Ag.arizona.edu). MODEL DEMONSTRATIONS/POSTER SESSION AND DINNER: A 4.5-hour session for computer-model demonstrations and posters, including sedimentation and hydrologic modeling, will be offered Wednesday afternoon and evening. A light dinner will be provided during this time. See the “Technical Papers, Posters, and Model Demonstrations” section of this announcement for a listing of the Model Demonstrations. WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Federal, State, and local agency personnel, consultants, and researchers involved in the development and/or implementation of surface-water quantity and quality models, as well as individuals involved in decision making that depends on information developed by these hydrologic-based models should attend. Individuals from outside of the United States are encouraged to attend the conference. |
