MODFLOW and More 2013: Translating Science into Practice

The Integrated GroundWater Modeling Center (IGWMC) is pleased to announce that the MODFLOW and More 2013 conference will be held from June 2-5, 2013 at the Colorado School of Mines campus in Golden, Colorado. We focus on integrating practical and research perspectives and take the "and more" very seriously in that the strength of the conference depends on presentations with diverse modeling programs, methods, and perspectives. IGWMC will sponsor travel and registration for the student submitting the abstract judged to be the best.
