Fundamental Geoscience; Mineral Exploration; Geohazards; Water, Ecosystem and Climate Change; Mineral Processing and Instrumental Analysis; Geoscience for Society. The congress covers all aspects of earth sciences regional to local studies, and deep process to surface features, as well as human and earth interaction through mining or dealing with natural hazards. It aims to bring together leading academic scientists and researchers, enabling the possibility to share experiences and present latest research results. The congress also provides an opportunity to visit some landscapes and geological attractions of Iran and enjoy its unique cultures and traditions.
We, therefore, kindly invite authors to contribute to the congress through submission of their papers, abstract and attend this significant event.

Integrated Water Resources Management and Sustainable Development Challenges, case of Arid Regions
Hydrogeology of Arid Regions. The arid regions are known by their limited water potential, which minimizes the occurence of aquifer recharge and watercourse supply. The sustainable management of water resources in these regions is a permanent challenge, due to the increasing demand, linked to population growth combined to the negative impacts of climate change.
The 2017 edition of GIRE3D Congress is dedicated to arid regions and will provide an opportunity to water actors and scientists for exchanging adapted methodologies to water management in such contexts.
Price: 150 Euros
Location: Dakhla, Morocco
Organised by The IAH Moroccan Chapter.

GWD 2017
15th Biennial Ground Water Division Conference: Change, Challenge and Opportunity. The Ground Water Division was established in 1978 as a division of the Geological Society of South Africa with the objective of advancing the science and technology of groundwater. The biennial groundwater conference has been central in sharing knowledge about groundwater in South Africa, with this being the 15th three day event. However, these conferences are never just about the science of groundwater. They are about putting work up for peer review, they are about networking and they are about renewing friendships. Importantly, they provide a platform to pull young hydrogeologists into the community, refreshing the exchange of ideas. The organising committee intend to ensure GWD2017 continues the tradition of advancing the science and technology of groundwater while building friendships.
Papers and posters are required from both the young and not so young; early career hydrogeologists and those who have been around the block once or twice; and from academics, researchers, consultants and state officials. Change, Challenge, Opportunity provides a wide scope with which to put together a programme which will be of interest to the groundwater community at large. The organisers also plan to host short courses and workshops on the weekend prior to the conference. GWD2017 is being held at the historic Spier Wine Estate. In addition to offering a relaxed atmosphere in which to confer, the venue will give visitors a true feel of the Cape.
Abstract submission opens on 30 November.
Organised by The Groundwater Division of the Geological Society of South Africa and the IAH South African Chapter.

The Canadian Geotechnical Society (CGS) in collaboration with the Canadian National Chapter of the International Association of Hydrogeologists (IAH-CNC) invite you to GeoOttawa 2017, the 70th Canadian Geotechnical Conference and the 12th Joint CGS/IAH-CNC Groundwater Conference. The conference will be held at the Shaw Centre in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada from Sunday, October 1 to Wednesday, October 4, 2017.
The theme for GeoOttawa 2017 is “70 Years of Canadian Geotechnics and Geoscience”. The organizers will build on this conference theme throughout the technical program and social activities and plan to remind delegates of the extensive contributions of geotechnical and hydrogeological practitioners to Canada’s built form since the Canadian Geotechnical Society was founded 70 years ago. In addition to the technical program and plenary sessions, the conference will include a complement of local tours and short courses.
As Canada’s capital, Ottawa is a showcase city of more than one million people. Located in Ontario at the Quebec border, it’s a city steeped in culture, with world-class museums and galleries displaying stunning national collections and special exhibitions from Canada and around the world. And as 2017 is Canada’s sesquicentennial, Ottawa will be the epicentre of our country’s 150th birthday celebrations that GeoOttawa 2017 will be sure be a part of.
Within walking distance of national sights, historic landmarks and numerous hotels and restaurants, the Shaw Centre is Ottawa’s hub for meetings and events and will be the official venue for GeoOttawa 2017. Our partner conference hotels – The Westin, Lord Elgin, Les Suites and Novotel – are only minutes away from the Shaw Centre and together will provide first rate accommodation for delegates.
Ottawa’s character, national treasures, natural beauty, exciting night life and relaxed urban vibe will certainly add to the experience of attending GeoOttawa 2017.
Join us in October 2017!
