UH Water Resources Research Center sets symposium
Advertiser Staff
The Water Resources Research Center at the University of Hawai'i at Manoa will host a half-day symposium on the state of Hydrological Science in Hawai'i on Aug. 13.This symposium is inspired by last year's release "Hydrology of the Hawaiian Islands" by Dr. L. Stephen Lau and John Mink by the University of Hawai'i Press.
The new book provides a basic understanding of hydrology for the general reader and also goes into depth for readers more familiar with the discipline in Hawai'i.The goal of the symposium is to bring together people who work or study in the field of hydrology in all its aspects, to review the history of Hawaiian hydrology and discuss topics for future development.
Emeritus Professor of Geology & Geophysics Frank Peterson will serve as moderator. Speakers include U.H. Geography Professor Tom Giambelluca, Oceanography Specialist Steve Dollar, and USGS Hydrologist Delwyn Oki.
The symposium will be held in the Marine Science building, room 114 on the University of Hawai'i-Manoa campus, and will begin at 8:30 a.m. Parking will be available in the structure on lower campus.
For more information, please contact Philip Moravcik at 956-3097 or ormorav@hawaii.edu and RSVP by July 31.
