A Groundwater Tour of Minnesota
Spring Conference 2022 – April 28, 2022
Online via Zoom
Agenda
Presentation Abstracts and Speaker Biographies
Description
The MGWA Spring Conference, “A Groundwater Tour of Minnesota,” will feature presentations on groundwater projects and studies from across the state of Minnesota (and a bit beyond). The presentations will highlight the unique and diverse hydrogeologic settings across the state and will provide attendees with a broader understanding and perspective on a range of groundwater issues across the area.
Many of us have been forced to stay close to home the last couple of years, but hopefully the upcoming conference will help us all learn something new outside our immediate area of focus and might just help scratch that travel itch that some of us are feeling! The conference will be online, which once again allows us to host speakers from outside the area.
