2018 Meeting > Home
The Alaska Section, AWRA is excited to announce the 2018
Annual Conference. AWRAs mission is to advance multidisciplinary
water resources education, management and research. Our annual
conference is an opportunity for collaboration among physical,
biological, and social scientists, engineers, and other professionals
concerned with water resource research, planning, development,
management, and education. See the list of proposed sessions
and topics below. The end of early registration and the deadline
to submit
abstracts for 15 min talk or a poster session is
Friday, March 9th. Dont miss out on sharing your
work with other water resources professionals and the chance
to save $50 on the registration fee! Proposed Sessions for 15 min talks or poster session:
Rapid Talks: This year we are adding a new category of short presentations. These are envisioned to be up to 5 minutes, 0-2 slides, and on topics of interest to our membership that arent conducive to a full-length presentation. We are especially interested in folks with knowledge of Alaskan data resources (geospatial, sensor data, historical data, etc.) who can share what they use and where they find it, but other topics could include announcements of new working groups or meetings, projects in initial phases that are just too exciting to wait for full results, or a new toolbox, gadget, or method that doesnt require a 15 minute explanation. This is also a place for water resources show-and- tell, such as check out this huge ice jam I saw last week. Or this is what a failed rootwad revetment looks like. Please sign up via the abstract submission page, but note that you may sign up to give a rapid talk up to the conference date as long as space is available. Anyone can give a rapid talk, including those who are presenting in an oral or poster session. Note to presenters: talks are 15 min with 5 min for questions. There will be a dedicated laptop computer with Microsoft PowerPoint installed for presentations. Please meet with your session moderator prior to your session in order to pre-load your presentation on the laptop. Look for a folder on the Desktop screen of the laptop labeled with the Session name and place your presentation in that folder. You will be able to load with either a USB stick or USB portable hard drive. Any special requirements should be discussed with your Moderator or in advance to kevin.petrone@alaska.gov.
