Friends and Colleagues,

You are invited to attend the annual meeting of the Wisconsin Section of the American Water Resources Association (AWRA). The meeting will be held at the Radisson Paper Valley Hotel, Appleton, WI on March 3 & 4, 2011.  Please consider sharing your work at what we're sure will be another excellent meeting!

Our theme this year is "Wisconsin's Role in Great Lakes Restoration".  We are planning plenary, oral and poster sessions addressing both surface water and groundwater issues in Wisconsin. We are soliciting posters and presentations related to the theme as well as for general sessions on research related to hydrology, hydrogeology, watershed management, limnology, aquatic toxicology, water chemistry, aquatic ecology, and water policy. Please specify your preference for oral or poster presentation when you submit your abstract. Talks will be scheduled in 20-minute time slots, including 5 minutes for questions.

Abstracts are due December 6th. Please see the linked announcement for abstract format and submittal guidelines.
