ICCR 2020 covers all aspects of coastal research including but not limited to relevant aspects of geological sciences, biology (ecology and coastal marine ecosystems), geomorphology (physical geography), climate, littoral oceanography, coastal hydrogeology, environmental (resource) management, engineering, and remote sensing. Policy, coastal law, and relevant issues such as conflict resolution and risk management and Integrated Coastal Zone Management would also be covered by the congress.
The ICCR 2020 brings together delegates from all over the world to collaborate and discuss the most current coastal research studies and projects. It also provides a premier interdisciplinary platform for researchers, practitioners and educators to present and discuss the most recent innovations, trends, and concerns as well as practical challenges encountered and solutions adopted in the fields of coastal environments sciences.
he ICCR 2020 congress will include 6 sessions covering every aspect of geological sciences, biology (ecology and coastal marine ecosystems), geomorphology (physical geography), climate, littoral oceanography, coastal hydrogeology, environmental (resource) management, engineering, remote sensing, risk management and Integrated Coastal Zone Management. This congress will encourage interaction between researchers from a range of disciplines. It will also provide an opportunity for a large number of doctoral students to offer their first public presentations of their work.
The participants are invited to submit the oral/poster presentation proposals papers. Research Orals/posters should highlight research and training including preliminary results, completed studies and summaries of relevant published research. The aim of the orals/posters session is to facilitate dissemination of research results.Organised by Faculty of Science and Technique of Al Hoceima in collaboration with the Moroccan Committee of the IAH.

28-29 Oct 2020 – Online
Online IWRA-IAH Conference on Groundwater & Climate Change
Addressing Groundwater Resilience under Climate Change. Currently, climate change has become an undeniable major pressure on the world’s freshwater resources. Yet, the effects of climate change on groundwater, the most significant freshwater resource on Earth, are still poorly understood. Somewhat neglected by policymakers and ignored by the public, groundwater management, governance and monitoring are less developed compared to surface water, globally. More up-to-date research and knowledge generation and sharing, as well as more efforts to raise awareness of the links between groundwater and climate change are also critical to ensure the sustainable management of this vital resource.
The online conference will address these challenges and priorities in order to manage resiliently groundwater resources under climate change. This conference’s main goal is to, ultimately, promote the sharing and exchange of state-of-the-art scientific and policy knowledge on the links between an increased resilience of groundwater resources and climate change for the sustainable governance, use and management of these resources in all regions of the world.
Send your proposals for oral presentations by Wednesday, July 15th, 2020. More info and details at https://iwraonlineconference.org/call-for-abstracts/.Organised by IWRA; IAH is lead partner.
